Update

Coaching Carousel updated on 13 December with the completely unexpected hiring of Gene Chizik at Auburn. I know he was a very successful DC there, most notably during their undefeated 2004 season, but has anything in his head coaching experience shown that he can handle a job like Auburn? This has fail written all over it. Iowa State's head coaching gig is now available.

San Diego State hired away Brady Hoke from Ball State. Hoke chose to tackle the rebuilding project there instead of trying to turn Ball State into a perennial MAC power.

Now 14 of the 20 openings have been filled. Half of the jobs still available are in the MAC.
