00:00What's been another standout for you, who could be another big name on the move as we

00:10move through the next couple of weeks?

00:12Yeah, the things that have really stood out for me, first off, there's this, you can go

00:18home again sort of concept, Rich Rodriguez, who became a national storyline in Morgantown,

00:26West Virginia, going back to West Virginia, 17-year hiatus, it's going to be interesting

00:32to see how he does.

00:33He just led Jacksonville State to a Conference USA Championship, so he still can coach.

00:41Interested dubs in Scott Frost, remember Scott Frost led UCF to a perfect season, went back

00:47to his alma mater, Nebraska, cratered, did horribly.

00:53He's now back in Orlando, so some interesting storylines there.

00:56How about UNLV's coach, Barry Odom, great job for two seasons.

01:11You see it more and more that programs, FBS programs are now dipping into the FCS.

01:18You're finding these coaches at smaller schools.

01:21Look at what Kurt Cignetti did at the FCS level, now he's in the playoffs with Indiana.

01:27Look at what Chris Kleiman did, FCS, now he's had success in the Big 12 with Kansas State,

01:35so there's a slew of coaches coming from schools dubs like Davidson and Butler and North Dakota

01:42State who I think could be very successful at the FBS level.

01:47Yeah, very excited to see that next step with a couple of new faces in new places there as well.
