College football coaching carousel accelerates with multiple firings

As of October 25, 2026, college football's coaching carousel sees significant activity, with Baylor firing Dave Aranda and NC State parting ways with Dave Doeren. This trend has left three of the four Power Four conferences in need of new head coaches. Deion Sanders' position at Colorado is under scrutiny following a heavy defeat against Oklahoma State, bringing into question the program's financial viability in continuing his tenure. Similarly, Mike Norvell faces pressure at Florida State due to a poor record against Power Four opponents. The coaching situations at Rutgers and UTEP remain critical, with both Greg Schiano and Scotty Walden under significant scrutiny after disappointing performances.
