8 college football coaches with new teams to keep an eye on going into 2023 season

The college football season is upon us as teams prepare to take to the gridiron for yet another season of competition, traditions and intrigue.

As is customary with any new sports season, all eyes will be on the new guys on the sideline leading new programs across the spectrum of college football.

Let’s see who these fresh and familiar faces are among the coaching ranks.
