Guru's Coaching Carousel

There have already been some shakeups in the head coaching ranks and there are sure to be many more soon to come starting Monday with the expected announcement of Lloyd Carr's retirement. Look for this to send a huge ripple into the college football world if they get Les Miles. It must be noted that some of the coaches on this list are on here not necessarily for poor results, but due to retirement or an expected head coaching switch to another school. I look for the most intriguing name to be thrown out this offseason to be Bo Pelini. If Miles jumps to Michigan as many are expecting and Tommy Tubberville chooses not to move to Texas A&M, there may be 3 major programs (LSU, Texas A&M, and Nebraska) pulling his arms to take over their program.

There are obviously coaches on the hot seat who are more likely to move than others, but I feel many of their respective schools are content to give them another shot to perform such as Charlie Weis, Greg Robinson, and Bill Doba. There's also no reason besides aging to suggest Bobby Bowden or Joe Paterno would leave their schools this offseason. It should be a fun coaching carousel to watch this season.
