Roll call: All the Power 5 coaches, by school, in the 2000s
Three schools have joined Kansas atop a dubious Power 5 stat category: Most coaches this century.
Florida, Miami and Washington — two of whom have won a national title this century and another who has made the College Football Playoff — each made a hire this coaching cycle, meaning they have joined woebegone Kansas in having seven coaches since the dawn of the 2000s.
A few weeks ago, we wrote about this very topic, but since then, the coaching carousel has spun even faster and Notre Dame and Oklahoma have had to unexpectedly make hires, too.
Here’s a complete breakdown of all the coaches in the 2000s at the Power 5 schools. And we’re thinking you could win some friendly wagers with this information at your fingertips. (We admit it: We forgot a handful of these guys … but we’re betting fans of those teams didn’t.)
Coaches with an asterisk denote an interim who oversaw a team for an entire season; we did not include interims who were not in place for all of a team’s games. And a + sign signifies a school that had an opening this cycle.
