Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt evaluates 10 Head Coaches and establishes how much pressure they are under going into the season. From Coaches coming off disappointing seasons like Clemson’s Dabo Swinney to Coaches with fanbases expecting a major breakthrough this year like USC’s Lincoln Riley and Texas’ Steve Sarkisian, Klatt breaks down each situation and points out which game on the schedule could really ratchet up the pressure if things go sideways. What kind of pressure is Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer under this year as he goes into Year 3 with the Crimson Tide after 2 years which have had some successes but also some disappointments. How are Nebraska fans feeling about Matt Rhule as their HC enters Year 4 of his rebuild? How much pressure is on Lane Kiffin in Year 1 at LSU?
