A conversation often reserved for mid-October when there’s an idea of who’s hot and who’s not by the midseason point, it’s never too early to handicap potential head coaching futures across FBS college football.

Something tells me that, in the end, there will be more than nine coaching changes — mostly because it seems that the coaching carousel is always spinning.
