With the first coaching change now already in the books, it is time to plug in the good old Coaching Carousel Tracker. I have taken it upon myself to track coaching carousel changes in FBS football for years on a previous website and am happy to finally bring my approach to the topic to Nittany Lions Wire.
As a refresher, we are tracking all head coaching changes at the FBS level. Any time a head coach gets removed as head coach, we will get this tracker updated as quickly as possible. It will also be a fun way to track all of the head coaching changes, who is gone for one reason or another, and who replaces them.
Scott Frost got us started with this year’s coaching carousel after getting removed as head coach just three games into the season by Nebraska. You can tell the university felt there was no other choice because Nebraska paid twice as much in the middle of September to move on from Frost as it would have cost if it waited until October 1.
As of September 12, 2022, there has been one head coaching change in the FBS. Below is the full chart of coaching changes listed by FBS school. Below that, there will be a more detailed breakdown of the coaching change.
