College Football Coaching Carousel: Colorado State Has 'Focused Its Sights' on Butch Jones

Now that the College Football Playoff rankings are out and bowl games have been announced, the coaching carousel has been put into motion.

Larger hirings have already taken place, including Lane Kiffin to Ole Miss and Mike Norvell to Florida State, but much is left to be sorted out.

Here are the latest college football coaching carousel rumors:

Colorado State has "focused its sights" on former Tennessee coach and current Alabama staffer Butch Jones for its head coaching vacancy. Jones had two nine-win seasons throughout his five years in Knoxville, but he struggled in 2017, winning only four games, and was fired before the end of the season. His record, however, is 84-54 throughout multiple head coaching stops. (Bruce Feldman, The Athletic)
