Movin' on up
Here are some head coaches expected to be in the mix for bigger jobs in 2015.
9. Justin Fuente, Memphis: He has made Memphis a Top 25 program. Think about that. Combine that with a pedigree from working under TCU's Gary Patterson and it makes for a sizzling combination. Expect Fuente to be linked with plenty of ACC and SEC jobs.
12. Doc Holliday, Marshall: He interviewed at Pittsburgh last year after the Herd finished 13-1. Holliday's specialty for decades was recruiting in Florida, which means he'd be on Miami's list or could be the coach who unlocks the potential of USF. He'd be the most logical fit if the West Virginia job opened.
16. Brian Polian, Nevada: He needs to continue progressing at Nevada after going 4-8 and 7-6 in his two seasons there. His experience as an assistant working at Notre Dame, Texas A&M and Stanford makes him a viable candidate in a lot of geographic areas.
19. Matt Rhule, Temple: The Owls are a trendy sleeper pick in the American Athletic Conference. Rhule is a bright young coach who will jump on people's radar this year.
Making the jump
Here are 15 of the top assistant coaches and coordinators expected to be in the mix for jobs this spring (listed alphabetically).
4. Mario Cristobal, Alabama assistant head coach: His firing at Florida International remains one of the most baffling administrative decisions of the past decade. Three years working under Nick Saban has only polished his résumé. Expect USF and Miami to show interest.
Next level
Here are five top FCS coaches poised to move up in 2015 (listed alphabetically).
4. Bo Pelini, Youngstown State: If Bobby Petrino can land back in the ACC, there's a chance Pelini can catapult from Youngstown State to a solid job. He may be gruff, but a 70 percent winning percentage at Nebraska is hard to ignore.
