Among the coaches we hear have been discussed at the highest levels in West Lafayette are: Neal Brown, Butch Jones, Skip Holtz, Tony Elliott, Matt Canada and Mike Norvell.

Butch Jones – In three seasons at Central Michigan, Jones won two conference championships. In three seasons at Cincinnati, Jones won two conference championships. In four seasons at Tennessee, following Derek Dooley and facing Nick Saban each year, Jones was not able to win two conference championships, but his teams never lost a game to a non-bowl eligible team and in Years 2-4 his teams finished ranked in the Top 25 each year and won their bowl game. A year on Nick Saban’s staff certainly hasn’t been a bad thing either.
