While Dave Roberts has been a model of consistency since being hired as Los Angeles Dodgers manager prior to the 2016 season, the same hasn't held true for his alma mater. The UCLA football team has cycled through five head coaches, when including interims, during Roberts' managerial career. The Bruins are poised to usher in a sixth new head coach during that span with their hiring of Bob Chesney from James Madison University.

"1000% committed"

Hitting coach Keith Beauregard won't be returning to the Tigers next year, reports Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. His contract ran through 2025 and he has now decided to leave to pursue new opportunities in baseball. For the past three seasons, the Tigers have had both Beauregard and Michael Brdar serving as hitting coaches. James Rowson worked alongside those two as an assistant in 2023, but he moved on and was replaced by Lance Zawadzki heading into 2024.

The most precarious job in Oakland sports belongs to Benny Feilhaber, the coach of the Roots soccer club. In June, he became the sixth coach since the Roots' inaugural season in 2019, replacing Gavin Glinton after a shaky stretch of play. Glinton, for his part, had replaced Noah Delgado after a shaky stretch in 2024. And Delgado? He had replaced Juan Gerra after a shaky stretch in 2022. Roots coaches tend not to remain Roots coaches for long. And for Feilhaber, who concludes his first season on Saturday at the Oakland Coliseum, this final stretch has proven to be, well, shaky.
