College football is shaking things up! Many big schools are looking for new coaches. Some jobs are open because coaches were fired, and others will open soon. It's a wild time with lots of changes happening. There are 13 big jobs up for grabs right now. Some schools are looking for new leaders because they didn't do well this season. Others are looking ahead, planning for the future. It's like a big game of musical chairs, but with coaches instead of chairs. Some coaches are hot right now. Lane Kiffin is doing great at Ole Miss and might attract big offers. Others, like Eli Drinkwitz from Missouri, are also in the spotlight. There are many good coaches out there, and schools are trying to find the best fit.
But hiring big-name coaches isn't always the answer. Sometimes, lesser-known coaches can bring big success. Look at Curt Cignetti from Indiana or Mike Elko from Texas A&M. They didn't have much head coaching experience, but they're doing well. There are lots of coaches to choose from. Some are already leading teams, like Kiffin and Drinkwitz. Others are coordinators or have been recently fired. Each coach brings something different to the table. Schools need to think carefully about who they hire. It's not just about finding a coach who can win games. It's about finding someone who can build a strong team culture and bring people together. That's what really matters in the end.
