Nick Saban, likely the greatest coach in college football history, retired. Jim Harbaugh, the reigning national champion, left for the NFL again. All we needed was for one of those "Atlanta Falcons to offer Kirby Smart a jillion dollars a year!" rumors -- or Lane Kiffin's pleas on the topic -- to turn out true, and we'd have gotten a complete restart in the balance of power in college football coaching.

Smart is still at Georgia, but 2024 will still see a pretty big reset. And college coaching is quickly becoming a younger man's game.
