The 2025 Next College Football Coach Fired hot seat shifted to "fully engulfed" after Week 3 following the dismissals of UCLA coach DeShaun Foster and Virginia Tech coach Brent Pry.

Angry, angst-ridden, and agitated fan bases never stop the chatter about moving on from their current head coach. It doesn't matter if their favorite team loses to its biggest rival or gets crushed by its top intra-conference foes. Never mind whiff when it comes to college football betting odds.

Multiple big-name schools replaced their head coaches since Ohio State won the national championship in January. Meanwhile, thanks to NIL and the portal, rosters remain in constant churn.

There are several teams whose coaches may find themselves on our 2025 Next College Football Coach Fired if their teams struggle this season. 

In the Big 12, Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy tops our 2025 Next College Football Coach Fired list entering Week 4.

In Gainesville, Billy Napier heard the "Fire Billy" chants after another error-filled loss to LSU in "Death Valley." Auburn's Hugh Freeze and Alabama's Kalen DeBoer didn't even make it to Labor Day before finding themselves on simmer. The likelihood is high that one of those schools could be looking for a new full-time head coach before the half-time Dr. Pepper Challenge at the SEC title game in Atlanta on Dec. 7. 

Let’s take a look at our weekly 2025 Next College Football Coach Fired odds.

2025 CFB Next Coach Fired Odds

Here are our latest 2025 Next College Football Coach Fired odds in the First Power 4 College Football Coach (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC) Fired during the 2025 season.

Power 5 teams only. Odds above have been created by Bookies.com Senior Handicapper Adam Thompson and do not reflect odds that may be available on legal betting apps.

Names To Watch On The CFB Coaching Hot Seat In 2025

Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State (+250)

Buzz: Mike Gundy and the Pokes remain drifters in Big 12. He tops our 2025 Next College Football Coach Fired list. OSU comes off a bye and enters a win-or-else clash with in-state rival Tulsa. Bring back the mullett before Gundy gets a buzzcut.

Billy Napier, Florida (+300)

Buzz: Florida head coach Billy Napier finds his seat-warmer set on "FULL" after an embarrassing 18-16 loss to South Florida in The Swamp and a complete meltdown in "Death Valley" against LSU. The Gators visit Hard Rock Stadium to face the Miami Hurricanes this week. Tick. Tick. Tick.

Tony Elliott, Virginia (+700)

Buzz: A regular in our Next College Football Coach Fired market last season. Tony Elliott's time in Virginia most likely hinges on just how much the powers that be in Charlottesville care about football success in the ACC. He'd be closer to the top if things weren't so dire in Gainesville and Stillwater.

Hugh Freeze, Auburn (+950)

Buzz: The Tigers boast a 3-0 start, including that 38-24 win over Big 12 foe Baylor. But it just means (a lot) more once the SEC schedule begins in this week with a game at Oklahoma. Hugh Freeze won't cool off here until he logs some intra-conference victories.

Luke Fickell, Wisconsin (+1000)

Buzz: Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell returns to the 2025 Next College Football Coach Fired market in 2025 after a solid run last season. The Badgers played the role of doormat Saturday at Alabama, keeping Tide coach Kalen DeBoer safe for another day. The Badgers play host to Maryland this week. Does the "trap game" door await?

David Braun, Northwestern (+1200)

Buzz: No one expected Northwestern to contend against Oregon. Even though the Wildcats stole the backdoor cover on a 27-point line, they trailed 34-0 before the Ducks tapped out on the wet track in Evanston. David Braun must do better.

Lincoln Riley, USC (+1500)

Buzz: There are 18 teams in the newly expanded Big Ten. The 3-0 Trojans easily handled Purdue in their Big Ten opener. Lincoln Riley needs to start working on the Southern Cal alumni base for some NIL money. Especially given the fertile ground in So Cal and UCLA's ongoing woes.

Dabo Swinney, Clemson (+1800)

Buzz: The Tigers took a stinger at Georgia Tech, losing to the Yellojackets on a field goal at the gun. Dabo Swinney's team gets Syracuse this week in the ACC's Mini Orange Bowl. The Tigers' offense remains in neutral.
