(57:14-1:16:31) Looking back at pre-season predictions
(1:16:32-1:19:26) Conclusion; Toledo Kicker announcement

The Cowboys fired Mike McCarthy and of course Deion Sanders’ name has been thrown around for the opening. Should Colorado be worried? If Coach Prime got an NFL job, would it even be possible for him to wind up with the team that lands his son Shedeur? Or is this all a plot to drive YouTube numbers (for shows like ours; Coach Prime’s numbers are great as-is) and give the morning debate shows something to talk about?

Miami coach Mario Cristobal finally explained the second half of the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Monday. Had he said in his postgame press conference what he said Monday, it probably would have kept Cam Ward’s name from getting dragged for two weeks by people who don’t understand how football works.

Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are returning to Penn State, which is going to run for a lot of yards next season.

Finally, we revisit Andy’s 2024 season predictions from July to see just how badly he missed. Ari wasn’t working at On3 yet, so he’ll be spared this time. But all his 2025 predictions will be catalogued.

Plus, Carson Beck has decided to transfer to Miami. Are the Hurricanes a CFP contender again? Will Beck be better or worse than his last season at Georgia? Should an experienced college quarterback who isn’t a lock to be a first-round pick ever go pro if he has eligibility remaining?

It’s been far too long since the last Dear Andy/Dear Ari show, but today your questions get answered.

First, we’ve got to preview the Cotton Bowl between Texas and Ohio State one more time. Plus, we need to talk about the possibility of Iowa State coach Matt Campbell interviewing with the Bears.

Now it’s time for your questions, and the first one is a doozy…

Has a team ever won a national title in a season during which fans have screamed F@#$ you, [insert coach’s name here]?

In the 12-team College Football Playoff era, what are the criteria for a successful season?

What would represent success in Bill Belichick’s first season at North Carolina?
