In this week’s episode of Run Ya Mouf, we break down a wild week in college football. First, we dive into the College Football Playoff picture—who’s in, who got snubbed, and which matchups are setting up to be instant classics. Then we turn to the breaking news out of Ann Arbor as Michigan parts ways with its head coach, unpacking what led to the firing, how it impacts the program, and what comes next for the Wolverines.

Closer to home, we shine a spotlight on the Arkansas High School State Championships, highlighting standout performances, championship moments, and what these games mean for the future of Arkansas football.

Tap in for sharp takes, real discussion, and that small-town energy you won’t get anywhere else.

1. High-Profile Power 5 Openings
   • LSU: Fired Brian Kelly; Frank Wilson is serving as interim head coach.
   • Florida: Billy Napier was let go; Billy Gonzales is reportedly interim.
   • Virginia Tech: Brent Pry was dismissed after a rough start; Philip Montgomery (OC) is now the interim head coach.
   • UCLA: DeShaun Foster has been replaced with Tim Skipper as interim head coach.
3. Group-of-Six & Mid-Major Opportunities
   • Oregon State: Highlighted by CBS as a top Group-of-Six opening.
   • Colorado State: Another Group-of-Six opportunity; previous coach Jay Norvell is out.
   • East Carolina: Fired its coach (Mike Houston), opening the door for a significant hire.
   • Florida Atlantic (FAU): Another program in transition, with Tom Herman out.
5. Challenging Hiring Environment
   • According to analysis by sources like Raised Revenues, some schools have financial or institutional constraints that could limit their candidate pool.
   • For example, UCLA’s financial structure may make it less attractive to top-tier coaches.
   • There’s concern (among analysts and fans) that there are more coaching jobs open than there are truly qualified, high-profile coaching candidates.
