The next Alabama head coach will be expected to win a National Title within three years.

Your job at Alabama is to win the national title every year... The Alabama fan base will not be patient. But I think the administration given like if, if the the person is making reasonable progress toward national titles... the administration's probably gonna be fine with that. But the fan base will be raising holy hell if they're not winning national titles in three years.

Kalen DeBoer was hired; we will see if he wins a title by the end of the 2026-27 season.

Pete Carroll has an argument for being a top 10 football coach of all time

Pete Carroll has an argument for being a top 10 football coach of all time. He's 14th all time in NFL wins. He's got two national titles in college football. If you put it all together, Pete Carroll has an argument for being a top 10 football coach of all time.

Subjective all-time ranking.

I would rather the Patriots hire Mike Vrabel than Jerod Mayo to replace Bill Belichick

I would rather Vrabel... He's a recurring guest, friend of the program. He's proven it. Super Bowl champion. Obviously Mayo is too, but I would rather Vrabel just [because of his] proximity to the show.

The Patriots hired Jerod Mayo on January 12, 2024, the day this episode aired, making Hank's preference obsolete.

Bill Belichick might have wanted to leave the Patriots to find a team with a roster ready to win now.

I think that there's a chance he did wanna leave. I think that he might be at a point where he doesn't want to do a rebuilding coaching team and he wants to go to a, a place that has guys. I think that like, if the Cowboys are on the table... he may be willing to go to a give that up for a team. A team that could win now.

The true motives of Belichick and Kraft remain private, making this an unconfirmable opinion.

Boise State can win the Pac-12 and make the playoff

If Boise State can do that in Eugene, they can probably beat Memphis this week. They can probably beat Western Michigan. They can probably win the Pac-12.

Boise State's 2026 conference and playoff outcomes have not yet been resolved.

LSU is Andy's projected No. 1 playoff seed

LSU looked like one of the best teams in the country. I'd let that projected playoff again—because I'm taking the preseason stuff out of it—I put them as the one seed. Now are they gonna stay there? Probably not. But why not? Let's ride, let's ride the expectations.

LSU's 2026 playoff seeding and championship path remain unresolved.

Clemson could finish 6-6 or 7-5

Clemson is probably more talented than most of the teams left on their schedule. But I don't know if they're gonna be better than seven and five or six and six. If they look like that, if that's what they're gonna roll out there, they're gonna lose more games.

Clemson's 2026 final record is not yet resolved.
