Coaches Film Room Returns with Limited Commercial Breaks
After making its first College Football Playoff Semifinals debut, the popular Coaches Film Room (ESPNEWS) returns to the CFP National Championship MegaCast. Mike Bobo (Colorado State), Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern) and Kevin Sumlin are among the coaches participating. Additional coaches will be added throughout the weekend. [Emphasis added.]
That should make for some interesting informed commentary in a number of ways.
Get The Picture 
Bobo was a guest on the latest episode of Punt and Pass, Aaron Murray and Drew Butler’s excellent podcast I highly recommend. He had some good insights. I never knew how thick his southern drawl was.

Hey…isn’t Southern spelled with a capital S? 😉

Maybe they could get Urban too, for once I would be pulling for Urban to go Woody Hayes on someone

I have to admit I enjoyed the little bit of that show I watched during the semi’s. Gary Patterson was the obvious patriarch at the table, but Bret Bielema cramming pizza in his mouth for 2 straight hours was still the highlight of the night.

I recorded it and watched it when I got back from Pasadena.
At first I thought Patterson was pretty sharp. Then I just decided he was a loudmouth know it all.
And as I looked at a bunch of 2nd/3rd tier coaches on the show the thought occurred to me that it is borderline criminal these guys get paid what they do.
I swear if you gave me 12 months to focus on it I could get up to speed and be a better football coach than half those guys.
Dana Holgerson? Really? Bert’s buyout was how much again?
It’s incredible

Howard needs to be the next casualty of Kirby’s process. Not kidding. We need a pro in the radio booth. He is far from being that.

Scott Howard has the toughest job in the world, hands down, and does a fair job at it.
Not only is he practicing an ancient and outdated art in a time when the actual game picture can be found in 5 seconds on a phone but also has to follow the greatest to ever do what he does, not just at UGA but anywhere. No one has ever or will ever paint the picture and be audience’s “guy” like Larry Munson. “The G.O.A.T.” gets thrown around a lot in reference to a lot of people but Larry Munson transcended generations of Georgia Bulldogs with a familiarity and reverence one typically holds for a grandfather.
Scott Howard certainly isn’t Larry but he does the best he can and pulls for the Dawgs just like us and that ain’t bad.

The best thing about Munson was that he didn’t TRY to entertain us. He was just himself and it was gold.

I don’t compare him to Munson, I just don’t think he’s very good.

I think Scott’s voice is fine, he’s a Homer, which is what you want out of your radio guy. He’s a DGD, he’s not Munson but who is? That last season or two even Munson needed to go.

I disagree, carry on.

I think Maria Taylor and Laura Rutledge are great (although Rutledge is a Gator). Both of them are easy on the eyes as well.

OT, does anyone know if they are going to give us a hard ticket when we go in the game?

I heard they will mail a souvenir ticket after the game. I bet that means if you got it from stub hub you won’t get the tickets.

The ESPN app has them all under the replay tab. I watched overtime last night from the command center viewing which was kind of cool.

I actually enjoyed the coaches film room replay. Interesting to see them break down what the different formations and motion are trying to accomplish. Couple of them called Sony’s Tod before he even turned the corner.
