Coaching Carousel Update - Dec 7

The Coaching Carousel has been updated with the Indiana hire and the Pitt vacancy. Indiana hired Kevin Wilson, Oklahoma's offensive coordinator. This may turn out to be a decent hire, but I'm surprised to see someone with no previous head coaching experience given a seven-year deal.

Coaching Carousel Update - Dec 6

The Coaching Carousel has been updated with the Arkansas State, Minnesota, and Colorado hires and the Northern Illinois vacancy. Arkansas State hired Hugh Freeze, who is most well-known as Michael Oher's high school head coach at Briarcrest Christian School. He was referred to as Burt Cotton in the movie The Blind Side. Minnesota made a good hire by taking Jerry Kill away from Northern Illinois. Colorado hired the Tight Ends Coach from the Washington Redskins, who also played TE at Colorado. I do not like this hire.
