Off The Bench

In hour two of OTB, we talk about Austin Thomas heading back to Ole Miss after Lane Kiffin decided not to retain him at LSU. We discuss other coaches and players being traded between LSU and Ole Miss, and pose the question: what exactly does a general manager do in college football? We also hit OTB Mailbag and talk a little NFL to round out the hour. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We kick off hour three with Nick Underhill to talk about the Saints and the direction of the franchise with Kellen Moore and Tyler Shough at the helm. We dive into draft position, what the Saints need to focus on in the draft, and debate whether taking a running back in the first round is ever the right move. We’re also joined by Devin Snow to talk more Saints—and somehow end up discussing John Cena’s retirement from the WWE.
