We already track the hires of the new coaches around college football via our Staff Tracker, but with all the coordinator and position coaching changes in the coaching profession every off season, we wanted to provide a place to go to track those as well.
Here, we will share the openings and hirings of new offensive coordinators, covering both the hires for new head coaches, and established head coaching hiring replacements.
Some of the top tier offensive coordinator jobs open right now include Auburn, LSU, TCU, and Baylor (among others).
Top tier and veteran offensive coordinators coaches currently on the market include Chad Morris, Noel Mazzone, Rod Smith, David Yost, Larry Fedora, Mike Yurcich, Eric Kiesau and Bodie Reeder.
