College Football Coaches on the Hot Seat

  • Billy Napier has found himself in hot water after a 1–2 start to the season, with Florida facing a $26 million buyout of his contract.
  • Meanwhile, FSU’s Mike Norvell is 0–3 after narrowly missing last year’s college playoff.

The state of football in Florida has seen better days, and two marquee programs may have to cut ties with their respective head coaches soon, which would cost them a pretty penny. College Football Today host Joe Lisi joins the show to discuss why Mike Norvell and Billy Napier could both be out in the coming weeks.

Plus, Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt discusses NIL-induced changes to the Big 12, Tech’s new emphasis on the transfer portal, and the forgotten secret sauce that makes college sports so special.

Also, the Laver Cup begins this week after a successful US Open for the Americans. Team World vice-captain and ESPN analyst Patrick McEnroe gives his thoughts on the intense tournament schedule and Jannik Sinner’s doping scandal.
