Die of Passion

Nearly one in four FBS programs will be searching for a new head coach shortly.

That's more than usual. Heading into the 2014 season there were only 20 FBS programs debuting brand new head coaches carrying exaggerated dreams and boundless enthusiasm. Back in 2011 while Urban Meyer was working for ESPN there were 24 men with clean 0-0 records at their respective schools.

That group included Miami's Al Golden, Maryland's Randy Edsall, Meyer's replacement at Florida Will Muschamp, Michigan's Brady Hoke, Colorado's Jon Embree, Syracuse's Paul Pasqualoni, Not-That-Miami's Don Treadwell and North Texas' Dan McCarney.
