Purdue Football Seeks New Head Coach

The Chicago Bears are seeking a new head coach after firing Matt Eberflus, with candidates including Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman, who has led the Fighting Irish to a 30-9 record since taking over in 2021. Alongside Freeman, other names like Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel have been mentioned as potential hires. Meanwhile, Sam Houston State's head coach KC Keeler is reportedly close to becoming the head coach at Temple after leading the Bearkats to a remarkable 9-3 season, their first bowl eligibility in FBS history. In college football, Purdue has also begun its search for a new head coach following Ryan Walters' dismissal after a dismal 5-19 record over two seasons, including a 1-11 finish this year. Candidates for Purdue include former WKU head coach Tyson Helton and Coastal Carolina's Jamey Chadwell, both of whom have proven successful in their previous roles. The coaching landscape remains dynamic as programs look to rebuild and improve their fortunes in the upcoming seasons.
