The current college football calendar forces coaches into difficult, mid-season decisions that could be mitigated by structural changes.

“it's not running interference for any one person to generically say, "Dude, how about we fix the calendar here to where this doesn't have to happen."”

Lucy Rohden believes the standard of patience for college football coaches has disappeared, leading to an unprecedented number of mid-season firings.

“Like I just think that that the the standard for like giving a little grace is is pretty much gone. Even though I do think like Luke Fickell should be gone. Hugh Freeze should be gone. Billy Napier should be gone.”

Ethan Skolnick believes that the recent wave of late-season coaching changes has become a significant storyline of the NHL season.

“Yeah, I would say this has become probably one of the storylines of the season, right? That is that this is a new I don't I don't know necessarily that this will be a new trend. This might just be a oneoff thing, but you have three four teams making changes late in the year like this.”

Shannon Sharpe believes that coaches are avoiding the Cleveland Browns because they lack autonomy from the current management.

“I agree. I I think the thing is is that a head coach goes in there and they know Andrew Barry still has control. Most of the time coaches want to come in, they want to bring their own general manager. With that being said, and then there's a direct like I don't actually get an opportunity to talk to”

A head coach's first meeting with a new team is the most critical opportunity to define and enforce the team's culture.

“Well, I think that's the most important thing you do. uh because that that's the number one thing you're trying to establish is the culture of how we're going to play as a team whether it's intangibles that you want to talk about”
