"The defining trait of this coaching cycle in college football isn't scope but speed. More than anything, the pace at which the carousel is moving stands out. Consider the Penn State coaching search, only 18 days old. We barely had time to digest the magnitude of James Franklin's firing after 11-plus seasons at PSU -- and a College Football Playoff semifinal appearance in January -- before potential replacement Curt Cignetti agreed to a new eight-year, $93 million contract with Indiana."
"The Lane Kiffin- Florida exclusive courtship lasted only a week before LSU entered the chat. Kiffin could end up deciding between two of the better jobs in the SEC or he could stay at Ole Miss, which he has built into a national contender and where he receives strong support. Ole Miss' position as a CFP hopeful could take the process well into December."
Coaching turnover in college football is moving at an unusually rapid pace, reshaping candidates and targets almost weekly. The Penn State search reached major developments within 18 days as James Franklin was fired after more than 11 seasons and a CFP semifinal run; Curt Cignetti then agreed to an eight-year, $93 million deal at Indiana, and Matt Rhule agreed to an extension after recent losses. Lane Kiffin drew quick interest from Florida and LSU while Ole Miss remains a CFP contender. LSU's alternatives include Drinkwitz and Brohm. Weekend game results continue to alter hiring options and coaches' availability.
