PODCAST AIN’T PLAYED NOBODY: Knee-jerk hire reactions and another Big Dumb Idea

Listen, we know you’ve probably got some holiday driving to do, and we know you don’t actually want to listen to the radio or, like, have conversations in the car. So we’ve got you covered. We went extra long on this week’s PAPN, just for you. Some of the topics:

  • Bowl prep and the Vegas Bowl
  • BYU and cutting corners
  • HBCUs and goals
  • Promotion, relegation, and (this week’s Big Dumb Idea) a 64-team AAC
  • QB injuries/suspension: the scourge of advanced stats
  • Jim McElwain vs. Will Muschamp
  • Knee-jerk coaching hire reactions
  • Jeff Driskel’s Redemption
  • This week’s bowls
  • The Sadness Bracket™
  • Nothing nice about Iowa

Be sure not to miss Chuckie Keeton’s retirement party tomorrow afternoon! There’s a snack sign-up in the break room.
