The Herd with Colin Cowherd

Colin goes in depth with Fox Sports College Football Reporter Bruce Feldman about the troubling state of Pac-12 football and they try to explain why the conference is struggling so much to keep up with the Big Ten and SEC. They discuss "middle of the pack" schools like Michigan State being able to poach coaches and why USC has been unable to recreate the success of their past in this exclusive podcast.

In this episode, Middlekauff gives his thoughts on Mel Tucker jumping ship from Colorado to Michigan State, why it's just another example of the Pac-12 being a "Power 5" conference in name only, why he agrees with former Texans GM Rick Smith that NFL teams should be spending more resources developing draft prospects instead of just evaluating them, and why the dead cap hit for a vet QB like Matt Stafford - and other big names - will prevent teams from trading them. He also answers listener questions in Middlekauff's Mailbag. Follow John on twitter @JohnMiddlekauff and go to theherdnow.com to find the latest content. Subscribe now!

Colin explains why he prefers the way LeBron James is aging to the way Michael Jordan did. He thinks Tua Tagovailoa is clearly the best QB in the draft and explains why. He only sees one team that's a realistic landing spot for Tom Brady if he leaves the Patriots and it's not the team everyone thinks. Plus, former NFL DB and Super Bowl Champion Will Blackmon talks about the contract Dak Prescott deserves and why retirement should be a serious option for Tom Brady.
