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. Is this trope still real? Has it changed over time, and what do those...
2025-08-0656 minPhantom IslandCan we accept head coaches who aren't workaholics?Hugh Freeze has spent this summer 1) losing a decent number of Auburn recruits to other schools and 2) playing a lot of publicly-recorded golf. These two facts have combined to create some stress for Freeze, which Steven Godfrey and Ryan Nanni use to unpack the myth of the grindbro head coach, the future of our expectations from this job, and why Tulsa's embracing the links skills of their coach. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
2025-07-2345 minPhantom IslandWhat are the US Olympic Flag Football teams going to look like?Men's and women's flag football will be part of the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, and the NFL announced earlier this year that they're open to letting pro players participate.

2025-07-071h 55Phantom IslandNumbers & Words - A Multisport Survey of Thibodeaus with Neil Paine - PREVIEWThe New York Knicks came two wins away from playing in the 2025 NBA Finals, but they still made the somewhat surprising decision to can the coach who'd helped turn the franchise around, Tom Thibodeau. Host Ryan Nanni brings on Neil Paine, writer for ESPN, NASCAR, and his own Substack, to look at what the numbers say about teams that have bailed on successful coaches in hopes of improving their fortunes even further. Why does this move work better in some sports, and will we see impatient college football teams try this tactic in the near future? Neil also helps...
2025-07-0416 minPhantom IslandDoes a college sport need nationwide interest to succeed?The map of college hockey champions and teams that claim titles in baseball and softball don't overlap very much, and that gives Steven some questions to bring to Ryan. Does the regional nature of these sports put a limit on their potential success? Should we live in a world with more Arizona States starting hockey teams? And will the traditional Big Ten teams ever take baseball seriously again? Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
2025-07-0251 minPhantom IslandWhy does the NHL recycle so many coaches?If you can get a head coaching job in the National Hockey League, there's a decent chance you'll have a shot at a second, third, and maybe even a fourth somewhere down the line. This isn't quite as true in the NFL, NBA, or Major League Baseball, so Steven and Ryan discuss their own theories for what makes retreads more prominent in hockey before asking an actual expert, ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, for his insight into this phenomenon. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
2025-06-251h 01Phantom IslandWhere have you gone, expansion franchises?As two children of the 1990s, our hosts have an obligation to remember the teal-tinged days when the Charlotte Hornets, Carolina Panthers, and Florida Marlins first came into being. But this episode isn't just about Remembering Some Franchises. Steven and Ryan review the history of expansion in the four major men's sports in the US, put hockey to one side, and then ask where, when, and if we'll see new teams in the NFL, NBA, and Major League Baseball. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield Apparel and produced by Michael Surber.

2025-06-1155 minPhantom IslandWhat does a successful spring football league look like?Year 2 of the UFL – the merger of the USFL and the second edition of the XFL – has resulted in mixed TV ratings, shuffled coaching staffs, and less of The Rock. What does the UFL need to do in order to succeed, and how can they learn from past attempts at spring leagues? Steven and Ryan consult Justis Mosqueda, who worked with the XFL on player evaluation and roster management during the league's 2020 launch, to find spring wisdom. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield Apparel and produced by Michael Surber.

Phantom IslandWhy do some WNBA rookies get cut almost immediately?In most professional leagues, rookies are prized possessions that can help teams effectively manage the salary cap, develop talent for the future, and show their superiority in scouting. So why do some women's basketball players get picked in the top 20 and wind up washing out before their first season even begins? This is the question that Ryan brings to Godfrey on this episode, with a special appearance from Marisa Ingemi of the San Francisco Chronicle to bring some actual expertise to the discussion. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield Apparel and produced by Michael Surber.

Phantom IslandAre outgoing coaches really a distraction?Early in the 2025 NCAA men's basketball tournament, Will Wade was connected with the open job at NC State. Critics complained this distraction was unfair to Wade's players at McNeese State – and then they beat five-seed Clemson. Steven and Ryan discuss the grudges still held against Wade, how the NFL restricts hiring during the playoffs, and evolving notions of etiquette. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield Apparel and produced by Michael Surber.

Phantom IslandIs LIV Golf a success or a failure?In 2022, a new competitor to the PGA emerged: LIV. Three years, many hundreds of millions of dollars, and a lot of bitter golf feelings later, has the alternative league succeeded as an entertainment product, a revolutionary force in the sport, or a sportswashing enterprise? Ryan presents these questions to Steven on the first episode of Phantom Island, presented by Homefield Apparel and produced by Michael Surber.
