Multiple Big Ten football programs are in turmoil at the midway point of the 2025-2026 college football season.
After a 0-3 start to the season, UCLA fired Head Coach DeShaun Foster. Foster and the Bruins squad had high expectations this season after bringing in transfer quarterback Nico Iamaleava.
Foster was a mere 5-10 in a short tenure with UCLA.
Penn State also fired their head coach, James Franklin, following a three-game losing streak, including back-to-back disastrous losses to 0-4 UCLA and then Northwestern.
Another coach who has not been fired, but is definitely on the hot seat, is Wisconsin Head Coach Luke Fickell.
