Multiple SEC, Sun Belt Coaches Face Job Uncertainty Entering 2025 Season

As the 2025 college football season approaches, several coaches in major conferences face significant pressure to improve their teams' performances or risk losing their jobs. In the SEC, Alabama's Kalen DeBoer, Auburn's Hugh Freeze, Florida's Billy Napier, and Kentucky's Mark Stoops are all under scrutiny after recent underwhelming seasons, with expectations especially high at powerhouse programs like Alabama and Auburn. Meanwhile, the Sun Belt Conference is experiencing high coaching turnover, with only a few coaches having stayed more than two seasons, making rankings and stability difficult to assess. In the NFL, coaches such as Raheem Morris of the Falcons and Shane Steichen of the Colts are on the hot seat due to recent questionable game management and inconsistent team performance. Additionally, other college coaches like Florida State's Mike Norvell and USC's Lincoln Riley are also facing increased pressure after disappointing recent seasons, highlighting the high stakes and limited patience in football coaching. These coaching evaluations reflect the intense scrutiny and performance expectations at all levels of football, from college to professional leagues.
