The Coaching Carousel has begun...

Well its that time of year again, folks. As the underachieving teams of college basketball start wrapping up their lowly seasons, several unfortunate head coaches will get the axe.

The first coach in the SEC to officially be let go is Auburn's Jeff Lebo. Lebo was only 96-93 overall during his six seasons at Auburn, and the Tigers never made the NCAA tournament under his leadership. Auburn will have to buy out the remainder of his contract for $1.5 million.

This will be the first of many coaching changes over the weeks ahead, and it's always interesting to see how these things shake out before the end of the spring recruiting period. As Auburn begins their search, let me be the first to throw out a name... Billy Clyde, baby.

More later...
