Washington's New Era & Christian Caple's Independence

Spring has officially arrived, and with it, most college football programs have kicked off or are about to begin spring practice. As I’ve often said, spring ball is one of the most critical times for an athlete. This year it’s even more pivotal, with the second transfer portal window opening in late April, giving coaches a crucial opportunity to evaluate their rosters and address key needs.For the Washington Huskies, this spring marks a significant phase in Jedd Fisch’s 2nd year at the helm.

How a Coaching Sabbatical Shaped Arizona State's Marcus Arroyo

The Power of a Coaching SabbaticalYears ago, I learned that Nike offered sabbaticals to employees after 10 years of service. It made perfect sense - stepping away allowed them to recharge, gain new perspectives, and pour into their families. In the coaching profession, I’ve always believed sabbaticals should be the norm. Every coach I’ve met who has taken a year off, whether by choice or due to job circumstances, has experienced tremendous growth.Pete Carroll famously reinvented his coaching phi

Chess Moves: Max Brosmer’s Journey from 2-Star Recruit to NFL Prospect

To believe in oneself is a powerful thought.We've seen it drive elite athletes for centuries.It's been the foundation of one of the most successful shows in recent history, Ted Lasso. And for over 25 years, I’ve heard quarterbacks use that word - belief - time and time again.At my core, I trust that the best coaches, players, and performers must face moments of adversity. Hundreds of them. They must stare it in the eye, welcome it, and compete through it. We all have our own moments to referenc

Todd Blackledge on the Evolution of College Football & Storytelling in the Booth

If you love college football, you know the voice of Todd Blackledge - today’s guest on the Y-Option podcast, presented by our founding partner, 76.Growing up in Pennsylvania, a few things were constant: Friday night high school football, postgame pizza with the team, and Saturday afternoons in front of the TV watching college football.

Rollin' with the Tide - Kalen DeBoer

Hello from Tuscaloosa!Well, not today - but that’s where I recently sat down with Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer inside the Crimson Tide football facility.I’ve known Coach DeBoer since his days at Fresno State.

Mark Sanchez - Quarterback Options

I met Mark Sanchez in the fall of 2005. It was my first season at USC and our team was regarded as the best in the history of the game. Mark was a rising star in Southern California as a freshman quarterback with a rocket arm and an infectious personality. I was a 22-year-old transplant from Pennsylvania who fell in love with the Pacific, the USC football vibe and everything LA had to offer.As a young coach you are often seeking to find your way, and that way is usually through the lens of those

Dillon Gabriel - Finding "It"

Years ago, I was on the Elite 11 quarterback camp tour and kept hearing coaches talking about QBs having the “It Factor.” It was as though everywhere I turned that phrase was being thrown around. As time would pass, it felt as though that became the most overused and undefinable phrase in football. So in the summer of 2016, a few of us set out to truly understand what it meant to have the It Factor and I would direct the film titled The It Factory.We canvassed the nation, asking premiere coaches

I feel like the luckiest broadcaster in college football. Every Saturday I get to stand at the 50-yard line and celebrate the greatest game on earth and attempt to coach the viewer.

Pete Carroll changed my life.I can vividly recall calling a few of my teammates at Pitt during my first week on the job as a member of the USC Football staff in the winter of 2005. “Guys, I wish you could have been coached by Pete Carroll and this staff. It’s incredible!”My former teammates would often ask why and while I couldn't nail the answer, I could compete to explain the energy, optimism and education he shared every day.From the moment I met him at 19-years-old to now, there has not been

Dual Threat - Duce Robinson

There is an on-going conversation around being a multi-sport athlete versus being singularly focused. Being the parent of a 9-year-old, I see these things becoming more and more of a discussion. Sport specific, playing one sport year round, paying thousands of dollars on private coaches or club teams and more. It’s a hard lane to navigate as a parent and even harder as an athlete. This is a topic we are extremely passionate about at Y-Option. Go multi-sport or focus on football, perhaps with a p

Khalil Tate - Out the Gate

Football can change your life.I’ve shared this story a few times but it’s worth repeating. Years ago, I was in Northern California visiting San Jose State and Stanford. I was expected to fly home after practice on a Wednesday but was convinced by both Brent Brennan and Mike Bloomgren to stay in NorCal for one more night. I obliged and had a blast.The next day I walked onto a Delta flight and met the love of my life, my now-wife Amy.I often think about that and am reminded how falling in love wit

"Patiently Impatient" - ESPN Analyst Dan Orlovsky

“Patiently impatient.”That’s my new favorite phrase when it comes to being a backup QB, or really anything where you may not be in the position you desire.This past summer I sat down with former college and NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky. Myself and Elite 11 head coach Jake Heaps had a conversation with the former UConn star around the QB position which centered around the concept of Chasing What Matters. I’ve spent years seeking the red thread that connects elite leaders to elite organizations to

Devil in the Details: Arizona State AD Graham Rossini

There is something special about coming home. For the recently hired Arizona State Athletics Director, Graham Rossini, home has always been the ASU community. Last training camp I found myself at Camp Tontozona, or as Sun Devil fans called it Camp T. On the sideline was a tall, sharply dressed man in an ASU polo. I’d always known of Graham, but had yet to spend real time with him. Before practice began we spent 20 minutes together and just talked about life, the Pac-12, West Coast football and m

Jake Heaps: Chase What Matters

“The only thing that is guaranteed in college is that your career will NOT go exactly as you imagined.”A year ago, the legendary coach, Chris Petersen shared that line with the best high school quarterbacks in the nation at the Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles and I watched it land like a Simone Biles gold medal routine.As I criss-cross the nation and watch QBs like Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel, Penn State’s Drew Allar and today, Will Howard at Ohio State compete in training camp, I keep thinking about

Brent Brennan: Creating Culture through Connection

From 2011 to 2016 I would often find myself in Corvallis, Oregon. I’d fall in love with the fall foliage, the beautiful dimes from Sean Mannion, the crisp routes by Brandin Cooks and the production meetings with Mike Riley. But above all of that, what I enjoyed the most were Friday afternoons.Post meetings and post practice I would find myself alongside one of the most positive, optimistic and talented coaches in the nation and for an hour we would run the campus while talking about life, coachi

Jerrod Johnson - Building Relationships for a Lifetime

Jerrod Johnson and I met in 2009. I was working for Fox College Sports and broadcasting Big-12 games each week. He was the starting quarterback at Texas A&M. To make you smirk, that season the Big-12 had two divisions, the North and South. The respective champion of each division was Nebraska and Texas. Missouri and Colorado were in the league and that conference only had 12 teams, how about that!?And if you forgot, future SEC team Texas won the 2009 Big-12 title 13-12 over future B1G squad Neb

Leader of the Ute Movement

Mark Harlan is impacting college sports at an elite level. As the athletics director at Utah, he has also served in the Football Oversight Committee and has been in the room during CFP deliberations. To say he ‘gets it’ is a true understatement.Often times, college sports are seen as a business and I get it, it is HUGE business.But more often than not, the ones who are leading athletic departments and serving the sports and athletes we love began on that career path because they too, loved ball.

Miller Moss' Time to Shine

In my time working on the USC staff, one thing became clear – when a quarterback signs his letter of intent at USC he becomes a household name. When he starts, he becomes a Heisman Candidate. Calling games for the past 17 seasons has only proven that theory I learned while on Pete Carroll’s staff. And for Miller Moss, that’s also true. While many factors go into winning the Heisman, I believe that the future for Miller Moss is extremely bright as he has a brilliant mind, can quickly and efficien
