Coaches who embarrass themselves are the theme of Off the Hook Sports’ Friday, Feb. 23 podcast, as Caleb Calhoun and Dave Hooker call out Nick Saban and Shane Beamer. The Tennessee Vols’ personnel, the EA Sports college football video game, UT Basketball and Caitlin Clark all made their way onto the show as well. Ron Slay joins.
Important Tennessee Vols not named Nico Iamaleava
Given the fact that he will be the starting quarterback for the Tennessee Vols football team next year, Nico Iamaleava is obviously the most important player. However, who will be the second most important player? Is there anybody UT can’t win without if he’s not great, in similar fashion to Iamaleava?
Should Tennessee Vols have opted out of EA Sports game?
Every FBS team will be in the upcoming EA Sports college football video game, and every player will receive $600. However, should the Tennessee Vols have been trendsetters and opted out of the game unless they received more money? Is it fair that they take home the same pay as irrelevant schools and players?
Shane Beamer clout-chases
South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer reached out to Plies Thursday after the rapper reached out to the school’s men’s and women’s basketball programs about recruiting and used an extremely corny phrase in the process. Is he cornier than even Missouri Tigers head coach Eli Drinkwitz?
Nick Saban comments on college football
Former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban discussed his new role in retirement and talked about trying to improve the game of college football in general. He lamented that it’s not as much about education anymore and too much about money, but is he a hypocrite for making that case?
Could Caitlin Clark start on all-time Lady Vols team?
Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball guard Caitlin Clark is arguably the biggest star in the history of the sport. However, would she be able to even crack the starting five of an all-time Tennessee Lady Volunteers team? Is she even better than five players who just starred under Pat Summitt? Slay joins to discuss.
Basketball Vols begin gauntlet
On Saturday, the Tennessee Vols men’s basketball team will host the Texas A&M Aggies, a revenge game. Then they have four straight games against ranked opponents to close out the regular season. What is their situation at the moment? Could they win the SEC and get a No. 1 seed? Slay remains on to talk about them.
