The Scoop: Saturday live show

If you weren't able to stop by to see us, you can check out our live episode of The Scoop, which just wrapped up here at the South Philadelphia Tap Room.

ESPN's Kevin Negandhi led us off to talk about Temple's football coaching search, and MLB.com Phillies beat reporter Todd Zolecki stopped by on his way to his book signing at at the New Era Team Store at Citizens Bank Park to break things up with some Phillies talk.

Andy Carl, the director of the TUFF Fund collective, joined us, too, as did 97.5 The Fanatic's Ray Dunne and The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff Neiburg, both of whom helped us preview Saturday's Temple-La Salle Big 5 game.

OwlScoop has confirmed that Temple Athletic Director Arthur Johnson has interviewed Syracuse defensive coordinator and former Owls defensive line coach Elijah Robinson, Sam Houston State head coach K.C. Keeler and Marshall head coach Charles Huff as he draws closer to finding Stan Drayton's replacement, and Negandhi offered some very compelling reasons for his top choice.

Season 10, Episode 19: More on the football coaching search and more blunt honesty from Everett Withers

After a Philadelphia Business Journal story left some doubt about the future of Temple football, Temple President John Fry said the university wants to ‘honor and reinvigorate’ the program as it looks for its next head coach. We talked about where that search stands and if the Owls can close out the season with a win over North Texas.

 

And on his way out as Everett Withers enters his last game as Temple’s interim head coach, the longtime college football veteran did not hold back on his assessment of today’s game and what Temple must do to keep up with it.

 

“I hope this administration hears the need for finances to keep good players on this football team,” Withers said Monday during his weekly availability as Temple’s interim head coach.

 

You’ll hear audio from that interview and more about Temple basketball. Adam Fisher’s Owls will see familiar faces in Fran Dunphy and Jahlil White up at La Salle Saturday, with the winner moving on to play St. Joe’s for the Big 5 Classic championship.

 

We talked about all of that and much more in the mailbag on this week’s Thanksgiving edition of The Scoop.
