CFB Coaches Buyouts Reach $186M | Dodgers the Favorites to Win Again

After a disappointing home loss to Kentucky over the weekend, Auburn fired head coach Hugh Freeze, buying out the remaining $15.8 million on his contract and raising the total buyouts in college football this season to nearly $186 million. FOS reporter David Rumsey explains why 25% of the head coaching jobs in the SEC are currently open and how dominant the conference will be in the first CFP rankings released this week.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers’ Game 7 win in the World Series didn’t just give MLB its first repeat winner in 25 years, but also delivered the league its highest-rated World Series game since 2017. FOS writer Eric Fisher breaks down the historic numbers and previews the upcoming MLB offseason, which has plenty of big names entering free agency.

Plus, it’s yet another season of drama for the Grizzlies and star Ja Morant, who was suspended one game for conduct detrimental to the team. FOS reporter Colin Salao discusses whether the Grizzlies attempt to move on from their star, plus joins host Baker Machado to chat about the other big headlines in the FOS Watercolor.
