The tradition of tracking coordinator changes across the college football landscape continues here via the FBS Defensive Coordinator Tracker Page (2022-23).
UConn was the first to have a defensive coordinator opening, when Lou Spanos decided to take a leave of absence about 10 days before the official start of the Jim Mora era.
Interim Nebraska head coach Mickey Joseph decided to part ways with Erik Chinander shortly after taking the reigns of the Huskers, and Chris Wilson was let go at Colorado the same day as head coach Karl Dorrell. The rest of the defensive coordinators who have seen their head coaches dismissed currently remain in their roles.
Also, it's worth noting this is the time of year where it feels important to remind everyone that when one door closes, another opens for someone.
See all the openings on the other side of the ball via our Offensive Coordinator Tracker page.
