Let's Debate: Which Head Coach Is Under the Most Pressure In 2026?

Lincoln Riley at USC enters Year 5 with loads of talent (a top recruiting class and veteran pieces) but still no conference titles or CFP trips — he needs tangible progress or pressure will mount.
Deion Sanders at Colorado keeps overhauling the roster and has lost key players to power programs; after a long winless stretch he needs a fast start to calm growing frustration.
Lane Kiffin’s move from Ole Miss to LSU came with massive spending and sky‑high expectations — a perfect early run (including a matchup with his old team) will go a long way toward justifying it.

The Atlantic 10 is a 14-team mid-major (despite the name) where all schools make the conference tourney — top 4 get double-byes — so the automatic bid matters, but the league can occasionally snag at-large spots come Selection Sunday.
Men’s race: Saint Louis is the class of the league with balanced scoring (their 18-game run ended in a Rhode Island upset), VCU is close behind with two star producers (Terrence Hill, Lazar Djokovic), and realistically only Saint Louis and VCU look like true at-large candidates.
Women’s race: wide open — Richmond, Rhode Island and George Mason lead the pack, but Richmond’s Maggie Doogan is the clear individual star (top scorer, best PER), making her the A‑10 player to watch for March.

Tyreek Hill, 32, was released after a season-ending dislocated knee/ACL; his rehab is going well but his readiness for the regular season is uncertain.
Top landing spots being talked about are the Chiefs (reunion with Mahomes/Andy Reid), Chargers (Justin Herbert + Mike McDaniel ties) and Commanders (pairing with Terry McLaurin for deep plays).
Teams are weighing his elite explosiveness against age, a major injury and off-field concerns — if healthy he could still be a game-changing addition for a contender.

FOX says the 2026 Daytona 500 drew 7.489 million viewers (an 11% increase vs. 2025), peaked at 9.154 million and even out-rated non-prime Olympic coverage during the race window.
Tyler Reddick snatched the win with a dramatic last-lap pass on Turn 4, edging Zane Smith and Chase Elliott.
The victory was 23XI Racing’s first Daytona 500 win (team co-founded by Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan); it’s Reddick’s ninth Cup victory and the series moves to the Autotrader 400 Sunday.
