RoadTripSports.com is devoted to keeping you apprised of all things college football. So, from time to time, we’ll update you on coaching changes in FBS for the 2013 season. Yes, some teams are already planning for next year. It’s that time of year for those teams that don’t make it to a bowl game.
Oregon made it official, naming Mark Helfrich, the team’s former offensive coordinator, as its new head coach to replace Chip Kelly. This was expected, even as the team interviewed other candidates and advertised the opening on their Website.
So 30 – count them – 30 head coaching changes in major college football for the 2013 season. Geez.
Nearly 25 percent of the head coaching jobs in FBS will have different head coaches in 2013. Mind-boggling.
