The most recent college coaching carousel will be rightfully remembered for the changes at the top.
Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly moved jobs, Ed Orgeron and Dan Mullen lost jobs, and other notable head coaches found themselves in new places or looking for work. But the carousel didn't stop spinning in mid-December. The hiring of prominent coordinators and the formation of new staffs provided a few more spins to a carousel that won't be forgotten.
Gary Patterson, who dominated Texas while coaching TCU, is now wearing burnt orange as the special assistant to Texas coach Steve Sarkisian.
