AFCA Executive Director Craig Bohl Joins THE STAMPEDE

Austin, Texas—College football’s most wide-ranging podcast on the Texas Longhorns added another heavy hitter this week. Craig Bohl, executive director of the American Football Coaches Association and former head coach at Wyoming and North Dakota State, sat down with hosts Mack Brown, Vince Young, and Bob Ballou for the latest episode of THE STAMPEDE.

The conversation zeroed in on the sport’s most pressing issues. Bohl tackled tampering head-on, outlined eligibility concerns, and forecast the structural changes he believes are inevitable. Central to his message: student-athletes must gain a permanent seat at the decision-making table if the game hopes to maintain competitive balance and academic integrity.

While Bohl provided the national view, Ballou pivoted to the Forty Acres. In his first media session since the Citrus Bowl, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian revealed how the program will handle quarterback Arch Manning’s recovery from off-season surgery, what early impressions five-star transfer wide receiver Cam Coleman has made since arriving on campus, and why this spring’s practice plan will differ from 2024’s approach.

Ballou also sifted through the NFL scouting combine invitations, highlighting one Longhorn who, in his estimation, deserved a call but did not receive one.
