This thread will be used for tracking all open coaching jobs, and all of those jobs as they are filled. If anyone has information on a new job coming open, any updates on an ongoing coaching search, or finds out a job has been filled, please feel free to start a new thread on the opening/filled position. If there is a thread already out there, don't hesitate to add your info. We're all glad to hear it.

I will link the thread for each open/filled job to streamline your searching.

Water cooler talk with a head football coach from somewhere around Kentucky:

"I think you are about to see a load of jobs come open this year. I'm talking - I'm gonna go ahead and call it...55-60 [jobs]."

The state has averaged 42 football jobs turning over per offseason over the last 7 years.

I believe Edmonson Co. is open as well.

Did they give any indication as to why?

I’m guessing because the previous year schools were probably hesitant to let anyone go after the covid season. Purely speculation. 

As of today, January 18th, we've got 35 jobs that have opened up, and 20 of those programs have made their new hires.

February 14, 2015: 42 jobs in the state that had come open, and 24 of them had been filled already. State-wide there was a total of 54 jobs that turned over that year.

February 14, 2016: 24 jobs in the state that had come open, and 12 of them had been filled already. State-wide there was a total of 43 jobs that turned over that year.

February 14, 2017: 25 jobs that had come open, and 17 of them that had been filled already. State-wide there was a total of 40 jobs that turned over that year.

February 14, 2018: 22 jobs that had come open, and 10 of them that had been filled already. State-wide there was a total of 35 jobs that turned over that year.

February 14, 2019: 27 jobs that had come open, and 20 of them had been filled already. State-wide there was a total of 41 jobs that turned over that year.

February 14, 2020: 30 jobs that had come open, and 19 of them had been filled already. State-wide there was a total of 37 jobs that turned over last year.

February 14, 2021: 23 jobs that had come open, and 13 of them had been filled already. State-wide there was a total of 43 jobs that turned over last year.

February 14, 2022: 41 jobs have come open, and 29 of them have been filled already.

So typically speaking, by Valentine's Day, we've seen roundabout 2/3 of the jobs that will eventually come open be listed.

It's hard telling whether Carroll County's job is legitimately open or not right now, but that notwithstanding, Jackson County is the only football coaching job that is verifiably open right now.

Bump.
