Mailbag: Coaching Carousel keeps spinning! Power 4 of Power 2? Outlook for Penn State, LSU in new-look CFB, more! (02/01)

The Cover 3 crew talks Jeff Hafley, Big 12, Penn State, LSU, Florida and more. First, hours after declaring the 2023-24 coaching carousel to be completed we were caught off guard by Boston College coach Jeff Hafley leaving the Eagles to take a new job as the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator (1:20). The crew discusses how Hafley's move might align with the changing nature of college coaching, as well as names that might make sense as the the next Boston College coach. Then it's on to questions from the Big Ol' Bag of Mail focusing on the idea of Power 2 vs. Power 4 (23:00), whether the Big 12 should rebrand with its new lineup (27:50) and players from CFB history who weren't great but were beloved (32:00). Plus, what does Penn State need to do in order to be considered a top-tier team (39:00), LSU's place in the new-look SEC (46:40) and the two-year outlook for Billy Napier at Florida (52:10).
