Now up to 10 schools as of Wednesday morning (that I know of). Hillsdale and Wingate added, and both were retirements that named their successors in the press releases.

If I'm missing one, send me the press release and I'll add it

[AlexTheHAMMER]

In our post-Thanksgiving check, two schools opened up. SW Oklahoma (who had an interim head coach all season) and Lake Erie (which has not made a press release, but is on Fotballscoop.com) also added

12 schools now

[AlexTheHAMMER]

Our highest profile coaching change of the year is now reflected. Pitt State's Brian Wright was hired away by FCS Northern Arizona. Quickly filled by Tom Anthony.

15 positions, 11 still open as of December 4

[AlexTheHAMMER]

Took a break for finals week. Now up to 18 positions, 6 filled (12 still open) as of December 19

Benedict and Lincoln (MO) have openings as well.

Thank you! I also went through previous d2 ticker newsletters and there were a few in last night's email.

By my tracking, 21 changes, 8 still open (13 filled)

I saw on FootballScoop University of Mary posted their defensive coordinator position at a salary on $65K. Is that on par? I really have no idea what coordinators make in D2.

Pitt's DC made 75k in 2022, so it doesn't seem super out of line.

[AlexTheHAMMER]

Tusculum slipped under my nose, and two were filled since my last update.

22 changes, 15 filled (7 still open)

[AlexTheHAMMER]

One addition with Tiffin filling up

22 changes, 16 filled (6 still open)

[SW_Mustang]

Former University of Sioux Falls HC (NSIC now, GPAC then) Kalen DeBoer is reportedly in negotiations to become HC of the University of Alabama.

Probably not the intent of the thread, but I figured I'd share it here.

GSC

West Georgia ~ Joel Taylor

UWG moved to FCS.

UWG moved to FCS.

I for some reason thought they had another year in the GSC before jumping to D1. Thanks for catching that
