Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Leach

College football is dead, Ciarnan & Kev are just here for the eulogy. They blame Brendan Sorsby after his punishment was reduced from stripped eligibility to a two game suspension, discussing the fallout, NCAA gambling policies, and whether the organization has any idea how to handle sports betting in 2026. They also react to rumors that some programs may be reluctant to schedule Texas Tech moving forward and debate whether the NCAA is creating more problems than it's solving. They also discuss Nick Saban calling on Congress to help save college football, Mike Leach landing on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot, Virginia Tech receiving a massive $75 million donation, North Dakota getting caught tampering in one of the dumbest ways imaginable, UCLA's Karson Gordon entering the transfer portal as a track athlete, and Virginia vs. NC State being moved from Brazil back to Charlottesville. Then it's time for another logo history deep dive, this time covering the Pac-12... or what's left of it. From iconic mascots and forgotten classics to unnecessary gradients, questionable redesigns, and some surprisingly great branding decisions, the guys break down every school's logo history and debate which programs got it right and which completely missed the mark. College football chaos, NCAA controversy, transfer portal nonsense, Pac-12 logo history, and plenty of hot takes. It's all here.   Check out our socials: https://linktr.ee/QuadGate 00:00 Discussing team chances in tournament 04:39 NCAA tampering violation incident 06:36 NCAA transfer portal loophole 10:35 Letting Franklin go 15:12 Nick Saban's political involvement 16:58 Criticism of NCAA governance 22:21 Questioning NCAA integrity 23:52 Discussing gambling and its implications 28:07 College sports controversy response 33:50 Discussing NCAA's waning influence 37:30 Discussing retro design elements 40:23 Describing the beaver illustration 42:02 Choosing a Boise State logo 46:56 Funny colorblind moment in podcast 49:45 Discussing Texas State's Logo Changes 54:42 Writing about top quarterbacks 56:41 Wrapping up and checking in

Mike Leach is, in all likelihood, headed to the College Football Hall of Fame. But if we can rightfully change the rules to get him in, then it's time to do the same for Howard Schnellenberger. A College Football HOF without Howard is not a real monument to the sport. It's time to start the campaign for Howard and Ken gives you the opening building blocks.

COACH IS JOINED BY Dennis Dodd and Tony Barnhart to discuss the increasingly chaotic off-field landscape of college football, even as the on-field product remains as highly entertaining as ever. The trio dives into the current lack of formal employment and collective bargaining for athletes, noting that players are effectively playing for pay through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) endorsements. Dodd warns that any attempts to cap or cut this compensation could spark player strikes, pointing to past athlete protests at schools like Missouri, Michigan, and Penn State as definitive proof of their leverage. The group also breaks down the proposed Protect College Sports Act, describing the legislation as potentially hostile to the powerhouses in the SEC and Big Ten, while highlighting the heavy political pushback and scheduling hurdles it currently faces in Congress. The conversation then pivots to the College Football Hall of Fame and the controversial exclusion of the late Mike Leach. Dodd criticizes the Hall's rigid requirement of a .600 career winning percentage—a strict rule allegedly championed by former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner—which Leach narrowly missed with a .594, despite his undeniable and transformative impact on the game. The guests argue that this mandate arbitrarily blocks profoundly influential figures from receiving their proper recognition. The segment concludes on a humorous and candid note when Barnhart formally recuses himself from the Mike Leach debate, revealing his active role on the committee that handles Hall of Fame decisions, before cheerfully signing off from the broadcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On a chaotic Sunday evening in late November 2025, Mississippi radio and internet personality Clay Edwards went live for an impromptu “special edition” of The Clay Edwards Show to react to the bombshell news that had just broken across college football: Lane Kiffin was leaving Ole Miss to become the next head coach at LSU.   What followed was a two-and-a-half-hour, high-energy, profanity-laced, drink-spilling, keyboard-soaking monologue that perfectly captured the raw emotion sweeping through the state of Mississippi — especially among Ole Miss fans who felt betrayed and Mississippi State fans (like Clay) who couldn't decide whether to feel sorry for their rivals or simply enjoy the circus.   The Scene Clay opened the stream already in mid-chaos: he'd just knocked over an energy drink and a cup of greens all over his desk and shorts while frantically tweaking audio settings. Undeterred, he powered through, declaring, “Metallica can play in thunder and lightning and rainstorms; Clay Edwards can keep streaming with greens and Red Bull all over his shorts.”   Personal Context Clay, a lifelong Mississippi State fan, had attended his very first Egg Bowl just two days earlier on Black Friday. He'd gone primarily because he had a gut feeling it might be Lane Kiffin's final game in Oxford. Sitting in a cushy end-zone suite with his two Ole Miss-fan daughters (cheering in blue pom-poms while surrounded by mostly State fans), Clay snapped several now-viral photos of Kiffin on the sideline and doing his halftime interview. He jokingly captioned them at the time, “Could this be Lane Kiffin's last walk off the field as Ole Miss head coach?” Turns out his instinct was dead-on.   The Departure: “He Dipped Out Like a Hoe”Clay didn't mince words: “Lane Kiffin has dipped out on Ole Miss.” He compared the spectacle of LSU sending not one but two private jets to Oxford to pick up Kiffin and his family to “a dude rolling up to your house in a Lamborghini, walking up to your front porch, and taking your woman while you just stand there and watch.”   He then played video of angry Ole Miss fans gathering at the Oxford airport to scream profanities and flip the bird as Kiffin boarded the jet. Clay, a State fan with no dog in the fight, openly admitted, “I love this energy. This is big ‘f*** around and find out' energy. I'm kinda proud of y'all right now.”   Ole Miss's Swift Counterpunch Within hours of Kiffin's departure becoming official, Ole Miss promoted defensive coordinator Pete Golding to full-time head coach (not interim) and, in a move Clay called “absolute big-dick energy,” offered to double the salary of every assistant coach who chose to stay in Oxford instead of following Kiffin to Baton Rouge. Clay repeatedly praised the move: “Two can play that game, Hoss. Screw you, Lane. Screw you, LSU. We're keeping our staff.”   He acknowledged the hire gives “Zach Arnett vibes” (the Mississippi State DC who was promoted after Mike Leach's death, flopped spectacularly, then ended up… at Ole Miss), but said given the timing and the coaching carousel chaos, Ole Miss's hands were tied and the move made sense.   Lane's Farewell Letter: “His Agent Wrote That Bullsh*t”Clay tore into Kiffin's official goodbye statement, especially the line about “prayer and family time” leading him to LSU and his claim that Ole Miss denied his request to coach the Rebels through the playoffs. “Really, Lane? You prayed about it? So if you go 8–4 next year and don't win a natty, was God wrong?”   He scoffed at the idea that the players begged Kiffin to stay through the postseason: “Ain't no way in hell the team wanted you to dump them for the prettier girl and then still get a one-night stand through the playoffs. That letter was 100% written by his agent.”   The Bigger Picture Despite being a State fan, Clay repeatedly said he was rooting for Ole Miss to make a Cinderella run in the 12-team playoff: “Y'all have a real shot to be America's Team now. Coach just told the world ‘you ain't good enough to win the big one with.' Go win the damn thing and shove it down his throat.” He argued a deep Ole Miss playoff run would light a fire under Mississippi State's own boosters: “A high tide lifts all ships. When your rival is rolling, it makes you sick of hearing about them and spend whatever it takes to beat them.”   Final Verdict from Clay -Lane Kiffin is exactly who we thought he was: a brilliant football mind but a serial disloyal “hoe” who will leave anyone for a perceived bigger job (and Clay believes Alabama is still the one he really wants). -Ole Miss got done dirty in the optics, but responded like gangsters with the Golding hire and the “double your salary if you stay” offer. -The entire saga is the perfect illustration of everything wrong with the current coaching carousel and transfer-portal timing. -As a Mississippi State fan, he hates both Ole Miss and LSU… but he's pulling for the Rebels to win a couple playoff games “because it'll be the ultimate middle finger to Lane Train and it'll make our boosters open their wallets.” In classic Clay Edwards fashion, he closed the marathon stream covered in spilled drinks, laughing, and promising, “Man, what a day to be alive and love college football in the state of Mississippi.”  

The show is packed with football debate, coaching rumors, and unexpected audio: Boomer rips Lane Kiffin for abandoning his program and plays the classic Mike Leach "fat little girlfriends" clip, while Gio links Rams DC Chris Shula to the Giants' head coach job and then gets an email from an Indonesian singer. Plus, C-Lo covers Marcus Semien's arrival and the Nimmo exit, Joe Burrow's Thanksgiving preparation, and the weird reason Micah Parsons gets furious—losing at Scattegories. Plus UFOs and NFL Picks.

Hear why Boomer is furious with coaches like Lane Kiffin for abandoning their programs, and enjoy the classic, audio of the late Mike Leach commenting about "fat little girlfriends!"

There's a golf course in Pullman where dreams tend to get spoken into existence.That's where a young Luke Falk once told his dad, “I want to do what Wayne Dyer does. I want to write books, speak, and help people live to their full potential.”He hadn't even started a full season yet.Today's guest on Y-Option, fueled by 76 — keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, is Luke Falk — the former Washington State walk-on turned Pac-12's all-time passing leader and NFL QB, who's now the author of The Mind Strength Playbook. I have called a handful of games when Luke was the signal caller for WSU and as an ‘Honorary Coug' I've always felt like the edge that is curated in Pullman is something unique. Luke's edge was cultivated by Mike Leach and the style in which Coach Leach taught Luke left an imprint on the QB.When Mike Leach told him, “Play with house money,” Luke didn't fully get it.But Coach Leach was right — freedom creates flow. The moment you stop gripping outcomes so tight, you play loose again. You stop chasing approval and start trusting preparation.That idea anchors his new book, The Mind Strength Playbook: Master your Mind, Elevate Your Game, learning to train the mind the way athletes train their bodies. It's not therapy — it's prehab for your thoughts. He calls it mind strength — a daily discipline of clearing, visualizing, and forgiving so the real you can compete freely.Luke was an elite player, rising coach who has recently transitioned to his life's calling. Our conversation is one that will leave you curious, reflective and for the fans of Luke Falk over the years, extremely proud. For Luke, it's more than football. It's about the evolution from playing scared to playing free. From needing validation to giving yourself permission.Because when you stop playing for approval and start playing with house money, life — and the game — open up again.You can grab Luke's book, The Mind Strength Playbook, on Amazon or through his link supporting Hilinski's Hope.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.
