College Football Hot Seat 2026: Is Deion Sanders Running Out of Time?

Could Colorado actually fire Deion Sanders after another disappointing season, or is his reported $26 million buyout too expensive? The college football coaching hot seat is getting crowded in 2026. Hosted by PFN's Max Chadwick, this look at five Power Four coaches starts with Greg Schiano at Rutgers, where poor results and an expensive buyout complicate the decision. Lance Leipold faces pressure at Kansas after consecutive losing seasons, while Sonny Dykes has struggled to sustain TCU's previous success. Brent Key's Georgia Tech program has also taken a major step backward. At Colorado, Sanders faces questions about the offense and quarterback development following the departures of Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. Max closes with Lincoln Riley, whose USC future may still depend on reaching the College Football Playoff.
