Summary
Barton Simmons and Chip Patterson break down every coaching change of the 2018-19 offseason. The hires are ranked 1-26 and every ceremonial press conference gets a grade. After getting things rolling with a couple of new faces in the MAC and Tyson Helton's return to WKU (2:40), Les Miles' hire at Kansas is put under the microscope (13:36). That's followed by a spotlight on new hires at UMass (17:37), Texas State (20:54) and Temple (22:37), Mack Brown's return to Chapel Hill (25:49), Chip Lindsey's enthusastic introduction at Troy (30:54), Matt Wells' charm at Texas Tech (42:44) and Jim McElwain's return to ranks of the head coaches at Central Michigan (48:40). Plus, Geoff Collins' fit at Georgia Tech (52:45), Neal Brown channeling Dabo Swinney at West Virginia (58:30), Holgo at Houston (1:03:07), Manny Diaz at Miami (1:07:10) and Hugh Freeze's ceiling with Liberty (1:10:25).
