BYU’s Kalani Sitake among favorites to be first college football head coach fired in 2024

BYU head coach Kalani Sitake guided the Cougars into a power conference for the first time in 2023 with some pretty grisly results, going 5-7 overall and 2-7 in Big 12 Conference play.

Those results are the main reason why oddsmakers have Sitake among the favorites to be the first college football coach fired in 2024 with 10-to-1 odds at BetOnline.com .

Florida’s Billy Napier led the way with 4-to-1 odds.

It was only the second losing season for BYU since Sitake was hired in 2016 and ended a streak of five consecutive seasons with a bowl game.

Sitake isn’t the only coach in the Big 12 on the hot seat headed into 2024. Baylor’s Dave Aranda  (7-to-1), Cincinnati’s Scott Satterfield (14-to-1), West Virginia’s Neal Brown (14-to-1) and Colorado’s Deion Sanders (50-to-1) also made the list.
