Coaches discard pile, 2025
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?

Jonathan smith is done at msu. It may be a mutual parting (instead of a firing) where he “leaves” to go back to OSU and msu waives or reduces the buyout.

I've been wondering about him. They're arguably worse this year. But MSU has been a dumpster fire of scandals, probably the worst since Penn St.
Who can they get? What has to happen for him to survive another year? Aidan Chiles certainly hasn't helped him. At all.

Add the Other Wrong Stoops to the list of fired at season’s end.
