Once upon a time, Pete Nakos wrote about Clemson for On3 when the network first began covering the Tigers.

Nakos has risen to the top tier of breaking-news coverage in college football, using his work ethic and vast array of connections to be on top of just about all the developments during a chaotic time in college athletics.

Nakos lives in the Nashville area and commutes to the On3 offices every day.

He gives his thoughts on the current state of the coaching industry, and a likely unprecedented number of openings during this coaching cycle.

Could there be a vacancy out there that catches the eye of Dabo Swinney? Nakos says don't rule it out.
