The college football coaching carousel is cranked up for another spin after the bombshell news of Alabama's Nick Saban riding off into retirement. After Kalen DeBoer left Washington for Tuscaloosa, former Arizona coach Jedd Fisch agreed to take over the Huskies' job, with San José State's Brent Brennan filling the void left by Fisch.

Every new hire comes with a degree of hope but also plenty to analyze. Recent coaching cycles have shown that some can't-miss hires will miss and that less-celebrated coaches can be exactly what certain programs needed.
