Some of the biggest jumps for programs come in a coach’s second year. Meanwhile, a bad year two can put a coach on the hot seat. So who is headed up or down in 2018?
From Don (via text): What second-year coach has the best chance for a big turnaround this year? Which one has the most difficult future?
The biggest turnaround candidate among the second-year coaches has to be Baylor’s Matt Rhule. The Bears went 1–11 last season with a roster gutted in the wake of an awful scandal that forced a complete house-cleaning that included the firing (or whatever euphemism they used depending on the person) of coach Art Briles, athletic director Ian McCaw and president Kenneth Starr.
