A few big-name head coaches in college football like Brian Kelly, Billy Napier and James Franklin have already been fired. Why is that? We discuss:
College football coaches being fired midseason is nothing new. Just last season, former Michigan staffers Don Brown and Biff Poggi were both fired midseason by UMass and Charlotte, respectively. However, unless you've been living under a rock, you've likely noticed head coaches are being fired en masse this season at huge, blue-blood programs. Brian Kelly at LSU, Billy Napier at Florida, and James Franklin at Penn State are the first ones to go, with a few other names potentially on the chopping block for later in the year.
