When a college program fires a coach mid-season, the ripple effects are significant: recruiting decommitments spike, players jump to the transfer portal, team morale suffere and on-field improvement is rarely immediate. Tom and Berry discuss the future of several programs who decided to axe its coach before the end of the season.
