Ball State Fires Coach Mike Neu After Losses

In a wave of coaching changes as the college football season progresses, Wisconsin has fired offensive coordinator Phil Longo following a disappointing loss to Oregon, leaving the Badgers with a 5-5 record. Meanwhile, Ball State has terminated head coach Mike Neu after a 3-7 start to the 2024 season, marking a 40-63 overall record during his nine years with the program. Neu's best season was in 2020 when Ball State achieved a 7-1 record and its only bowl victory. Similarly, former Ohio State coach Stan Drayton was also dismissed from Temple after a poor record of 8-25 in three seasons. The coaching landscape is shifting, with other programs like Kennesaw State and East Carolina also beginning their searches for new leadership. As the regular season nears its conclusion, more high-profile coaching changes are anticipated.
