The SEC is loaded with talent, but every contender has real questions to answer before they can make a run. Plus, Oklahoma’s future feels shakier than ever as they prepare for AD Joe Castiglione’s retirement.

Joe and RT discuss what questions they would ask individual coaches at SEC Media Days, which starts next week in Atlanta. Some quality barbs about Hugh Freeze’s golf game, Kirby Smart’s motivational tactics, Steve Sarkisian’s quarterbacks, and Brent Venables’ hold on his job follow from the interrogatives.

The two then get into a discussion on SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, who you can expect to provide plenty of pro-SEC propaganda from his bully pulpit.

They finish with a look at Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione announcing his retirement and what that could mean for Venables’ future in Norman.
