The college football season is beginning to wind down and as such each game means more. What does Week 11 have in store for us?
While the SEC has already established who will be making the trip to the conference championship game, not everyone has had that luxury. Teams around the nation are fighting for that chance and, as a result, things are getting interesting pretty darn quick.
Without further ado, let’s talk bold predictions for the week, shall we?
5. At least one coach puts the final nail in his coffin.
There are quite a few teams that could very easily have a new head coach come the 2019 season. Kansas has already started the party by firing David Beaty after season after season of roughly two wins a year. That isn’t good, at all, even if you’re Kansas. Heck, look at Kentucky, it’s all the rage for basketball schools to figure out how to football nowadays.
The two biggest coaches that could easily put the final nail in their coffins this week? Gus Malzahn over at Auburn and Bobby Petrino over at Louisville. Reports say that over 20 players have asked for paperwork to transfer. Yeah, that’s right 20. While Louisville denies this claim, it is still quite the report to hear. The Cardinals take on Syracuse on Friday after being absolutely stomped on by Clemson, 77-16, in Week 10.
Over in the SEC, the wheels will fall off the Gus Bus. A loss to a team that they upset a season ago on their way to a trip to Atlanta will upset the athletic department enough that Malzahn will be on his way out the door sooner rather than later.
