Coaches
Only one team changed head coaches for the 2015 season. Pat Narduzzi was selected as Pittsburgh's fifth head coach since 2010 following the resignation of former coach Paul Chryst. Chryst accepted the head coaching job at Wisconsin on December 17, 2014 leaving the vacancy for Pittsburgh to fill.[5] This will be Narduzzi's first head coaching job at the collegiate level. He has, however, been regarded as one of the best assistant coaches in college football, winning the 2013 Broyles Award.[6] He was most recently the defensive coordinator at Michigan State.

Al Golden Firing
On October 25, Miami athletic director Blake James fired head coach Al Golden, just over halfway through the season.[7] The firing came after a 58-0 loss to Clemson, the worst loss in program history.[8] Throughout the season, parts of the Miami fan base, and even former players, had been very vocal in calling for a head coaching change. In each home game, and even a game at Cincinnati, planes had been hired to fly banners over the stadium on gameday reading "Fire Al Golden".[9] The tight ends coach, Larry Scott, took over interim head coaching duties for the remainder of the season.[10]
