The 2018 college football season featured 21 new coaches at FBS programs, and with the year completed, it's time to grade and rank the hires. The 21 coaching changes were down slightly from the 2017 season, as 23 different programs had a change in the full-time role. It’s no secret coaching changes can have an instant impact on a program, but some hires need a couple of years to rebuild a mess inherited from the previous staff. Arkansas' Chad Morris and Florida State's Willie Taggart rank low in the first-year grades and struggled in their first season, but both have a better outlook for 2019 and beyond.
