The coaching carousel got off to an early start with multiple coaches being relieved of their duties before we even hit Nov. 1.
It started with the USC Trojans firing Clay Helton just two games into the season following an embarrassing loss to Stanford. Helton already found a new job as he was hired by Georgia Southern for the 2022 campaign. Southern fired their head coach Chad Lunsford and have played four games under interim head coach Kevin Whitley.
The LSU Tigers joined the carousel following the victory over the Florida Gators on Oct. 17. The timing was odd considering they just beat their cross-divisional rivals but the conversations started after Kentucky blew the doors off the Tigers in Lexington a week prior.
Plenty of names have been thrown about, we even came up with our own list of potential candidates. With names such as Jimbo Fisher, Mel Tucker, James Franklin, and Billy Napier being thrown about, who should they hire? CBS college football analyst Dennis Dodd weighed in.
Who should be the guy?
