2025-11-1944 minPhantom IslandHow coaches actually think about potential new jobsJobs open every college football season, and, when they do, they are immediately sorted and ranked.

Though, as you'll learn, not zero friction. This leads Steven Godfrey to ask: Are the Mariners the easiest team to bandwagon?

2025-08-141h 19Phantom IslandHow did Steven Godfrey pick one of the messiest La Liga teams to support?This episode of Phantom Island is a little different. Rather than look at a question about the sports world, Steven Godfrey brings a subject that's much more personal to co-host Ryan Nanni.

2025-08-0945 minPhantom IslandDo new athletic directors still spell doom for football coaches?Here's how the narrative used to work in college football: when a coach struggling to win found himself working for a new athletic director, his chances of getting fired went up significantly. The AD, the all-powerful head of a college's sports programs, simply wouldn't owe any loyalty to an underachiever they hadn't hired.So Ryan Nanni looked at the last four years of coach firings, compared them to a four year stretch from a decade earlier, and took the results to Steven Godfrey.
