Alex Kirshner, Richard Johnson, and Dave Campbell’s Texas Football senior writer Mike Craven discuss the state of the offseason in Conference USA, a league that was spicier than most of us expected in 2024:
Jacksonville State loses the braintrust behind a conference championship and will now be completely different
WKU’s run as the cradle of coordinators continues
FIU tries an ultra-Floridian approach
Sam Houston restarts with Phil Longo, who has school ties
Kennesaw State is just trying to be in less disarray
Liberty overhauls in the portal as it looks to bounce back
UTEP is quietly building something intriguing under Scotty Walden
Middle Tennessee emerges from a Year Zero
New Mexico State deals with broader athletic department turmoil
Louisiana Tech continues to ride it out
And the league soon adds a couple of new members, Delaware and Missouri State. We’ll get to them in season previews. It’s not time yet.
Meet the Offseason Vibe Check: It's not a 2024 recap, and it's not a 2025 preview. It's a check-in with every team in every FBS conference about what's been happening since Thanksgiving. How was the postseason? How was the coach carousel? How was signing day? How was the transfer portal window? And is anything else going on around your program?
Producer: Anthony Vito
