The Georgia Bulldogs repeat as National Champions dominating TCU in 65-7 in the National Championship. Georgia entering as a -13.5 favorite dominated the Horned Frogs as the Bulldogs were up 38-7 at halftime and would eventually keep pouring it on. With this win Stetson Bennett cements himself as one of the greatest players in Georgia Football history and Kirby now enters the argument of the best coach in College Football. Head Coach Lovie Smith has been fired after one season with the Houston Texans. Lovie Smith led the Texans to a 3-13-1 record in his lone season as Head Coach. JT Sports explains his confusion with the Texans deciding to hire Lovie Smith after firing previous Head Coach David Culley after he finished his first season in Houston. Was Lovie Smith unfairly fired? The Arizona Cardinals have fired Kliff Kingsbury. Kliff Kingsbury was the Head Coach of the Cardinals for the last 4 seasons and compiled a 28-37-1 including an NFL playoff appearance in 2021. The Arizona Cardinals decision to move on from Kliff Kingsbury can be linked to disfunction with star QB Kyler Murray along with a stagnant offense and lack of player development. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jtsports/support

This week on the ‘The Huddle' we discuss the Houston Texans, review their season and highlight the ways in they can improve their football team. As the Texans work to close the chapter on the Deshaun Watson era, new Head Coach Lovie Smith has plenty of work ahead of him. Will the Texans continue to build around rookie QB Davis Mills? Or will they look to upgrade in free agency or the draft?In 'the Match' we continue our NFL Draft series and feature two star offensive tackles in Evan Neal (Alabama) and Ikem Ekwonu (North Carolina State). Despite Neal being the heavy favourite to be selected as the first offensive lineman and potentially the number one overall pick, Ekwonu's draft stock slolwy rising amongst the scouts. Which player will hear their name called first? And will both players be able to handle the pressure of the Left Tackle position in their rookie season?And to round out the show on ‘Rapid Fire', the team review the free agent class and select their number one target for the Houston Texans.~Stacey, Alex & Dan

Penn State hosts Illinois for their annual homecoming game on Saturday under new Head Coach Bret Bielema. What are the Illini shaping into under the former Wisconsin coach? Scott Richey, who covers Illinois football for The News Gazette joins host Thomas Frank Carr to discuss Bielema, the team and how things have gone so far this season. They start with Bielema's comments this week where he seemingly threw several parts of his team under the bus and Scott's interpretation of what the first-year head coach was trying to say. Then they get into what it's been like for Illinois fans and how they're reacting to their new head coach after several very unsuccessful seasons under previous Head Coach Lovie Smith. T-Frank also asks for Scott's impressions of Bielema so far. After that they get into the roster as it stands and start that quarterback position, which has been a revolving door with the constant injuries to Brandon Peters. Richey gives an update on who might start on Saturday as well as his prediction on how Peters will fare this week based on what Bielema said earlier. Then they discuss the offensive line and their abilities, and inabilities as players on the field. Richey gets into the strength of the Illinois offense and then says why the weakness of the offensive line is potentially more detrimental than what it does well. The receivers are next and Richey paints an even bleaker picture for their capabilities through seven weeks of the season. Finally they end on a positive note for the Illini, focusing on the running backs, which have been the most productive part of the offense. After that T-Frank brings up Bielema's comments from earlier this week and pushes back on what the head coach had to say about his defensive line. They get into the scheme they run, the players they're using and the adjustments they've made this year. Injuries have also been a big part of the situation so far and Richey gives an update on one key player at linebacker that won't play this weekend, and may not play the rest of the year based on some comments this week. Lastly, they get into the secondary and how they've tweaked some schemes and players in order to play differently after a disastrous start to the season.
Harry Swayne was born in Philadelphia and attended Rutgers University, receiving a B.S. in Sport Management. He received numerous Big East honors and was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 7th round of the 1987 NFL draft. After playing defensive line for three years, he made the difficult switch in 1990 to left offensive tackle where he would play for twelve years. Harry spent the next six years as a San Diego Charger, taking them to their first ever World Championship, Super Bowl XXIX in 1994. He would win the next two World Championships with the Denver Broncos. Harry then signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 1999 and won his third World Championship, Super Bowl XXXV. The Miami Dolphins were his final team for the 2001 season after fifteen years in the NFL. After an extensive year of training with the para-church ministry, Athletes in Action, Harry was assigned to the Chicago Bears. He served as Life Coach and Team Chaplain for five years during Head Coach Lovie Smith's tenure. In 2008, Harry returned to the Baltimore Ravens as the Player Development Director, working closely with GM Ozzie Newsome. Harry was tasked with shaping the culture of the team by creating innovative programs and strategically engaging and utilizing partnerships with key influencers. Harry designed, built and executed programs that ensured high potential players performed consistently at the highest level of sport. He created and implemented the Ravens Mentoring Program, which became a sought-after designation for veteran players for 10 years. Additionally, Harry initiated the Ravens Rookie Orientation program which he designed to utilize solution-based research and content driven by qualitative and quantitative data. These and other programs set the Ravens apart. Harry proved that analyzing data in HR was just as profitable as analytics in strategic football. His talent acquisition duties within the personnel department included 90+ face to face interviews in which Harry identified character traits consistent with organizational goals. Harry's narrative reports to the GM, Ozzie Newsome, both helped to forecast workforce planning and inform program changes. During his time with the Ravens, Harry's programs, including his “Bring the Upstairs Down” (BUD) initiative (which educated employees on benefits, insurance grievances, payroll, union matters, 401k, etc.) greatly influenced the culture of the team and the organization. His robust and comprehensive programs are driven by a holistic approach. People perform at high levels when they are situated as teammates, friend, and co-workers invested relationally. Many with knowledge of my programming agree with Troy Vincent, VP NFL Operations, that “Harry's department is the benchmark of Player Engagement.” Harry participated in and won the Wharton School of Executive Education (2012) competition. He led a group of six other NFL franchises and won by utilizing feedback in the milieu as a networking strategy for Career Development. Harry completed his Masters in Human Service Counseling (2018) at Liberty University.
