Analysis: The college football coaching carousel just took one of its wildest spins
the Irish promoted defensive coordinator Marcus FreemanThen there was Miami’s latest attempt at restoring a long-since toppled college football dynasty. The Hurricanes brought Oregon’s Mario Cristobal back to Southern Florida, and the Ducks responded by giving Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning his first head coaching gig.to reinvigorate a program that had become lifeless under Justin Fuente, and Washington called on Fresno State’s Kalen DeBoer to take over for the fired Jimmy Lake.
Other programs face equally pointed questions. Florida averaged eight victories over the past decade, which was enough to oust the last three coaches. Virginia Tech posted three losing records in the past four years. Washington seems far more than two seasons removed from the end of Chris Petersen’s 55-26 run that included a playoff berth in 2016.
How might it play out? The wide range of possibilities are illustrated by two examples in which five schools that made a BCS final or a playoff semifinal hired new coaches.The class of 2001 included three eventual national champions in Miami’s Larry Coker, Ohio State’s Jim Tressel and Southern Cal’s Pete Carroll, and it also marked the start of Mark Richt’s 15-year run at Georgia. Even Dennis Franchione went 17-8 at Alabama before bolting for Texas A&M.
