NCAA Coaching Carousel (2011 Edition)
So far, Arizona has filled its position with RichRod.
Either gone or reportedly gone since Saturday: Illinois' Zook, Kansas' Turner Gill, Memphis' Larry Porter, UAB's Neil Callaway, Akron's Ianello, Washington State's Paul Wulff, Arizona State's Dennis Erickson and, albeit not for another week, UCLA's Neuheisel.
Three names figure to come up for some or all of the West Coast jobs: Mike Leach, Houston's Kevin Sumlin and Boise State's Chris Petersen.
Meanwhile, there's no obvious candidate for Illinois (if it had canned Zook a year earlier, it could have landed an ideal fit, Jerry Kill, now at Minnesota) and no good read on new AD Mike Thomas, formerly at Cincinnati. Thomas would be smart to make a run at Sumlin, who was an assistant to Joe Tiller at Purdue. Like the Pac-12, the Big Ten is undergoing a massive overhaul with new coaches expected at Ohio State and Penn State as well, all coming just a year after Michigan's transition to Brady Hoke. Your guess is as good as mine as to who lands in State College.
And remember, there are openings already at North Carolina (where Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn is considered a leading candidate) and Ole Miss (where Southern Miss' Larry Fedora and Arkansas State's Hugh Freeze keep coming up, but with no sign yet that either hiring is imminent).
