James Franklin Already Gave Arkansas An Answer for Its Coaching Opening + More Candidates

When you step outside and feel that nice fall breeze brushing over you, just know that’s some residual gust from the college football coaching carousel currently churning at 100 miles per hour.

There are already six Power Four schools who will be on the hunt for a new head coach, with Arkansas amongst them after firing Sam Pittman, and numerous other jobs are expected to open up by the end of the season. Penn State supplied the most recent shakeup to the landscape by activating James Franklin’s $49 million buyout on Sunday. The Hogs are the only SEC vacancy so far, but Florida looks ready to hit the kill switch on Billy Napier at any moment — the same goes for Auburn and Hugh Freeze.
