In the new world of college football there may be just as much action in the courtroom as there is on the field. The latest trend is if you want another season in college, after your eligibility is up, take it to the courtroom! The two most recent cases of that are Trinidad Chambliss and Joey Aguilar. Both of whom are waiting to see if they get an injunction that will allow them to play in the 2026 season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey explain both of these cases and update everyone with where the cases are in the process. They also take a look at the schools these quarterbacks are looking to go back to. Both schools have 5-star QBs waiting in the wings, which leads to the question: in the transfer portal world, are 5-star QBs better off going to a smaller school where they can play right away and transferring later?Then, the guys get into some more College Football Playoff conversation. The CFP released the 2026 & 2027 schedule for the quarterfinals, semifinals and championship game. In 2026, the playoff spans over 39 days. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss the ludicrous schedule. They also talk about a potential savior in the NFL. With the NFL now owning a stake in ESPN, will they help out college football's scheduling to make it a better product?Later, Andy shares the results of his homework assignment. Last episode, the guys discussed how weak Week 1 is to start the 2026 season. Andy shares his plan of how to move Oklahoma and Michigan to Week 1 to inject some energy into the opening weekend slate of games. The guys also close the show by discussing the Washington Post shutting down their sports division.All of this and more on College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - SEC QB's suing for eligibility6:18 - Trinidad Chambliss' case update8:32 - Joey Aguilar case update16:08 - What does the future of 5-star QB's in college look like?28:24 - CFP releases 2026 schedule40:22 - Andy tries to improve Week 1's schedule51:55 - Reflecting on the Washington Post news Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

The phone lines are burning up tonight as frustrated Packers fans unload on everything from coaching accountability to cornerback attitudes. When one player says he hit all his personal goals while the team missed the playoffs, and another shows genuine humility about his struggles - which one deserves to stay? Tonight's callers dive deep into the uncomfortable reality facing this franchise. We break down why Bisaccia, Stenovich, and Butkus aren't going anywhere despite underwhelming results, and why making excuses isn't the same as making a defense. The cornerback debate gets heated when Chris from Alabama contrasts Nate Hobbs' accountability with Keyshawn Nixon's "I met my goals" mentality - and the numbers might surprise you about who actually played better. Plus, we tackle free agency priorities head-on. Is Justin Fields the answer at backup QB? Can we realistically upgrade at corner when only one rookie outperformed Nixon last year? And what does the Eagles' dysfunction teach us about appreciating what we have in Green Bay? The hard truth: you can't cut your way to a better roster. Somebody has to play, and the math on replacing multiple corners just doesn't work. Subscribe, leave a review, and call in next time to join the conversation.

Trade deadline day is here and the gang spends the entire show waiting on the Miami Heat to make a move. Leroy pushes back on Tobin and Brittney's “negative” outlook while Tobin yells down to 601 Biscayne Blvd. begging Pat Riley to PLEASE DO SOMETHING. As the deadline approaches, Heat frustration grows, Tobin's tirade continues, and the guys break down all the NBA news while also taking a quick timeout to discuss the future of Tua as the Dolphins' starting QB. Things take a dark turn when reports confirm the Bucks will not be trading Giannis, sending Tobin into a full meltdown aimed at Milwaukee, Giannis, and just about everyone else. Heat fans call in to react to the failed dream trade, and the show closes with lingering sorrow, Leroy trying to stay optimistic, and Tobin swearing he'll behave better tomorrow (doubtful).

The trade deadline is fast approaching and the guys are breaking down all the news coming out of the NBA. Tobin continues on his tirade against the Miami Heat as he and many fans believe that it is time for them to make some kind of move.

With two first-round picks in hand, the New York Jets may have the flexibility to make a bold quarterback move in the upcoming draft. Evan and Tiki dive into the idea of using a high pick on Ty Simpson, a prospect whose stock has swung wildly over the last college season. They revisit how quickly quarterback evaluations can change, why waiting can be risky if you truly believe in a player, and how past debates like the Daniel Jones draft still shape how fans view early QB selections today. The conversation also expands to broader draft philosophy, media hype cycles, and why it may be too early for anyone to feel confident about next year's quarterback class. A thoughtful look at patience, projection, and pressure when it comes to finding the next franchise quarterback.

It's Super Bowl Week, and Jeff Mans is celebrating everything that is Super Bowl 60 related. He begins this week's show with a full reveal of his NFL betting record this season and a recap of every year he's had betting on the NFL since 2018. He discusses the journey that the Patriots and Seahawks each took to make it this far and how these teams match up against each other. Jeff gives out a few “fun facts” surrounding this year's big game, including the record of teams wearing white in the Super Bowl, the impact of the QB's last name and birthdate, and many other strange but true facts about this game. Then it is time for Mans to go over every single Super Bowl bet currently offered at the Fanduel sportsbook and tell you which to consider and which to stay away from. He gives you examples of how the books are trying to lure you in and trick you with specific wording to make you think you are getting a better deal than you actually are. There are hundreds of party games, prop bets, sides, totals, parlays, and live bet considerations in this episode. Of course, Jeff also “puts it on tape” with his official Super Bowl 60 prediction and favorite bet for the game.

There's a certain kind of coach you can spot from a mile away.Not because of the headset or the scheme or the postgame soundbite. But because of the energy — the tone in the building, the way his players talk about the work, the way the staff carries itself on a Monday, the way the program feels when the season is done and the scoreboard is no longer speaking.Tim Plough is that kind of coach.Welcome to our Coaches Series, where this off season we will bring you in depth analysis, insight and conversations with coaches and GM's in college football.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To learn what Makes Coaches Great be sure to subscribe to our newsletter, podcast and YouTube channelRight now, leading UC Davis football, Tim Plough is building something that doesn't fit neatly into the modern college football algorithm. It's one that has almost nothing to do with chasing the next rung and everything to do with owning the one right in front of you. And for every head coach or aspiring head coach, this conversation will cut you deeply. (And if you're a fan of Ted Lasso, Tim Plough will tee you up for this season) As always, every conversation here at Y-Option is fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.Coach Plough's first two seasons as a head coach have been the kind that earn attention: postseason football, national visibility, and a growing sense that UC Davis isn't just “a good program” — it's a program moving toward something bigger.But what stood out most in our conversation wasn't the resume line. It was the way he described his head coaching experience: the learning curve, the mistakes, the emotional toll of falling short late, and the obsession with getting better without letting the business turn him into someone he doesn't recognize.In a profession that often equates “growth” with leaving, Plough has had to define the word differently.Because he's lived the push-pull that every ambitious coach knows: succeed where you are, and the world starts telling you the only rational next step is to get out.“The two-box filter”This part of our conversation will be cut and pasted into my life and may impact yours. Coach Plough shared a simple framework he's used to make career decisions — one that applies just as cleanly to players in the transfer portal as it does to coaches staring at the next offer.He evaluates opportunities through two essential questions:* Who will I be around every day?* Will this make me better—on and off the field? Essentially, will I grow holistically?If he can't check both boxes, he stays.That's it.No elaborate speech. No posturing. Just a disciplined refusal to trade daily environment and development for a temporary dopamine hit — whether that dopamine comes from money, visibility, or the illusion that “this leads to that.”It's a filter built for a chaotic era. And it might be the most practical tool I've heard from anyone navigating modern football. And it hit me square in the face as I almost changed my life path last year due to a temporary dopamine hit.Joy isn't soft. It's the edge.If you've watched UC Davis this season, you've probably seen it: the “JOY” hat, the postgame interviews with his kids, the steady presence even when the stakes are real. That isn't branding. It's philosophy.Plough's relationship with joy started years ago — through the influence of Jim Sochor, the architect of what so many still call the “Davis coaching tree.” Sochor didn't offer him a playbook first. He offered a question: Have you found joy?Over time, that question turned into a guiding principle:* Happiness is outcome-driven (and fragile).* Joy is process-driven (and stable).Tim Plough's point is simple: if your emotional state is tied to outcomes, you'll live on a roller coaster — high after a win, hollow after a loss, never anchored long enough to actually develop.But if you can build a “neutral mindset,” where gratitude and daily craft define the work, you gain something most teams spend all year chasing: consistency under pressure.Joy, in this framing, isn't softness. It's durability.Quarterbacks, development, and the modern trapTim Plough is a quarterback coach at heart, even with the head coach title. And I had to present to him my philosophy on the QB position right now: * QB development in high school is as advanced as it's ever been.* QB development in college—especially at the highest levels—is often the thinnest it's ever been.He agreed and took it a step further. After all, he said the development of the quarterback postion is “Quest of my life right now.” His reasoning is not because coaches don't care. It's because the incentives have changed, at every level in college.When teams can buy experience through the portal, many stop investing time in the slow, messy, essential process of developing someone. Instead, they recruit ready-made résumés: starts, reps, game film.The problem? Most of the quarterbacks who ultimately thrive — at any level — aren't always the ones who arrive as finished products. They're the ones who get shaped somewhere, then explode when opportunity finally arrives.In other words: development still matters. But fewer people are willing to pay for it with patience.Plough's counter is clear: if a player chooses a place where he can actually be developed, he can still end up on the biggest stages later — only now he'll be ready for them.He pointed to the rare modern decision that reflects this mindset: a young quarterback willing to be a backup, to learn, to be built, instead of chasing instant stardom.That choice feels almost rebellious in 2026. Which probably tells you why it's so valuable.Why players stay at UC DavisThis stat blew my mind. Since 2018, only 11 players transferred out of UC Davis compared to broader Division I trends where the number is over 200 per school. Think about that for a moment — only 11!In an age where movement is the default, Davis has become a place where continuity still exists.Plough's explanation isn't complicated:* Players feel coached.* Players feel developed.* Players feel valued.* The environment makes sense.* And the program's identity is strong enough to hold people in place.It's also worth noting: UC Davis operates without the financial weapons many programs now rely on. Which, paradoxically, helps clarify motives. If a player chooses Davis, it isn't because the check is the loudest voice in the room.It's because the work is. And now, it's because they see the transparency with Tim Plough.Family as culture, not accessoryOne of the most telling parts of the conversation had nothing to do with third-down calls. We touched up on the latest news around the coaching profession with new Bills head coach Joe Brady sharing that he missed the birth of a child due to a game and reportedly the GM of the Vikings is being criticized for taking two weeks of paternity leave. Two things that made most of the sports world cringe.Plough talked about building a staff culture where being a dad and a husband isn't something you squeeze in after the job — it's part of the job. A program where kids are around, where life isn't kept outside the facility doors, where coaches are expected to show up for their families with the same intensity they show up for game planning.He's not naïve about the grind. He's just clear about the cost.And he's making a decision — publicly, structurally — that time is more valuable than a bigger number on paper.That's rare. And if you've spent any time around football, you know how rare it is.Getting over the humpFor Oregon, Penn State, USC, Washington, Iowa, Nebraska fans — this one will resonate. Coach Plough opened up about the hardest part of building: getting over the hump and how to maximize a teams ability. That space between “we're close” and “we did it” is where programs either fracture or evolve. And for him, the answer isn't a magical speech. It's a renewed commitment to the smallest details:* Situational mastery* Ball security* Incremental improvements across offense, defense, and special teams* And, maybe most importantly, playing your best football when your best is required. (Hello Indiana fans)He's chasing the final step the same way he's built everything else: by refusing to let the moment become bigger than the craft while still seeking joy.The essence of our conversationCollege football is louder than it's ever been. More movement. More money. More urgency. More pressure to be “first” instead of thoughtful.And that's why a coach like Tim Plough matters.Because he's building something rooted in a different scoreboard.One that measures joy. Daily growth. Development. Family. Process. Environment. Identity.The Davis Way isn't a throwback. It's a counterpunch.And in this era, it might be the competitive advantage hiding in plain sight.Hope you enjoyed today's conversation and hope you enjoy our Coaches Series this off-season as more are on the way here at Y-Option.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

On this episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe break down the introductory press conference for new head coach Todd Monken and dive into the two biggest questions facing the Browns. First, they tackle the uncertain future of defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. After being passed over for the head coaching job, will he return? They discuss the potential for an “explosive situation” if a partnership is forced and whether Monken is equipped to handle the dynamic. With Schwartz's options limited to returning or retiring, the hosts debate if the Browns should let him go or hold him to his contract. Then, the conversation shifts to the offense and the murky quarterback room Monken inherits. The hosts explore the possibility of Monken fixing Deshaun Watson and salvaging the controversial trade, noting the coach's intrigue with the talented QB. They also discuss the supreme confidence of Shedeur Sanders and how Monken's tough, old-school coaching style will create a new dynamic and a potential two-man competition for the starting job this offseason.

Hour 4 kicks off with a Heat ticket giveaway featuring a trivia question about the 2006 championship run, followed by a look back at South Florida's best sports runs, including the Heat with LeBron, the 2003 Marlins, and the Panthers' unlikely 8-seed run to the finals. The conversation shifts to the struggling Panthers, dealing with injuries and the toll of back-to-back championship expectations. Finally, the Super Bowl takes center stage, debating whether Drake Maye's historic start at quarterback qualifies him as elite, comparing him to Joe Burrow, and others in a classic QB debate.

The Heat get blown out by the Hawks on a night meant to honor the 2006 championship team, making the loss even more disappointing with franchise legends in the building. NBA trade chatter ramps up after a busy day across the league, while everyone continues to wait on Giannis Antetokounmpo news and what it could mean for Miami. Joe points out the frustrating lack of consistency on the Heat roster and shifts to the Panthers, who have a lot of work to do after the Winter Olympic break to stay in the playoff hunt. A Kyle Crabbs replay airs before the conversation turns to Super Bowl weekend, where Joe breaks down the quarterback storylines, shares why he likes Seattle, and reiterates that the Dolphins must find a new QB next season.
