These two coaches are currently in the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
Urban Meyer and D.J. Durkin have had a busy offseason with much of the attention falling on issues off of the field. For Meyer, he is currently being investigated as to what he knew or did not know in regards to domestic violence allegations against former assistant Zach Smith. He remains on paid administrative leave with the investigation set to wrap up later this week.
For Durkin, he was placed on administrative leave Saturday following an ESPN report surrounding the events of a May 29 workout that resulted in Maryland OL Jordan McNair being sent to the hospital. He later passed away.
As a result, the two head coaches currently lead the updated odds for the first head coach to be fired in college football this season according to OddsShark:
