44: College Football Week 8 Preview; and the Importance of Coaches as Caretakers

On today's episode we further our talk about where this new era of College Football is taking us, I still maintain as far as on the field product goes, it's a good place.

Then, with so many college football coaches already fired or on the cusp, we examine the role coaches play as caretakers to their athletes and the departments that hire them. In particular is the situation at UAB, where Trent Dilfer has been fired, only after a disastrous tenure.  The article we reference can be found here.

We then talk about the horrific situation at Kentucky where a coach has been banned from coaching due to his vile behavior, and how this follows a terrible pattern of inaction by those most integral in protecting student-athletes.

Finally, we break down this weekend's games in College Football.
