Next Up with Adam Breneman

I traveled to Bloomington, Indiana to sit down with reigning national champion head coach Curt Cignetti and learn how he transformed the Hoosiers into the top program in college football. We discussed the standards, culture, and leadership principles that fueled Indiana’s rapid rise, why toughness remains at the core of everything he does, and the mentors who shaped his coaching philosophy. Cignetti also opened up about staying motivated after winning it all, the importance of hiring the right people, developing players the right way, and how the university, administration, and fan base rallied behind Indiana during its historic championship run.

Miami Football is back in the national spotlight, and Executive Director Dennis Smith has been one of the key people behind the scenes helping make it happen. I traveled to Coral Gables to sit down with Smith and get an inside look at what his day-to-day really looks like, how he’s navigating the rapidly changing world of NIL and revenue sharing, and what it takes to build a championship-caliber program in modern college football. We also discussed the impact Miami Football has on the community and why restoring the Hurricanes to national prominence means so much to the city. If you’ve ever wondered how elite programs operate behind the scenes, this conversation is for you.

I traveled to Miami to sit down with Mario Cristobal and learn how he's rebuilding one of college football's most iconic programs. Cristobal opened up about growing up in Miami, playing for the Hurricanes, and what it means to return home as head coach. He shared lessons from working under Nick Saban, the adversity that shaped him early in his coaching career, and how he bounced back from a difficult start at FIU. We also talked about his blueprint for building a championship roster, why the trenches are the foundation of every great team, and the culture he's creating inside the program. Miami believes it's back, and Cristobal is determined to bring a championship back to Coral Gables.

I sat down with legendary Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney for a candid conversation about the lessons that shaped his career and the mindset that still drives him today. We talked about his relentless work ethic, his time at Alabama, and the unexpected path that led him into coaching. Swinney also opened up about what keeps him motivated after building one of college football’s premier programs, why developing young men matters more than ever, and how he’s navigating the challenges of NIL and the transfer portal while staying true to the culture that made Clemson a national powerhouse. If you want to understand what has fueled Dabo’s success for decades, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
