Welcome back to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB second baseman), this episode features Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham. Before Kenny joins, the guys break down Florida State's brutal 2024 season finale against Florida, the lack of fight they witnessed all year, and what it feels like to watch a program hit rock bottom after back-to-back magical seasons. They get real about the transfer portal era, NIL chaos, and why writing checks to Battle's End matters more than complaining on Twitter—before diving into their thoughts on coaching loyalty and what's broken in college football right now.

When Kenny hops on, the conversation turns into a masterclass in building culture and staying true to yourself. He shares his journey from FSU offensive coordinator to Auburn OC to becoming one of the youngest head coaches in the country at Arizona State—where he inherited just 38 scholarship players and transformed a 3-9 disaster into a Big 12 championship team in year two. Kenny opens up about the Lane Kiffin situation, why he turned down multiple job offers to stay loyal to his players, and what it really takes to lead young men through constant roster turnover. From that unforgettable Jordan scramble against Syracuse that changed everything in 2022 to why he doesn't even care about holding trophies, this episode is about authenticity, refusing to compromise your values, and remembering that helping people matters more than wins and losses.
