Brian Kelly and Dabo Swinney should be fired if their jobs are truly about leading and protecting young men

If you look at Coastal Carolina’s season, it’s almost hard to believe that it was 2020.

It’s likely that it won’t become that much of a story, due to the fact that the Houston Texans suck, or that the NFL will almost certainly want it to go away, and that not much will come of it because of that.
