Coaching Carousel 2025-2026

Oklahoma State is hiring North Texas HC Eric Morris as their next head coach.

Timing of that announcement is a bummer considering UNT is in the thick of the playoff race.

Reality of modern college athletics, though I know you know that.

Fortunately UNT is allowing him to keep coaching in pursuit of a conference title and possible CFP berth.

Rumors that Lane Kiffin will be going to LSU. Word is his son let it slip during a Fortnite session.

Oregon State is hiring Alabama co-OC JaMarcus Shephard as their next head coach.

He's been high on lists for years. Since he was at Washington.

Tulane HC Jon Sumrall is taking the Florida job.

Memphis HC Ryan Silverfield is taking the Arkansas job.

USF HC Alex Golesh is taking the Auburn job.

Tulane, Memphis, and USF now all have openings.

Considering there was no dominant MAC team this year, I’d be surprised if there is much movement from our conference. The only exception might be Candle? He may feel like he’s plateaued here (because he kinda has).

It seems like Candle wants out. He was shooting for the Ohio State OC job last year before they hired Bill O'Brien/Chip Kelly. I think he understands that nobody is impressed by winning at a mediocre level with the most resources in a small conference and he needs to prove himself elsewhere to move up.
