Who is the first to be kicked off the ride mid-season? Used to be vanishingly rare but in recent years more the norm. Early candidates:
Deshaun Foster, UCLA: No wins and two losses to Mountain West teams, an apathetic fan base, and no relief on the horizon. They will be lucky to get to three wins and there is already smoke it might have happened.
Brent Pry, VaTech: Losses to then 11 South Carolina and even Vandy can be bounced back from. Getting smoked by ODU? Nope. VaTech is at the very bottom of an underwhelming ACC and is there really any reason to think Pry can pull them level with even Georgia Tech, let alone FSU or Miami? Might they take a run again at Shane Beamer?
Billy Napier, Florida. Seems he is done, just a question of him. A very talented team look sloppy, uninspired, unprepared. Put simply— uncoached. They have the talent to win the next three but my money is on a total meltdown against Miami and the boosters will jump in to demand an interim.
