Three College Football Coaches Face Job Loss Risks This Weekend

As the college football season approaches week 3, three coaches are already seen as being on the hot seat due to recent underperformance. Notably, Alabama's Coach DeBoer, in his second year, faces intense pressure after a 9-4 record last season and an opening loss to Florida State, with a costly buyout complicating a potential early firing. Florida's Coach Napier also struggles with a .500 record over four years and recent losses, raising doubts about his future. Meanwhile, South Florida's program is experiencing a remarkable turnaround under second-year head coach Alex Golesh, who has led the Bulls to a No. 18 ranking and hopes to contend for a conference championship and College Football Playoff berth. Golesh credits the program's revival to strong institutional support and a focus on culture and sustainability. Additionally, young coaches like Lock Haven's Battaglia are making strides, exemplifying a new generation of leadership amid the shifting college football landscape.
