The 2017 coaching carousel is finally complete.

There are still some changes to be made as programs fill out their staffs, but Arizona’s hiring of Kevin Sumlin signaled the end of the head coaching shifts barring anything crazy. With that done, let’s hand out some grades!

It’s important to remember that I’m grading each school on a curve. Not every program can land the biggest fish and goals/hiring process are different at every place. A coach who can energize a downtrodden program is just as intriguing as a potential national title winner. Things like cultural/regional fits and recruiting prowess also tie into the grades. You won’t see a full breakdown for every coach in those areas, but they were considered.

UCLA – Chip Kelly (A+)

It seems like forever ago when UCLA snagged Kelly. So, if you don’t remember, the Bruins worked the system expertly. They parted ways with Jim Mora a week before the season’s close and shot their shot for the best coach on the open market. Kelly picked UCLA over a number of suitors, and now he’s headed back to college with the benefit of an already-talented Bruins roster. Remember, Kelly is 46-7 overall as a college head coach and is an experienced West Coast recruiter.

Texas A&M – Jimbo Fisher (A)

It took 10 years and $75 million of guaranteed money, but the Aggies got their man in Fisher. That, above all, is a win. No matter how you feel about the contract or the amount A&M spent to make Sumlin go away, this was a huge hire for the program. Fisher is the rarest commodity in college football – a national-championship winning coach. There’s only four of those active in the FBS, and Texas A&M has one. Now, there’s no telling if Fisher can recreate his FSU success in College Station. But that’s not the question when grading this hire. It’s whether Texas A&M gave itself the best chance for future success. To that question, the answer is a definitive yes.

Nebraska – Scott Frost (A)

Arguably the most popular name among up-and-coming coaches, Frost spurned a number of schools for his alma mater. Nebraska, in its current state, wouldn’t normally draw a name like Frost. The 90s seem far away when talking about that program’s status in the college football pecking order. Thankfully for the Huskers, Frost is the type of coach capable of changing that. A personable figure with strong opinions, an excellent track record (13-0 at UCF this past fall) and an exciting offense, Frost is a potential transformative figure for Nebraska. He’s exactly what the Huskers needed, and they weren’t going to do any better.

Florida State – Willie Taggart (A)

Considering the Seminoles lost a national title-winning coach late in the cycle, they couldn’t have done much better, either. In Taggart, Florida State gets a Sunshine State native with deep recruiting ties to the area from his time at South Florida. The Seminoles will also get an updated offensive system with Taggart bringing his “Gulf Coast Offense.” Fisher had a lot of success running his pro-style scheme in Tallahassee, but it had gotten stale without any major adjustments the last few seasons. Taggert will modernize Florida State’s attack. Already shown to be a program builder at Western Kentucky and USF, Taggert should do just fine in Tallahassee.

Florida – Dan Mullen (A)

The last (A) grade you’ll find on this list, Mullen will help turn Florida around in short order. He may not have been the splashiest hire, but Mullen is exactly what the Gators need. He’s 64-39 since 2010 at Mississippi State. Florida, in the same time span, is 60-41. Mullen did all of that with less talent and in a tougher division of the SEC. A national championship-winning assistant with the Gators under Urban Meyer, Mullen also knows what it takes to win in Gainesville. And most importantly, Mullen is the guy to turn Florida’s anemic offense around.

Arizona – Kevin Sumlin (B+)

Those at A&M are probably scratching their heads at this grade, but take a moment to consider Sumlin’s history. He’s won 67 percent of his games as a head coach, including a 66 percent mark at Texas A&M in the SEC. Arizona hasn’t had a coach win more than 62 percent of his games since 1976. Sumlin is a winner in college, and he’ll do so with the Wildcats as well. He inherits one of the best quarterbacks in football in Khalil Tate, and Sumlin’s proven through the years he can scheme around a litany of QB prototypes (from Case Keenum to Johnny Manziel). Fun, random fact: Sumlin’s signed every five-star recruit in the 247Sports Composite from the state of Arizona since 2012.

Mississippi State – Joe Moorhead (B+)

The Bulldogs get a half-a-letter grade bump based on the way they handed the hiring process. Mississippi State lost Mullen, did its research and, within a week, had one of the best offensive minds in the country as a replacement. Moorhead helped transform an offense that ranked 100th nationally in 2015 into a top-6 scoring offense this past season. More so, Moorhead’s already shown he can be a head coach. He helped FCS program Fordham jump from one win to six in his debut season in 2012. The next year, Fordham won 10 straight to open the season. In the end, Moorhead went 38-13 overall as the program’s head coach. Moorhead has different offensive philosophies than Mullen, but he should help the Bulldogs remain potent. The big question is whether Moorhead help Mississippi State retain its momentum by recruiting in the Southeast, an area which Moorhead has no previous ties.

Louisiana – Billy Napier (B+)

Napier is a potential star as a head coach. That’s the type of talent Louisiana – the school formerly known as Lafayette – is banking on. A former Alabama and Clemson assistant, Napier, 38, was so good Arizona State announced it wanted to retain him before hiring Herm Edwards. The Wildcats gave Napier the associate head coach title after one year as OC, and Napier was a big part of Edwards’ plan. Napier is a standout recruiter and his coaching roots – from Dabo Swinney to Nick Saban – are impeccable. A Southeast native, Napier is arriving at a school with big aspirations and the type of recruiting base (Louisiana) where those dreams aren’t too unrealistic. There are no guarantees with a first-year head coach, but this is the type of high-reward hire that should be applauded.

Rice – Mike Bloomgren (B)

This isn’t a flashy hire, but the Owls inked one of the best coaches on the market in Bloomgren. A popular name on the coaching market every year, Bloomgren’s reportedly turned down both college and NFL jobs in the past. Stanford’s offensive coordinator since 2013, Bloomgren brings with him a pro-style system with proven success. It’s a scheme that also separates Rice from everyone else in a state that’s spread-crazy. When you’re a program like Rice, it’s sometimes important to zag when everyone else zigs. Bloomgren inherits a one-win team and will be given time to build. Remember, David Baliff coached the Owls to a pair of 10-win seasons during his 11-year tenure. Rice is a place you can win.

South Alabama – Steve Campbell (B)

Campbell's done nothing but win in his career as a head coach. The only reason you haven't heard of him is because very little of it's happened in the FBS. A D-II national champion at Delta State in 2000, Campbell made quick FBS stops at Middle Tennessee and Mississippi State as a position coach before taking over at Mississippi Gulf Coast Junior College. There, he won a national title in 2007. He took over at Central Arkansas in 2014 and led the Bears to a 33-15 overall record, including 20-5 the last two seasons. Campbell, 51, will bring a wealth of experience to South Alabama. He's a confident head coach and a proven football mind. This should be a stabilizing hire for the Jaguars as they enter their seventh season as an FBS program.

Tennessee – Jeremy Pruitt (B-)

Like Mississippi State, the Vols’ grade was affected half a letter due to the way the hiring process was handled. Tennessee’s grade dropped instead of getting better. The mess of a search aside, the Volunteers made a quality hire in Pruitt. A hard line figure who comes from Nick Saban’s tree, Pruitt is the type of disciplinarian who will get the Volunteers on message quickly. Pruitt is also one of the nation’s top recruiters and a great geographic fit for Knoxville. It’s always a risk for a program of Tennessee’s level to hire a first-time head coach. But considering how the search went at the beginning, the Vols did very well to land Pruitt.

Oregon State – Jonathan Smith (B-)

Remember what I said earlier about Frost? Most of his positive attributes apply to Smith, just without the head coaching track record. A Fiesta Bowl-winning quarterback at Oregon State in 2000, Smith knows what it’s like to win in Corvallis. He’s also an up-and-comer with a strong background having worked under Chris Petersen as Washington’s offensive coordinator since 2014. More so, he’s spent almost his entire coaching career in the Northwest and knows how to recruit the region. Oregon State has a long way to go coming off a 1-11 season. But Smith, in his first head coaching job, seems like an ideal fit to help Oregon State back in the right direction.

Arkansas – Chad Morris (B-)

I really like the Morris hire for Arkansas. Morris will bring with him a spread offense that will differentiate the Razorbacks, ending the silly notion that they could out-beef teams at the line of scrimmage in a division that includes Alabama, LSU and Auburn. Morris also opens the doors to Texas from a recruiting standpoint, something that Bret Bielema struggled with after ill-advised comments early in his tenure. The only thing Morris has yet to prove is if he can take a program to the next level. He inherited an absolute mess at SMU, but his best campaign there was still 7-6 overall in Year 3.

SMU – Sonny Dykes (B-)

Dykes is a proven head coach with a mostly positive track record from his time at Louisiana Tech and California. He will certainly keep SMU’s offense humming. If there’s anything Dykes has done consistently in his career, it’s coach an offense as an Air Raid practitioner. Dykes should be able to recruit in Texas, too. That’s where he’s from, and his ties in the state run deep as a former high school coach there. The real question will be SMU’s defense and Dykes’ ability to address it, something that ultimately cost him his job with the Golden Bears. Dykes hired Kevin Kane away from Northern Illinois, where Kane helped the Huskies jump from 72nd in 2015 to 32nd last season in terms of points allowed per game.

Oregon – Mario Cristobal (B-)

Let’s call the Cristobal hire what it was – a selection of convenience. Taggart put the Ducks in a tough position, and tabbing Cristobal, the team’s OC, was a good way to keep Oregon’s recruiting class and players together. Cristobal is a former head coach at FIU, where he turned one of the FBS’ worst teams into a Sun Belt champion during his tenure. Cristobal is quality hire who will likely continue the momentum Taggart created. But, at the end of the day, this wasn’t the splash move that acquiring Taggart was a year ago. It remains to be seen if Cristobal can help transform the Ducks back into a national contender.

UTEP – Dana Dimel (C+)

This is a case of a program getting exactly what it needed, even if that’s an extra serving of vegetables. UTEP was in need of a steady hand and a program builder. Dimel is that. Bill Snyder’s offensive coordinator at Kansas State since 2009, Dimel knows exactly what consistent success looks like. In fact, his time under Synder dates back to 1989. Dimel hasn’t been a head coach since 2001, but he carried a 30-39 overall record in his career at Wyoming and Houston. UTEP, the only winless FBS program this past season, is in need of consistency. Dimel, after a long tenure under Synder, should be able to provide it.

UCF – Josh Heupel (C+)

The Knights were never going to replace Frost with a coach with Frost’s special mix of talent and personality, but Heupel is a good hire. One of the best offensive coordinators in football, Heupel completely turned around Missouri during his two seasons in Columbia. Missouri ranked 127th nationally in scoring offense the year before Heupel arrived. Last season, the Tigers finished the year at 14th. Heupel isn’t necessarily a splash hire for a program that could’ve easily made one – UCF is the best Group of Five job out there. In fact, the move parallels Houston’s hire of Major Applewhite the year before in many ways – Houston is the co-best Group of Five job. But if Heupel can keep UCF’s momentum going, it doesn’t really matter.

Ole Miss – Matt Luke (C)

The Rebels weren’t going to attract the type of candidates they normally would considering the impending sanctions that hung over the process. Luke, who served as the team’s interim coach in 2017, was a solid hire considering that fact. An alumnus and a leader who’s shown he can pilot Ole Miss through tough times, Luke is an ideal pilot for this era of Ole Miss football. Luke led the Rebels to a 6-6 record in his interim season.

Kent State – Sean Lewis (C)

This is the biggest boom-or-bust hire of the offseason. Lewis only graduated from Wisconsin a decade ago, and now he’s an FBS coach. Already a high school coach in Illinois, a FCS coach and an assistant in the Ohio Valley, MAC and ACC, Lewis has had a rapid rise. He’s a Dino Babers disciple, which means Lewis, 31, will bring the veer-and-shoot offense to Kent State. That system’s worked everywhere it’s gone tracing back to its origin at Baylor with Art Briles. Lewis is certainly young, but he’s the type of bright offensive mind who could energize a Golden Flashes program that hasn’t won more than four games since 2012. There’s certainly risk hiring someone with no head coaching experience, too. But that’s what makes this move so interesting.

Georgia Southern - Chad Lunsford (C)

Lunsford had an extended trial as the Eagles' interim coach after the firing of Tyson Summers midseason, and Georgia Southern liked what it saw. Lunsford only went 2-4 in the interim role, but the Eagles did take big steps forward after an 0-6 start. A Georgia native, Lunsford is well-connected in the area and should be able to recruit well in the talent-rich state.

Arizona State – Herm Edwards (D-)

Let’s run through some quick facts about Edwards: 1. His last head coaching job came in 2008 and ended in his firing after a 2-14 campaign with the Kansas City Chiefs. 2. His last college coaching job came in 1989 as the DB coach at San Jose State. 3. His former agent hired him at Arizona State. So, to summarize, Edwards hasn’t coached in nearly a decade, the kids he’s recruiting were not close to being born the last time he worked in college and the hire was so strange ASU attempted to reinvent the college coaching structure as we know it. Perhaps the Sun Devils are just way ahead of the curve and the rest of us just can’t see it. But, the early returns on that thought aren’t great as both coordinators the Sun Devils expected to keep have departed. Edwards, a former ESPN analyst, came with buzz. But a lot of that was negative. It'll be fascinating to see what happens.
