The wildest college football coaching cycle -- perhaps ever -- has reached the hiring phase.
Schools around the Power 4 that fired their coaches in the first two months of the season -- or, in Stanford's case, way back in late March -- are targeting candidates and finalizing deals. Interestingly enough, one of the first major coaches to lose his job, Penn State's James Franklin, was the first noninterim coach to be hired, as he is headed to Virginia Tech.
