Have you ever heard of the term sophomore slump? It is used to describe players who have an incredible season in Year 1 but take their lumps in Year 2.
It’s a very common term used in sports that is mostly applied to athletes. Fans use it as a coping mechanism when their star player doesn’t play as well as a sophomore.
Does the same phenomenon happen to head coaches?

LSU will kick off its 2023 campaign in Orlando as it looks to avenge last season’s loss to Florida State.
