The coaching carousel has been swirling at whirligig speed thus far this season, even more than usual. With a lot of big names coming off the board, it’ll eventually happen that “smaller” schools will be affected, and that is perhaps why Kent State has been taking the scenic route with their head coaching search.
Taking time to review all the candidates is good and fine, but with the newly-formed early signing period coming up in a couple of weeks, the athletic director and board of regents will likely have to produce a candidate sooner, rather than later.
There’s been a couple of names floated around, though none officially, regarding the job, and it does tell a lot about how those with the power to hire might be looking.
