It’s no fun to be a college football coach this time of year.
USC’s Clay Helton has had to deal with reports that he was getting fired, before conflicting reports came out saying he wasn’t.
Arizona’s Kevin Sumlin heard from an angry fan base that wanted him gone after just two years on the job.
And Washington’s Chris Petersen stepped down despite leading one of the strongest programs in the Pac-12.
So, what gives? Isn’t there anything to be said for stability? And what are the considerations that go into such a move?
It’s got a lot to do with expectations and recruiting.
