On Texas Football

Coffee & Football goes live from SEC Media Days as Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton set the stage for the start of talking season’s final stretch, with Blake Munroe checking in from the Texas High School Coaches Convention. The crew breaks down Steve Sarkisian’s latest comments on Jermaine Bishop Jr., Laurence Seymour, Texas’ roster age, five-for-five eligibility, and why the Longhorns need the offensive line to gel quickly before a demanding 2026 schedule.

 

The show also features former Texas defensive coordinator and national championship-winning head coach Gene Chizik, who shares his thoughts on Sark’s program, Will Muschamp’s defensive style, Colin Simmons, the SEC grind, and why he’s picking Georgia to win the league. Plus, the guys discuss Cole Hutson’s eligibility situation, SEC coaches on the hot seat, key injury concerns across the conference, and why the Texas-Ohio State opener could immediately shape the playoff race.

On this edition of On Texas Football’s Sideline Debate, Jeff Howe is joined by CJ Vogel, Hank South, Jordan Scruggs, Rod Babers, and Jerry Hamilton to make their picks for the 2026 SEC champion and debate how many SEC teams will make the College Football Playoff. Georgia remains the popular pick among the panel, but Hank makes the case for Texas finally breaking through behind Arch Manning, Will Muschamp’s defense, and what could be the Longhorns’ best roster since 2005.

The crew also breaks down the playoff paths for Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama, Ole Miss, Florida, and Texas A&M, including why early non-conference games could make or break the SEC race. From Georgia’s schedule advantage to Texas’ brutal road, Oklahoma’s defensive formula, Florida’s sleeper potential, and why nobody on the panel is buying A&M as a playoff team, this episode delivers a full SEC title and playoff forecast heading into 2026.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Hank South, and CJ Vogel break down the breaking news that former Texas offensive lineman Cole Hutson has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA seeking an additional year of eligibility. The crew explains what the filing means, why Hutson could potentially return to the Longhorns in 2026, and how his 40-plus games of experience would immediately add depth, leadership, and competition to Texas’ offensive line room.

The conversation also dives into where Hutson could fit if he is cleared, including possible competition at left guard and center, and why his return would be “found money” for Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood. Plus, the guys discuss how this could impact the offensive line rotation, what it means for younger players like Jackson Christian, and why adding another experienced blocker before fall camp would be a major win for Texas.

Jeff Howe, Rod Babers, and Jordan Scruggs break down the latest Texas team notes surrounding two recent five-star signees: Jermaine Bishop Jr. and Michael Terry III. The crew discusses Bishop getting work on both sides of the ball at wide receiver and defensive back, how realistic it is for him to become a true two-way player, and why his elite playmaking ability may ultimately make offense his clearest path to early impact.

The conversation also dives into Michael Terry’s evolving role after bulking up to the 230-pound range and working as a running back. Rod and Jordan explore how Texas could use Terry as a versatile offensive weapon, from short-yardage and goal-line packages to a potential third-down role because of his receiving background, size, and pass-protection upside.

Rod Babers and Gerry Hamilton react to five-star wide receiver Monshun Sales choosing Indiana over Texas and break down why the Longhorns are not expected to completely walk away from the recruitment. The guys discuss Texas’ “recruit to the whistle” approach, whether the staff will pivot to another high school receiver, the ongoing battle to keep Easton Royal in the class, and how the 2027 wide receiver board could still shift before signing day.

The show also dives into key Texas roster storylines, including Nick Townsend’s development at tight end, the latest “Top 40” player rankings, why Ian Geffrard could be a major portal addition on the defensive line, and how Arch Manning’s legs should factor into Steve Sarkisian’s offense. Plus, Gerry shares basketball recruiting notes on Beckham Black’s upcoming official visit and Marcus Spears Jr.’s early work inside the Texas program.
