The Coaching Carousel is Picking Up
The college football coaching carousel is spinning.

Four coaches have been shown the door this year, even before Mike Bloomgren got the boot at Rice over the weekend. Let’s recap:
- Jeff Tedford (Fresno State): Stepped down in July due to health concerns. It was a tough break for Fresno State, as Tedford had them back on track.
- Blake Anderson (Utah State): Fired in July after allegedly contacting a domestic violence victim and witness. It is a serious situation and a reminder that off-field issues can have major consequences.
- Will Hall (Southern Miss): Let go after a disappointing 1-6 start. Sometimes, the results aren’t there, and a change is needed.
- Mike Houston (East Carolina): Also fired after a rough start to the season. This is another case of expectations not being met.
With Bloomgren out at Rice, there will be five coaching changes in October. We expect fewer coaching changes than we saw during the 2023 season, but the pace of changes will accelerate as the season continues.
