Andy and Godfrey discuss the on-going drama at Ole Miss and if they expect all of the assistant coaches to continue coaching through the CFP. Will some of them just stay recruiting with Lane Kiffin at LSU rather than going back to Ole Miss? The guys discuss how, although Ole Miss is a unique situation, the concept of CFP coaches pulling double-duty between game prep and recruiting is consistent across all four playoff teams. Plus, Andy and Godfrey take a look at the SEC's poor performance in the postseason. They discuss if the depth in the league is overrated and how the conference should be viewed going forward.Later, the guys take a look at Tulsa's innovative approach to transfer portal recruiting.
