Was the 2016-17 coaching cycle one of the best of the decade? (04/14)

The Cover 3 crew reviews the carousel that saw Oklahoma, LSU and Texas choose new coaches. First, reaction to Eddie George's hire at Tennessee State, including how his fit in Nashville gives both coach and program a chance to succeed (2:00) and some in-show breaking news regarding the NCAA and the transfer portal (19:00). Then it's on to reviewing the coaching carousel of 2016-17, highlighting the fact that more than half of the hires are not only still at the same job but many have been home run hires (23:30). Plus, of the Group of Five hires from that cycle who is the next coach to make the move to Power Five (36:00) and beyond the obvious Big 12 titles and College Football Playoff appearances how do we look at Lincoln Riley's time at Oklahoma (44:00).
