College Football Coaching Shake-Up | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

College football’s coaching carousel just got wilder than anyone predicted last year, with over thirty head coach openings—17 in the power conferences—and shockers like Brian Kelly and James Franklin potentially gone, or Michigan’s Sherrone Moore ousted after a title. This year’s cycle may be quieter, but don’t sleep on it: insiders—ADs, recruiters, agents—are already spotting which programs are prepping for searches. Big-name vacancies at USC or Florida State could spark dominoes. Athletic directors now prioritize proven head coaches—even from smaller schools—over coordinators, since replacing a whole roster and budget is no joke. And guess what? Some top-tier coaches are turning down elite gigs to stay put, as NIL money and player movement make mid-tier jobs more appealing. The landscape is shifting fast.
