College football coaching carousel should slow due to revenue sharing
The coaching carousel could slow to a crawl in the 2024-25 cycle as costs of revenue sharing with student-athletes lessens money available for buyouts
At least two head coaching positions have come open within the 13 FBS programs in Texas over the last three carousels. Three programs – Texas A&M, Houston, and UTEP – changed head coaches after the 2023 season. Two switched head coaches after the 2022 campaign with Texas State and North Texas moving on from Jake Spavital and Seth Littrell, respectively. And three came open ahead of the 2022 season when SMU, TCU, and Tech changed directions.
The last time only one job opened was the 2020-21 cycle when Steve Sarkisian replaced Tom Herman at Texas. The year before that, Baylor hired Dave Aranda and UTSA hired Jeff Traylor. Outside of K.C. Keeler at Sam Houston, who was hired in 2014 when the Bearkats were still an FCS program, Aranda and Traylor are now the longest-tenured FBS head coaches in Texas after Mike Bloomgren was fired at Rice earlier this season.
