Years of Hire for Every Current DI Head Coach (2025 Version)

We're just over a week away from the start of the 2025-26 season. This offseason ended up being a busy one on the coaching front. Eight DI programs will have new head coaches for the season. This year’s coaching carousel started slowly and ended up going into the early fall. With the leaders of each program set, it seemed to be a good time to look back to see when every current DI head coach was hired.
