Auburn's firing of Hugh Freeze adds another major program to an unprecedented wave of coaching changes that includes Penn State, Oklahoma State, and four SEC schools.

Former Alabama coach Nick Saban was listed as a longshot this week on various lists identifying coaching candidates for LSU's vacancy before hammering the state of college football's coaching carousel Saturday morning.

This year’s college football coaching carousel has created a vast web of storylines that draw similarities to soap operas and made-for-TV moments.

Since World War II, the most SEC coaching changes in one year is five, after the 2017 season. The SEC has existed since 1933, but we exclude the war years because several programs canceled their 1943 seasons and still others had coaches miss multiple seasons while serving in the military.
