The Tennessee Volunteers will have a new quarterback for the 2026 season. Joey Aguilar lost his chance for another year of eligibility, so the focus now shifts to the highly touted recruit. The battle will be between redshirt freshman George McIntyre and incoming freshman Faison Brandon. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss what the Vols’ quarterback position might look like in 2026. They also delve into the evolution of quarterback development in college football. What was once a recruiting and development process appears to have shifted toward grabbing quarterbacks from the transfer portal, but how long will this trend be successful? Is the team starting to refocus on recruiting young talent?

The guys then delve into some news that could lead to big changes to the college football schedule. Army head coach Jeff Monken said they may be willing to move the Army-Navy game to Thanksgiving weekend. That’s one of the big conundrums people are trying to solve as they consider how to rearrange the college football schedule. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss the impact of this proposal, how it will work and what it will bring to college football.
Later, the staff discussed how a recent college football awards banquet turned into a comedy club. The other night, Mario Cristobal and Kirby Smart took the stage at the Steve Spurrier Awards dinner. A dinner honoring various coaches and players turned into more like a barbecue when Kirby Smart and Mario Cristobal started teasing each other onstage. This sparked a debate among Andy, Ross and Godfrey about who is the funniest coach in college football.
