For the first time since Labor Day weekend, no college head coach lost his job this week. But the first major change of the NFL coaching ranks could have a significant impact at the college level.
Matt Rhule is out with the Carolina Panthers after a 1-4 start and an 11-27 overall record with the team. Suddenly, one of the more successful and available college coaching candidates is back on the market.
There's no guarantee Rhule wants to return to coaching right away, but if he does, he should have good opportunities with five Power 5 jobs available and more to come.
