Coaching Carousel Update - Nov 29

The Coaching Carousel has been updated with the Indiana, Louisiana Lafayette and Arkansas State vacancies and the North Texas hire. I think North Texas made a good move by hiring Dan McCarney, the man who was able to turn Iowa State into a semi-consistent winner.

Coaching Carousel Update

With the season coming to a close, the carousel is going to get started up. The Coaching Carousel has been updated with the Miami, Vanderbilt, Ball State, and Kent State vacancies. I anticipate several more jobs will come open next week.
