Year One Debrief: Joey McGuire & Texas Tech Football

Ty and Dan talk with Andy Bitter of TechSideline.com about Brent Pry's first season as head coach of the Virginia Tech Hokies. After a mediocre 3-8 campaign, how close is Pry to retooling the roster and taking a step forward with the offense? What was the state of affairs after the Justin Fuente era in Blacksburg? How patient are Virginia Tech fans after nearly 30 years of sustained success under Frank Beamer?

Ty and Dan are joined by Eddie Radosevich from SoonerScoop.com to grade how Brent Venables did in his first season as head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners. What exactly was the problem with the defense? What's the general direction of the offense? How has Venables adapted to being The Guy after decades as an assistant? Plus, a dramatic retelling of the frenetic days that saw Lincoln Riley bolt for USC and the reverberations throughout the Sooner fan base.

Ty and Dan invite Jordy Culotta from The Jordy Culotta Show on the pod to grade out Brian Kelly's first year with the LSU Tigers. What was the reaction to the infamous fake accent? How did Kelly reorganize the team and culture? How does Kelly's recruiting pitch differ from Ed Orgeron's? What are reasonable expectations for 2023 and beyond?
