Those who closely track the college coaching carousel recognize that there are rarely two light cycles in a row.
After a quiet 2024 (other than Bill Belichick's stunning arrival at North Carolina) the upcoming carousel figures to be much more active. The first two weeks have reinforced that belief, as alarm bells are sounding again in Gainesville, Florida, and Stillwater, Oklahoma, and hot spots in between.
Some coaching situations are more urgent than others, including Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy, who barely escaped 2024 with his job and just suffered the worst loss of his Pokes tenure (69-3 at Oregon).
