College football coaching job security

Overview

As the 2026 season begins, several college football coaches are facing significant job security challenges.

Wisconsin Badgers head coach Luke Fickell is under pressure to improve following a 4-8 season, with an upcoming game against No. 4 Notre Dame viewed as a potential turning point for his program. Other coaches facing scrutiny include Lincoln Riley at Southern California and Mike Norvell at Florida State. Norvell’s position is described as “particularly precarious” after a 5-7 finish last season, with his future potentially depending on performance during a critical stretch of games against SMU, Alabama, Louisville, and Miami.
