Twenty-seven major college football programs changed head coaches for the 2019 season. That’s a little more than usual but not far from the standard. About 20 percent.
The changes range from Ohio State to Texas State; from Miami to Liberty.
Some of the new coaches are big names – Dana Holgorsen and Hugh Freeze. Some are old names – Mack Brown and Les Miles. Some are no names – Jamey Chadwell and Thomas Hammock.
They all are in different situations. And who knows how they will do? When Alabama hired Nick Saban, it seemed like a home run, and it was.
