With Mike Sanford now official at Western Kentucky and Geoff Collins at Temple, every FBS job has been filled and the coaching carousel has ceased spinning ... for now. NFL coaching searches can change that quickly, as jobs become open and some of the top names at Power Five schools enter consideration for jobs at the next level.

With the Los Angeles Rams in the market for a new coach, Peter King addressed their search over at Monday Morning Quarterback with three names to watch from college football. Arguably the most important development, for Michigan fans, was King's confirmation that Harbaugh was not going to be coaching the Rams -- though he stopped short of calling those reports "lies made up by Michigan's enemies."

According to King, the names to watch for pro interest include Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, Wisconsin's Paul Chryst and Colorado's Mike MacIntyre.

As Dak Prescott's star continues to rise in Dallas, it reflects well on Mullen's work with him at Mississippi State. The school did not have a contract extension to announce following the 2015 season (something it had done nearly every other season since Mullen's arrival) but is reportedly working on one now.

"I don't like commenting on other jobs. I've had several schools reach out to me this year," Mullen told the Clarion-Ledger earlier this month. "I'm very happy at Mississippi State, and I think we're working on an extension for me to stay there."

King has Chryst pegged as an under-the-radar candidate with Wisconsin's current success and the success of one-time Badgers quarterback Russell Wilson (Chryst was the OC) on his resume. MacIntyre makes this list not only for the work in Boulder this season -- which also resulted in CBS Sports Coach of the Year honors -- but because he coached under Bill Parcells in Dallas.

David Shaw is also addressed in the report, but it sounds like the Stanford head coach is not in a rush to return to the NFL, where he was an assistant from 1997-2005 with the Eagles, Raiders and Ravens.
