Rodger Sherman returns for our offseason check in with the American Athletic Conference, along with Alex and Richard. The group discusses how things have been going since the end of the 2024 season for each team in the AAC:

  • UTSA finds reason for optimism

  • Rice gets a bit creative in the coach carousel

  • FAU makes a hire that Alex is pretty happy about

  • Tulsa hires a millennial from the FCS ranks

  • North Texas attempts to finally play a bit of defense, and also returns to the Cam Ward Quarterback Tree

  • Temple lands a proper ball coach to try a rebuild

  • ECU sticks with the interim coach after a solid finish

  • Charlotte also has a new head coach, but success at Charlotte might not hinge on who the 49ers hire

  • Tulane 2.0 under Jon Sumrall

  • UAB tries to patch a major wound with small bandages. (We’ll also excerpt from a recent subscriber show about the Blazers’ woes.)

  • Army loses its entire offense

  • Navy doesn’t

  • USF may actually, finally, at long last, be building a new stadium, but we’ll believe it when it’s fully constructed
