This won't cover every coaching opening, but I'll try to list out the major conference jobs that are available or have already been filled.
The major conference job openings currently available/recently filled in alphabetical order are:
DePaul: Hired former Ohio St. coach Chris Holtmann, this job is the equivalent of the KU football job prior to Leipold. They haven't made an NCAA Tournament in 20 years and have only had 3 winning seasons in the last 20 years.
Louisville
Michigan
Ohio St.
Oklahoma St.
Stanford
Washington
West Virginia
Two big names off the table as of today are Nate Oats who is signing an extension with Alabama that will make him a top 5 paid coach in all of college basketball and South Carolina coach Lamont Paris who was a common name to tied to a lot of big openings as he also signed an extension with South Carolina today.
Out of the available jobs, Louisville is by far the best opening because they are a basketball first school in a basketball obsessed part of the country. Current Baylor coach Scott Drew is their top choice rumors are there's mutual interest.
Ohio St. and Michigan are in the same tier of job where you can win big at those schools and contend for Final Four's and national titles, but you will also never be the biggest deal on campus. In some ways, that can work to a coaches advantage as it means there's a little less pressure than a place like Louisville, but it also means you don't have the same level of resources either.
FAU coach Dusty May is rumored to the front runner for the Ohio St. job.
Some names to look out for with the Michigan job include Amir Abdur-Rahim from South Florida who won the AAC regular season title this year, Tony Bennett from Virginia whose roots are in the Big 10, Dayton's Anthony Grant, Colorado St. coach Niko Medved, OU's Porter Moser
Oklahoma St. will probably be looking to the mid major ranks based on them having to pay $15 million in buyouts to Boynton's staff.
West Virginia is about the same caliber of job as Oklahoma St. WVU sounds like they're going big game hunting with this search which hasn't always panned out with the school in past coaching searches.
Washington is in an interesting position as they transition to the Big 10. This is a school that's in an area that has quite a bit of talent and has been Final Four caliber in the not to distant past. The two names most connected to this opening are Utah State's Danny Sprinkle who is considered the front runner and BYU's Mark Pope. An interesting dark horse candidate here is Washington State's Kyle Smith which isn't as insane a thought as before now that the two school's will be in difference conferences.
Stanford is going to become an even tougher job now that they're moving the ACC. Kyle Smith is rumored to be an option there as Stanford in the ACC will still be a better job going forward than Washington St. in the WCC is.
Vanderbilt is up there with DePaul in terms of being a very difficult place to win due to academic restrictions and the conference they're located in.
Other major conference jobs that are rumored to potentially be coming available this cycle are Oregon and Florida St. Oregon is reportedly thinking of moving on from Dana Altman after this will be his 3rd straight season of missing the NCAA Tournament. Leonard Hamilton is 75 and FSU has slipped considerably the past 3 seasons. Neither of those jobs is guaranteed to come open at this point, just rumors they potentially could come open. If they do, Oregon would be in the same tier of job as Michigan and Ohio St. and Florida St. would likely be in the same tier as Oklahoma St. and West Virginia.
