I'd slit my wrist if we hired 75% of the candidates on that list.

But yea, I think that is a safe bet we get someone on there.

Add Mike Shanahan.

It would be fitting since he was interviewed to be Arnsparger's replacement along with Spurrier and Mack Brown.

Hell, add Mack Brown. Texas might gladly part with him now... but he's gonna retire soon so I guess he's out of the running...

The next coach will be someone from that list, but hopefully none from the top 3.

I again would say Yes to Mullen. If Michigan does land Miles then we should have 1.25 million to help with a buy out on a coach like Mullen. Also, as a poster mentioned earlier Pinkel would not be a bad hire. Me personally, I would not like to see Leach or Pelini, also dont know about Tubbs though I would prefer him over Leach or Pelini.

As long as they don't go after Jimbo, I'm good.

Need Jimbo Fisher on that list. While he just got an extension, it isn't anything out of LSU's reach

I know Mike Belotti is on the market for the right team but haven't heard him mentioned for any schools east of Colorado. He's being mentioned for the Stanford job...

Jimbo would be a big hire but I'm not sure he has proven enough yet. I'd take him personally. He could actually develop our QBs and he is a great recruiter. He is at least shown he is a competent gameday coach and he did improve FSU in his first year...

Pretty sure he really enjoyed it in BR with his tenure down here until he and Les locked horns.

Leach should be removed. Do we even have a shed to lock players in?

Who would want him after all the reports of major recruiting violations while at Tech?
