College football royalty, the University of Alabama, and college football paupers, UTEP and Indiana amongst them, are welcoming in brand-new, first-year head coaches for the 2024 season that rests a scant three weeks from full-scale opening.
Who is best-positioned among those coaches to have an immediate impact, the type of turnaround we've seen Lance Leipold engineer at Kansas? The type of attention, talent elevation and more wins that Deion Sanders, aka Coach Prime, has brought to the Colorado Buffaloes
Team FootballScoop weighs in this week as the crew continues to prime readers for the upcoming season with both the written and spoken word.
This FootballScoop Podcast tackles the coaches that Zach Barnett, Scott Roussel, Doug Samuels and John Brice believe are set to turn heads with their work turning around programs this fall.
Kalen DeBoer at Alabama already has worked wonders at his previous stops, Fresno State and Washington. But Alabama and following the iconic Nick Saban is a different story.
Can Jeff Lebby help steady, stabilize and push forward Mississippi State?
Does Curt Cignetti's swagger yield wins at Indiana?
Does proven program-builder Willie Fritz again find great success coaching college football in the state of Texas?
And elsewhere in the Lone Star State, does Scotty Walden continue his rapid ascent while also elevating the Miners?
All these questions and more are answered in the latest FootballScoop podcast.
As a reminder, the FootballScoop podcast is available on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, iHeart and....well you'll find it.
