Looking at the coaches hot seat rankings. There are a lot of lower tier NCAA coaches out there creating or sustaining success. Any opinions on who gets a sniff from an upper tier program?

Some of these names have been mentioned. Some haven't...I tried to keep the most frequently recurring names out.

George O'Leary UCF CUSA 2011 5-7 2012 9-3

Bill Blankenship Tulsa CUSA 2011 8-5 2012 9-3

Matt Campbell Toledo CUSA 2011 1-0 2012 9-3

Sonny Dykes La Tech. WAC 2011 8-4 2012 9-3

MacIntyre SJ St. WAC 2011 5-7 2012 10-2

Doeren NIU MAC 2011 11-3 2012 11-1

Frank Solich Ohio MAC 2011 10-4 2012 8-4

Rocky Long SD St. MWC 2011 8-5 2012 9-3

Blankenship is a Tulsa guy. Does that mean he wouldn't leave, no, but it makes it less likely.

Solich probably isn't leaving Ohio anytime soon either.

OLeary is too old with too much baggage to be considered very seriously.

O'Leary is possibly the least hireable guy in the country (out of those that don't suck)

Agree with O'Leary. Solich is probably getting a bit old as well, but he has proven himself over the years.

Blankenship could be leaving a lot of $$ on the table, unless Tulsa throws a good bit at him. He is at 800K now.
