What College Football coaches are on the hot seat? | 2026 College Football preview with Haley Sawyer

USC Trojans beat reporter for The Orange County Register Haley Sawyer returns to the Jack Vita Show for the third installment of our three-part 2026 College Football season preview! Today, we are discussing the biggest storylines surrounding college coaches entering the 2026 season.
What coaches enter 2026 on the hot seat? What new hires will impress this season? Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss to coach LSU, while trying to recruit professional players has undoubtedly made him the villain of the sport. How will the Tigers fare in their first season under their new coach, after the Brian Kelly experiment failed miserably?
Curt Cignetti is building a legacy at Indiana University, a school known better for its basketball than its football. What kind of season will the Hoosiers have in 2026, without quarterback, Heisman winner and future no. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza? What type of season will TCU transfer Josh Hoover have in Bloomington?
Later, Haley has a fun exercise cooked up special for the podcast, as she compares college football coaches to Jersey Shore characters! It's a jam-packed episode you will not want to miss!
