When projecting the volume of a coaching job market, the most important variable is market drivers. With firing season just around the corner, the looming question will be whether or not any jobs will open with enough clout to drive the market.
A flurry of pedestrian high-major jobs are projected to open: Georgia Tech, Rutgers, TCU and Oklahoma State. But those lack the gravitas to create true market upheaval. There are a pair of good jobs outside the Power 5 that are either already open (UNLV) or projected to become available (Memphis), but neither of those will likely force a ripple throughout the country.
