Those openings may not be the last ones created in the Power Four. PFN's Max Chadwick identified five more head coaches whose seats are getting warmer as the regular season enters its final month.
He also added USC's Lincoln Riley as a bonus name who helped himself considerably with a win over Ohio State but may not be completely safe yet. Greg Schiano is the winningest coach in Rutgers history, but Chadwick believes his second tenure in Piscataway may be approaching its end.
PFN's projections have Rutgers finishing around 3-9 and gave the Scarlet Knights only a 0.3% chance of making a bowl at the time of the recording. The larger trend is difficult to ignore.
KEY POINTS
- 5 College Football Coaches on the Hot Seat After Mike Norvell Firing, Plus Lincoln Riley.
- Maryland moved on from Mike Locksley, NC State fired Dave Doeren, Baylor dismissed Dave Aranda, and Florida State followed by ending Mike Norvell’s tenure.
- Rutgers fell to 2-6 after a 28-21 loss to Michigan, leaving the Scarlet Knights needing to win all four remaining games simply to reach bowl eligibility.
- Rutgers is 3-11 in Big Ten play over the past two seasons, and its only Power Four win this year came against a Maryland program that fired Locksley shortly afterward.
