Kelce brothers college shenanigans and Alabama roster troubles

Buffalo Bulls face coaching search after Maurice Linguist's departure to Alabama. Brian Polian emerges as a potential candidate. Read more.

Good morning! Today, we have a special guest, Bruce Feldman from The Athletic, joining us to discuss the aftermath of Nick Saban's retirement. But before we dive into that, let's head over to Cincinnati, Ohio.

Start your day off with Justin Williams' fascinating recount of Jason and Travis Kelce's time at Cincinnati. It's a teammate tell-all that's definitely worth a read. Here are my top five favorite quotes from the article:

Now, let's get back to business. With Maurice Linguist leaving his position as head coach at Buffalo to join Alabama as a defensive assistant, college football insider Bruce Feldman has some insights on who the Bulls might pursue as their next head coach.

Buffalo was caught off guard by Saban's retirement, and Linguist's departure adds to the chaos. After a disappointing season, the Bulls are now faced with another coaching search. Finding success at Buffalo has always been a challenge, and the recruiting pool is limited. One potential candidate with strong ties to the area is Brian Polian, who has previous coaching experience and a deep connection to Buffalo.

Coaching hires often aim to take a different direction from the previous coach, especially after a period of struggle. In the case of Linguist, Buffalo went with a first-time head coach with no ties to the region. The irony in all of this is that Polian started his coaching career as a graduate assistant under Saban at Michigan State.

So, as we navigate through the aftermath of Saban's retirement and the ripple effects it has caused, it will be interesting to see who steps up to lead programs like Buffalo in the future.
