This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comSUBSCRIBER EPISODE (join here): The coaching carousel is about to reach max velocity. Richard leads Alex and Rodger through a broad overview of the state of play six days before “Black Sunday,” starting with the Lane Kiffin extended universe and moving outward from there. Among the topics discussed here:* The media apparatus behind Lane Kiffin and Jimmy Sexton's moves, plus Rodger's grand idea to finally reveal what's happening* Why you shouldn't trust anyone claiming to know for sure what Kiffin is doing, and why you shouldn't read too much into his slow process pointing him toward one school or another* Auburn has a clear plan in mind and has been focused on it for weeks. But until Kiffin gives a resolution to Ole Miss, LSU, and Florida, there's a variable in play for Auburn's main target* Terry Smith's maneuvering to get involved in the Penn State search, a great example of how coaches aren't hired, but elected* The options for Eric Morris, North Texas coach and leader of the nation's current No. 1 offense by SP+* Florida State keeping Mike Norvell and showing it doesn't want to compete (in the coaching market)* Cal's firing of Justin Wilcox, and why the two impending new hires in the Bay Area will be unlike anything we've seen in college football* The toxic public conversation around UCLA's athletic director and whether that makes the Bruins job less attractive* What's the deal with Kyle Whittingham at Utah?* UAB's missing-in-action AD. More on him here.And more. Produced by Anthony Vito.
