Steve Godfrey SBnation.com said:
Here's who we're hearing is interesting in taking your program to the next level.

1. The Back The Truck Up dream coach you deserve: This is [your university], dammit. Before you even think of calling any of these other candidates, you get out that dang checkbook, you sit down in front of the most accomplished and least interested NFL or college head coach, and you make him say no.

2. Chip Kelly.

3. The overqualified native son: It doesn't matter if he's coaching a Playoff team right now. MAMA'S CALLIN'. You love your school beyond rational thought and believe any former player should abandon stable career paths to come running in this time of need. (Except he only played ball there so he could get out of that backwater state, and now the sight of your never-satisfied death cult of a fan base terrifies him.)

7. The coach your athletic director personally loves: He was a graduate assistant at that one school when your current A.D. was an underling in the marketing department. Those two really hit it off. They believe in the same philosophy. They get each other. Their goals match. They moved a body that one night, and each is confident the other hasn't spoken of it, because that's the kind of shared vision for success we're talking about.


This is Ron Zook... to a T. No qualifying experience, bit firends w AD from undergrad.

1. I have seen some people here suggest offering Saban $20 million or something like that a year.
.
2. Chip Kelly of course (I am a bit surprised the author did no say Gruden as that is a longer running saga.)

3. Maybe Mularkey, but his name has not come up that much this time around.

4. Frost

5. Bob Stoops

6. Muschamp when UF hired him.

7. I agree that this was Zook.

8. Neal Brown of Troy?

9. Chizic

10. Gruden

11. Spurrier maybe?

12. Nutt, but shouldn't he be like 100?

#3 is hard for us, but Harbaugh to Michigan?

Mike Mularkey is our NFL coach but he’s doing pretty well at the moment and isn’t an ex yet.

Another under qualified native son (but we never hear about) is Brian Schottenheimer.
