Schools With New Coaches

cloverleaf · Jun 29, 2016

There will be 26 new coaches in Division I football this season. Thirteen of these
coaches will be first timers with no experience at the head level. I'm listing the
schools by conference and how I think they will do this season. The Pac 12 is the
only conference with all head coaches returning.

ACC: Miami, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Syracuse
AAC: East Carolina, Tulane, Central Florida
Big 10: Illinois, Maryland, Rutgers
Big 12: Baylor, Iowa State
SEC: Georgia, South Carolina
CUSA: Southern Miss, UTSA, New Mexico
MAC: Toledo, Bowling Green, Ball State
MWC: Hawaii
INDP: BYU

Possible 10 win seasons: Miami, Toledo and Southern Miss.
Possible 2 win seasons: Hawaii, New Mexico, Syracuse, Central Florida, Rutgers.

Welcome your comments.................................

..........during 2015 there were 15 schools with new head coaches. They combined
for a 89-99 won/loss record with Houston's Tom Harman going 12-1 and Kansas'
David Beaty going winless.

There were 7 coaches with winning records and 7 coaches with losing records. One
coach went 6-6. I have not broken these down against the spread at this time.

UL-Monroe and Memphis also have new coaches. ULM hired guy from McNeese State and Memphis hired Arizona State's OC, Mike Norvell to replace Fuente

You are correct RT...thanks.

Let me add La-Monroe to the list for a possible 2 win season. Memphis will also be way down this year.

Did Bob Davie leave New Mexico? I couldn't find anything on the web to indicate that he is no longer there coaching. The last report was that he accepted a two year extension.

No, neither Bob Davie (New Mexico) or Doug Martin (New Mexico State) were replaced.

I've got to get my desk organized...too much clutter. Thanks Mr. C.
