The Early List
This is all speculative. Too early to see where this is heading in terms of candidates.
https://tags-sport-world.fandom.com/wiki/2022_NCAA_Division_I_FCS_football_coaches Look at where these FCS head coaches come from. I took the CAA for example. Since the $$$ will be available and we play well (my guess is at least $400,000), we can also get a current FCS coach. Tough to get an FBS coordinator unless it's Group of Five, since the P5 guys are making high six figures and low 7s. Colonial Athletic Association
