1. Jon Gruden
2. Charlie Strong
3. Gary Patterson
4. Butch Davis
5. Jim Tressel

From what I understand, this is the order of preference. Confirmed that Tennessee has contacted the first 4 through intermediaries.

I don't get why Jim Leavitt's name isn't showing up more for the bigger jobs out there.... dude's resume is 2nd to none (with the possible exception of Petrino, but he's not a realistic option for most programs).

He's got some baggage, but USF settle with him which suggests he was let go w/o just cause.

Is Tressel still under show cause? If not he would be a no brainier. Dude can recruit and coach.

Call me crazy, but Charlie Weis could go a long way with Bray.

Ok, can we have the real list?

We aren't hiring an NCAA mess, and the same politics that led us to pass over Strong before are still there.

Butch Davis, no way Gruden goes to Tenn. Strong to Auburn, and Saban to Dallas or cleveland.

Davis and Tressel have too much baggage to take over a team with two additional years of probation.
