If you thought the coaching carousel was already getting out of hand, hold on to your butts because it could spin out of control, according to Brian Jones of CBS Sports Radio.

A former Texas linebacker in the early '90s, Jones recently touched on a number of potential coaching changes in the works for three elite college football programs. 

Jones' sources confirmed the hot-seat rumors for LSU head coach Les Miles:

That was just the tip of the iceberg. Jones believes two of the biggest jobs in college football could become open this offseason, suggesting Texas head coach Charlie Strong could indeed bolt for opening at Miami:

If Strong does leave the Longhorns hanging, Jones believes Texas will make another run at the white whale, Alabama head coach Nick Saban:

From the NFL to Austin, to staying in Tuscaloosa with arguably the best roster in college football; it appears Saban may have his pick of the three as soon as the season ends. Rest assured, someone will be breaking out the checkbook sooner or later for Saban's services.
