Figured maybe we can get all our thoughts and discussion in one place. So here goes:

Hired
DePaul - Chris Holtmann (fired at Ohio State)
Louisville - Pat Kelsey (College of Charleston)
Ohio State - Jake Diebler (promoted from interim)
Oklahoma State - Steve Lutz (hired from Western Kentucky)
Michigan - Dusty May (hired from FAU)
SMU - Andy Enfield (hired from USC
Stanford - Kyle Smith (hired from Washington State)
USC - Erik Musselman (Hired from Arkansas)
Vanderbilt - Mark Byington (hired from James Madison)
Washington - Danny Sprinkle (hired from Utah State)
Washington State - David Riley (hired from Eastern Washington)
West Virginia - Darian DeVreis (hired from Drake)

Open (previous coach):
Arkansas - Erik Musselman (hired by USC)

Signed extension:
Chris Beard - Ole Miss
Lamont Paris - South Carolina
Nate Oats - Alabama

Coaches rumored to be on the move (not getting fired, but word is they're looking elsewhere):
Mick Cronin - UCLA
Erik Musselman - Arkansas
Greg McDermott - Creighton

Huge buyouts (you'll probably see these names floated for jobs because of their success but they have buyouts of at least $8M):

• Reminder here that there's two kinds of buyouts, there's what the school owes the coach if they fire him, and what the coach owes the school if he leaves. The former is the one you usually see make articles and listed in the USA Today database, the latter is what matters if you're looking at hiring a coach.

Nate Oats - Alabama ($10M)
Bruce Pearl - Auburn ($8M)
TJ Otzelberger - Iowa State ($9.5M?) (This one is a little hard to calculate because the deal is a little strange, but he supposedly owes Iowa State the remainder of his contract if he leaves)


Moving on up (will probably jump to a high major job this year):
Danny Sprinkle - Utah State
Niko Medved - Colorado State
Dusty May - FAU
Josh Schertz - Indiana State
Darian DeVries - Drake
Amir Abdur-Rahim - South Florida
Pat Kelsey - College of Charleston

Image Rehab (previously fired high major coaches who have found lower level success and could be jumping back up):
Will Wade - McNeese St.
Richard Pitino - New Mexico

Out of the game: Either fired already or previously fired/retired and not currently a head coach:
Chris Holtmann - fired at Ohio State
Jay Wright - retired at Villanova
Mark Turgeon - "stepped down" at Maryland

What did I miss/need to add? Salary and buyout data can be hard to come by for some of these folks so I didn't put much and what I did put could already be dated.

I'm not sure why people think Stackhouse will be let go after this year. He was SEC coach of the year last year and you don't get rid of people with those accolades.
