Eight SEC Coaches Enter 2025 Season on Hot Seat Amid Job Uncertainty

News summary

Heading into the 2025 college football season, several coaches across major conferences are on the hot seat due to recent underperformance and high expectations. In the SEC, Alabama's Kalen DeBoer faces pressure after a 9-4 season, but would need a significant collapse to be fired due to his large guaranteed contract; meanwhile, coaches like Brent Venables at Oklahoma, Sam Pittman at Arkansas, and others such as Hugh Freeze and Billy Napier also face scrutiny with their job security uncertain. In the Big Ten, Lincoln Riley at USC, Luke Fickell at Wisconsin, and Mike Locksley at Maryland are vulnerable, with each needing improved results to avoid potential dismissal. Arkansas' Sam Pittman has struggled to maintain consistent success and faces challenges with roster turnover and recruiting, which heightens concerns about his tenure. Meanwhile, Southwestern Athletic Conference coaches, including Mississippi Valley State's new head coach Terrell Buckley, are preparing for the season with renewed focus but less national spotlight. Overall, the coaching landscape for 2025 suggests a high likelihood of significant turnover, especially in the SEC where no coaching changes last year broke a decades-long trend.
