    Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!

    On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) flew solo like a cup once again with Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) in the Bay Area covering the Super Bowl.

    Buhler attempted to keep this thing on the rails for as long as he could...

    He touched on Gus Malzahn retiring from the coaching profession, with Mike Norvell now being the one to call plays at Florida State.

    After being inspired by a few things Will Stein said to Andy & Ari On3, Buhler looked at Brad Crawford's way-too-early CFP bracket for 2026-27.

    He had thoughts on all of that, as well as what new NFL head coaches would be fun to play for coming out of college.

    Make sure you remember the Super Bowl is happening this weekend because this is False Start!

    Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!

    If you are #OpenToWork, what else are you open to?

    On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) prepared for Super Bowl 60.

    While Cody will be on the ground in Santa Clara, Buhler will be holding down the fort for the foreseeable future.

    Before Cody gets frisky in Frisco, the guys respected Fernando Mendoza's LinkedIn game, compared all 32 NFL teams to college football ones, and then, things got off the rails just a little bit...

    The guys proudly inducted a magnificent seven men into the False Start Hall of Fame, including one guy Buhler had no idea made the cut.

    After that, they did some Guys Remembering Coaches where they finished with a childhood hero of theirs from youth sports.

    For those of us who go pro in something other than sports, it's gotta be False Start!
