Part 10/12:
The LSU vacancy is part of a larger upheaval in college football’s coaching landscape. With other major programs like Penn State, Florida, and UCLA also seeking new leadership, the market is flooded with openings. The recent firing of Florida’s Billy Napier (or his departure) and Penn State’s James Franklin’s potential exit are further signs of the widespread transition.
This frantic cycle of hiring and firing underscores the pressures coaches face to deliver immediate results. It also highlights the significant value universities place on winning championships, particularly in high-profile programs like LSU.
