SB Nation Reacts: The coaching carousel begins

We can assume Matt Wells’s job is safe for this season, but it’s interesting to monitor what positions are starting to open up around the country.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Each week, we send out questions to the most plugged in Texas Tech Red Raiders fans, and fans across the country. Sign up here to join Reacts.

The coaching carousel has officially opened in college football.

South Carolina fired head coach Will Muschamp and according to fans around the country, that will just be the beginning. Roughly two-thirds of fans think at least three Power Five schools will fire their head coach before the end of the season, with 39 percent predicting three coaches getting the axe.

Making things more difficult for those schools that may be looking for a new coach, fans don’t think they will exactly be able to pick-and-choose among the next level of coaches. More than half of fans surveyed said they would rather coach a dominant Group of Five program than a lower-level Power Five team.
