In this episode, John McMahon and John Kaplan introduce their
guest, Scot Loeffler, who has remarkably transformed the football
program at Bowling Green State University (BGSU). John Kaplan
shares his enthusiasm for Scot's drastic improvements in the BGSU

arrival. Through candid discussions, Scot outlines the challenges
and strategies of rebuilding a struggling team, emphasizing the
importance of hiring the right staff, instilling a solid culture,
and focusing on daily championship habits. Scot credits his
success to lessons learned from legendary coaches like Lloyd
Carr, Urban Meyer, and Frank Beamer, and the inherent traits of
resilience and relentless preparation observed in players like
Tom Brady and Tim Tebow. The conversation delves into the
