A complete list of all the FBS coordinator changes this cycle

Coaching changes are an annual occurrence — there have been 29 in the FBS ranks this cycle — and with coaching changes come coordinator changes.

But not all coordinator changes are tied to new coaches. In this cycle, 66 FBS schools (that’s a bit more than 50 percent of the 130) have changed offensive coordinators, including 11 of the 14 in the ACC, nine of the 14 in Conference USA and seven of the 12 in the AAC. There were 56 defensive coordinator changes, with eight in the Pac-12, seven each in the ACC and SEC and six in the Big Ten.

Of the 29 schools with new coaches, 27 have new coordinators on both sides of the ball; UConn changed offensive coordinators, and Notre Dame hired only a defensive coordinator.

In addition, 10 schools that didn’t change head coaches have, for various reasons, two new coordinators: Arizona State, Auburn, Clemson, FAU, Memphis, Michigan, Ole Miss, ULM, UNLV and USF.

Here’s a look at all the new coordinators in the FBS ranks and their previous job. If a departed coordinator got a new job, that is listed, too. And schools designated with an asterisk are the ones with new head coaches.
