LSU Deep Dive: Kiffin Era, Coach O's Return & 2026 Season Preview

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2551569/fan_mail/new] We go full LSU — breaking down the biggest offseason in Tigers history. Lane Kiffin left Ole Miss mid-CFP run to take the job, assembled what 247Sports ranks as the #1 transfer portal class of all time, and added Ed Orgeron back to his staff as special assistant to recruiting and defense — the same Coach O who led LSU to a perfect 15-0 season and the 2019 national championship. We recap all 7 of LSU's 2026 NFL Draft picks, preview a brutal 2026 schedule, and close with a big announcement you won't want to miss.

The 2026 Washington Huskies: Demond Williams, A Historic Recruiting Class, and Year 3 of the Fisch Era | ft. Teren Kowatsch

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2551569/fan_mail/new] UW beat reporter Teren Kowatsch joins the show for a full 2026 Washington Huskies season preview. We get into everything: the Demond Williams Jr. saga — the $4M contract, the shock transfer announcement, the LSU rumors, and the reversal. We break down what the offense looks like without Denzel Boston (2nd round, Cleveland Browns) and what it means that Jedd Fisch is calling plays himself in Year 3. We look at the defense under Ryan Walters, the best recruiting class in program history, and a schedule that ends at Oregon with potential CFP implications. Is this the year Washington takes the leap?

Rodgers Is Back, Rice Is In Jail & Nashville Gets A Super Bowl

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2551569/fan_mail/new] It's a big news week and we're breaking all of it down. Aaron Rodgers is officially back in Pittsburgh on a one-year deal worth up to $25 million — reuniting with Mike McCarthy for the first time since Green Bay. We get into whether this is a genuine Super Bowl push or the Steelers just kicking the can down the road again. Then, Rashee Rice is heading to jail after violating his probation with a positive THC test — 30 days, out June 16, missing all of Chiefs OTAs and minicamp. We talk about what this means for Kansas City's 2026 outlook and when enough becomes enough. Jalen Hurts skipped AJ Brown's wedding. Brown's the godfather to his daughter. No current Eagles showed up. We dig into what's really going on in Philadelphia and whether the trade to New England is already a done deal. Plus — two massive announcements from the NFL Spring Meeting in Orlando: Nashville is officially hosting Super Bowl LXIV in 2030 at the brand new Nissan Stadium, and Minneapolis gets the 2028 NFL Draft. We break both down and ask the big question — will the Draft ever go back to New York? We close out with Madden 27 cover predictions and debate whether the curse is actually real. Debates this week: Are QBs today genuinely better or just playing in an easier era? Would you rather have a generational QB or a generational defense? Most overrated draft pick of all time.  Follow us @redzoneblitzpod on X, Instagram, and TikTok. Hit us at redzoneblitzpodcast@gmail.com.

The College Football Episode: Kiffin, Sark, GameDay & the Salary Cap Debate

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2551569/fan_mail/new] College football's offseason is undefeated — and G and KK are here for all of it. Lane Kiffin sat with Vanity Fair for 4 hours and torched Ole Miss on his way out. Then Sarkisian called their degrees "basket weaving." Then we found out Ole Miss's own Pete Golding once used Sarkisian's alcoholism to try to steal Arch Manning in a Zoom call — and Golding is now Ole Miss's head coach. The circle is complete. We also break down the GameDay slate — Kiffin's debut in Baton Rouge, Arch Manning's revenge game in Austin, and why Week 3 in Oxford might be unmissable television. Nick Saban wants a salary cap and we have thoughts. And we close it out with the history and rankings of college football's best helmet stickers. 📲 @redzoneblitzpod on X, Instagram & TikTok 📩 redzoneblitzpodcast@gmail.com Find us on social media: X: @redzoneblitzpod Instagram: @redzoneblitzpod TikTok: @redzoneblitzpod www.redzoneblitzpodcast.com redzoneblitzpodcast@gmail.com
