ESPN - The 2025 college football coaching carousel got off to an early start with a pair of firings DeShaun Foster at UCLA and Brent Pry at Virginia Tech -- just three weeks into the season.

The carousel picked up serious momentum with Penn State’s dismissal of James Franklin following Week 7, when the Nittany Lions -- a preseason favorite to contend for the national championship fell to 3-3 with their third loss in a row. Another big job opened after Week 8, when Florida fired Billy Napier, and again after Week 9, when Brian Kelly was shown the door at LSU.

Things really picked up steam with the end of the regular season, headlined by Lane Kiffin (finally) deciding to leave Ole Miss to replace Kelly at LSU.

Also, Michigan’s Sherrone Moore was fired after two seasons as Michigan’s head football coach last Wednesday after the school said it had discovered an inappropriate relationship with Moore and a staffer. Not long after Moore was fired, he was detained after police responded to an alleged assault call. Moore’s arraignment is expected soon.

Below is a list of every vacancy in the FBS, along with jobs that have been filled.

James Madison

Out: Bob Chesney (20-4, two seasons) | Hired by UCLA on Dec. 1 Chesney led JMU to an 11-1 record and a No. 19 ranking in the final regular-season AP poll, although he will coach the team through the postseason. He is 131-51 overall as a college head coach over 16 seasons at all levels. Prior to joining the Dukes, he led Holy Cross to four of the six FCS playoff appearances in school history, reaching four in a row from 2019 through 2022.

Coastal Carolina

Out: Tim Beck (20-18, three seasons) | Fired Nov. 30 Beck was fired a day after the Chanticleers ended the regular season with a 59-10 loss to James Madison, which dropped their record to 6-6 and extended a three-game losing streak. Coastal went 8-5 in Beck’s first season in 2023 before backsliding to 6-7 last fall. He twice went 5-3 in Sun Belt play.

Tulane

Out: Jon Sumrall (19-7, two seasons) | Hired by Florida on Nov. 30 Sumrall, 43, is 42-11 in four seasons as a head coach -- two in the Sun Belt at Troy and two in the American at Tulane. He has reached the conference title game in all four seasons. The Green Wave are 10-2 and have clinched a spot in the American Conference championship game against North Texas.

South Florida

Out: Alex Golesh (2315, three seasons) | Hired by Auburn on Nov. 30 Golesh led the Bulls to a 9-3 record this season, their best record since 2017. South Florida opened the season with wins over Boise State and Florida and rose to No. 18 in the AP Top 25 during a 6-1 start.

Memphis

Out: Ryan Silverfield (50-25, six seasons) | Hired by Arkansas on Nov. 30 Silverfield, 46, had been at Memphis since 2016 and was promoted to head coach in December 2019 after Mike Norvell’s departure to Florida State. He coached Memphis in the Cotton Bowl that year and won eight or more games in four of his six full seasons with the Tigers.

UConn

Out: Jim Mora (27-23, four seasons) | Hired by Colorado State on Nov. 26 Mora is coming off backto- back nine-win seasons at UConn, a school that hadn’t had a nine-win football season since 2007. Mora led UConn to three bowl seasons in his four years there; the school had been to only one bowl game in the previous 11 years.

North Texas

Out: Eric Morris (21-15, three seasons) | Hired by Oklahoma State on Nov. 25 Under Morris, North Texas has the country’s No. 1 offense at 503.3 yards per game this year. The Mean Green have scored at least 50 points in six games this season. Morris had emerged as a hot coach on the landscape because of his extensive history of identifying and developing star quarterbacks, most recently Drew Mestemaker.

Cal

Out: Justin Wilcox (4855, nine seasons) | Fired Nov. 23 Wilcox was dismissed after the Golden Bears lost 31-10 to rival Stanford, a game in which Cal was favored. The loss dropped Cal to 6-5 on the season, which marked the third straight year it reached bowl eligibility. Cal is in its second season in the ACC, and Wilcox was just 5-10 in league play.

Penn State

Out: James Franklin (104-45, 12 seasons) | Fired Oct. 12 Franklin’s fall was stunning and swift, beginning with the type of big-game loss (Oregon) that came to define his Penn State tenure and continuing with two other losses (against major underdogs UCLA and Northwestern) that did not. Just like that, Franklin’s tenure of 11-plus years at Penn State was over within the same calendar year as the Nittany Lions reached the cusp of the national championship game only to fall to Notre Dame in a CFP semifinal.

Oregon State

Out: Trent Bray (5-14, two seasons) | Fired Oct. 12 Bray was dismissed with the Beavers winless in their first seven games. It was the worst start for Oregon State since 1991, when it started 0-10. Bray, an all-Pac-12 player at Oregon State in 2005, was promoted to head coach after Jonathan Smith left for Michigan State following the 2023 season.

UAB

Out: Trent Dilfer (9-21, three seasons) | Fired Oct. 12 Dilfer, a 14-year NFL quarterback, was fired after UAB lost its third straight game, 53-33 at Florida Atlantic, to fall to 2-4 on the season. Dilfer was a surprising choice to take over the Blazers following the 2022 season. He had never coached in college and his only experience had come during a highly successful four-year stint at Lipscomb Academy, a private high school in Nashville, Tennessee, from 2019 to 2022.
