CFB coaching carousel: Latest buzz, top candidates and best jobs

Related Topics: Jeff Scott

The coaching carousel started early this season and added a new opening Sunday, but there haven't been many true surprises.

Entering the fall, four Power 5 jobs were highlighted, circled and underlined as likely to open: Arizona State, Auburn, Georgia Tech and Nebraska. All four are now vacant. The Group of 5 had several tenuous coaching situations, too, including South Florida's Jeff Scott, who had received a small contract extension in January despite a 3-18 record at the school.

USF certainly wanted Scott to turn things around. He still had plenty of supporters, including athletic director Michael Kelly.
