Has there been a year when more P4 coaches were fired by mid-season?

-Mike Gundy, Okie St

-James Franklin, PSU

-Billy Napier, Florida

-DeShaun Foster, UCLA

-Sam Pittman, Arkansas

-Brent Pry, VTech

How many more are next?

Likely in the next week or two:

-Luke Fickell, Wisconsin

-Mike Norvell, FSU

Probable by season's end

-Hugh Freeze, Auburn

-Brian Kelly, LSU

Under the radar probable firings:

This seems like a lot, but I don't have the stats. How unusual is this level of turnover?

I'm also intrigued by the number of programs who want better, but who on a list of potentially available coaches that can fill all these vacancies while also being an unequivocal upgrade? The pool of elite coaches who'd want to move seems way too shallow relative to these firings, no?

What I’m getting from this round of firings and retentions (Wisconsin, FSU) is that ADs and their staffs are in over their heads when negotiating contracts.

Time to take this thread to the Tug.

That was another Wilner guy I believe too
