Eleven FBS coaches have been fired since the start of the 2025 season. That includes openings at some of the country's biggest programs: Penn State, LSU, Auburn and Florida. And being a fired college football doesn't seem all that bad. The combined buyouts are pushing $185 million, according to contracts and term sheets obtained by USA TODAY Sports. And it won't be long until we reach $200 million. Brian Kelly and James Franklin's $50 million buyouts are doing most of that lift, rivaling Jimbo Fisher's $76.8 million Texas A&M gave him to go away as the largest buyouts in college football history. Take a look at the buyouts for the 11 coaches fired so far this season at the link in our bio. #buyouts #collegefootball #coach #fired #contract
