2015 Will Set a Record for Mid-Season Coach Firings

Several coaches escaped firings last season but are already on their final notice. If by mid-season things aren’t looking good you’ll see a whole crop of firings happening all over the FBS.

I doubt we’ll be lucky enough to see the mythical sideline firing (although a couple of coaches are pushing that one) but we will see a record number of early terminations and interim coaches taking over, and some of them will be at big name programs.
