Big 12 Coaching Chaos 2026 | Sports News
Description
The Big 12 coaching landscape is彻底 flipped—four of last year’s longest-tenured Power Four coaches are gone, leaving just one. By next season, the average tenure will be under three years, with four new faces joining the mix. The rankings are chaos: no top-three coach from last year remains, guaranteeing a brand-new No. 1 for the fifth straight year—and it might surprise you. Kalani Sitake (BYU) tops the list after two stellar seasons, Willie Fritz (Houston) follows with a breakout 10-win campaign, and Joey McGuire (Texas Tech) rounds out the top three despite beating both last year. Kenny Dillingham (ASU) rockets up as the biggest riser, while Sonny Dykes (TCU) stays high thanks to most wins since his arrival. Lance Leipold (Kansas) dips slightly after recent losses but still owns the best four-year stretch in school history. Newcomers like Eric Morris (Oklahoma State) and Brent Brennan (Arizona) leap ahead, while Deion Sanders (Colorado) and Scott Frost (UCF) see steep drops. Welcome to the wild, unpredictable, and utterly transformed Big 12 coaching era.
