The college football has progressed past Week Nine, which means some teams have reached the point of being ineligible for the postseason. It's begun to create questions about the futures of certain programs. The ongoing investigation into the University of Michigan has made things increasingly complicated.

On Monday afternoon, SportsBetting.ag released a list of college football head coaches they believe have a higher likelihood of being relieved of their duties. Those names are below.

Next Head Coach Fired (NCAA)

  • Jimbo Fisher (Texas A&M) 4-1
  • Dana Holgersen (Houston) 5-1
  • Dave Aranda (Baylor) 5-1
  • Justin Wilcox (California) 6-1
  • Mike Locksley (Maryland) 6-1
  • Tom Allen (Indiana) 7-1
  • Ken Wilson (Nevada) 8-1
  • Butch Jones (Arkansas State) 9-1
  • Danny Gonzales (New Mexico) 9-1
  • Brent Pry (Virginia Tech) 12-1
  • Billy Napier (Florida) 14-1
  • Sam Pittman (Arkansas) 14-1
  • Jim Harbaugh (Michigan) 25-1 

On that list are three coaches from the Group of Five: Ken Wilson of Nevada, Butch Jones of Arkansas State, and Danny Gonzales of New Mexico.

Wilson's Nevada Wolf Pack have started the season 2-6. They lost their first six games of the season, but are currently on a two-game winning streak after beating San Diego State and New Mexico. Nevada also lost their final ten games of the 2022 season.

Gonzales and New Mexico are 3-5 to start the season. Gonzales is in his fourth season with the Lobos, amassing a 10-29 record. He has yet to win more than three games in a season with New Mexico.

Jones has Arkansas State off to a 4-4 start in 2023. Now in his third season with the program, Jones' four wins are the most he has achieved in a season with the Red Wolves. Jones is 9-23 to date in Jonesboro. A bowl berth would be their first since 2019.
