2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

I like Fitz...I think he was a very solid coach for a school that he loves. There is a reason they went after him for the hazing (I have no interest in litigating that) despite being the prodigal son. It was becoming obvious the system was peetering out and cfb was changing. Sucks cause schools like NW need coaches like that but cfb doesn't care.

MSU won't have the patience so he better hit the ground running and be squeeky clean.
I think Fitz can get MSU to the middle tier of the B1G at least. He understands B1G football, now has better resources than he's ever had, and will be very motivated. In a conference where PJ, Ferentz and Bielema have all had varying degrees of success I see no reason why he cant.
 

Good news if you hope PJ is staying (most of us do)
UCLA and Arkansas both filled. Both were rumored suitors for him recently.

I think Penn State (long shot) is the only remaining major job he might consider
Sounds like Penn State is getting the BYU coach. Seems like an odd fit and a lateral move from Frankin at best, but we'll see.

They were always going to get a lateral move at best from Franklin, which is why it was dumb to fire him. There's a very short list of guys who are clearly better coaches than Franklin right now, and those guys aren't leaving their current jobs.
