Patience can wear thin rather quickly in college football where constant pressure to succeed persists. Failures only amplify the stress, particularly in the following season. While most of the attention is traditionally directed at head coaches, the spotlight increasingly shines on coordinators, a trend fueled by the rising salary pools for assistants.
Looking ahead to the 2024 college football season, there are plenty of coordinators at new programs across the country, but a closer look at those returning reveals a group facing heightened intensity to produce better results from previous years. Notably, many of these coordinators operate within teams expected to be in the preseason top 25, which means their role is crucial for a run at a coveted spot in the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff.
To be clear, this is not a hot seat list, but rather a look at college football coordinators facing elevated pressure heading into the 2024 season.
