Sunday was one of the wildest days of college football coaching changes in recent memory.

There's the obvious change that's flooded social media with no end in sight: Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin left his former team in dramatic manner, taking the head spot with the LSU Tigers. 

But that overshadowed something even more noteworthy: three American Conference coaches were scooped up to Power Four schools in a matter of hours. 

Tulane Green Wave head coach Jon Sumrall is taking the leap to the SEC, as he's set to take over the Florida Gators. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a coach who has found immense success with the Green Wave, and before that, with the Troy Trojans in the Sun Belt. Sumrall is reportedly set to make $7.5 million per year over a six year period. 

Sumrall's case might be a bit different than most, as he will remain in Uptown through the remainder of the season despite already committing to Florida. Tulane Athletic Director David Harris shared a message on X on Sunday afternoon, saying that he has agreed to give Sumrall the opportunity to lead the Green Wave in the American Conference Championship Game and -- potentially -- the College Football Playoff.

Additionally, Sunday morning brought coaching news for the Auburn Tigers and the Arkansas Razorbacks. What do these SEC schools have in common? Both selected coaches out of the American! 

Arkansas broke the first news of the day by announcing the hiring of Memphis Tigers coach Ryan Silverfield on a five-year, $33.5 million deal. Minutes later, South Florida Bulls' skipper Alex Golesh was announced as the next coach on the Plains in Auburn. Neither coach will finish out a postseason bowl appearance with their respective teams.

This trio of coaches joins Eric Morris as American Conference coaches who have made the jump this season. Morris, who helped lead the North Texas Mean Green to an historic season, will take over as the next coach of the Oklahoma State Cowboys. However, he'll finish out this season with UNT, as the team is set to take on Tulane in the American championship with a CFP spot up for grabs.

There seem to be two different ways to look at this coaching turnover. On one hand, it might be disappointing to see so many promising coaches with electric programs leaving so soon. On the other hand, it shows that the American Conference is steadily growing. Countless teams within the conference have made an impact and are only getting stronger. 

These coaches aren't just last, desperate picks for teams that have no options -- they are sought after and fought for. That's a testament to the quality of football within the American, and just how attractive many head coaching jobs within it are.
