It’s just about time to start one of the least favorite but most interesting times of year: The coaching carousel. As a Group of 5 conference, Mountain West head and assistant coaches get offers and leave each season for more prestigious and higher-paying new jobs. It’s just how it is in the college football landscape.
Three, maybe four teams already have coaching openings at the time of this writing (Maryland, Kansas, and Louisville. Rumors leaked on Colorado as well but nothing is official yet). By the end of the month, many more schools will have vacancies as well.
