There honestly isn't a candidate our fans wont melt about. Let's start from the biggest achievement a resume could have. A Natty. Five active coaches have this achievement on their resume.

We literally don't want any of them

Nick Saban- Non Starter

Dabo- Goofy clown. His crap only works in a weird,backward place like Clemson where they can drop bags through a mega church which plays into the whole program image they have there.

Jimbo- Literally nobody wants him on this board. The melt would be huge.

Ed O- We literally just shite canned a guy with a Natty because he was a high functioning moron ever since his divorce.

Mac Brown- Lol no.

So with that out of the way, there are literally no candidates that could "guarantee" a National Championship because none of the remaining candidates have done it.

James Franklin- Has a decent resume, but the majority here seem to think he probably isn't elite because he performs poorly against top Big 10 competition.

Mel Tucker- I actually think he has the most upside of any of the candidates being floated around. Do a deep dive on him past the wins and losses and I think he would for sure be more successful than Miles or Shrimp Boat Captain here. However no Coach with a 15-12 career record should honestly be on our list. We may derp ourselves into a good hire with him, but objectively he shouldn't be on the list of tier 1 candidates. With that said I truly think he'd do well here. I say this as someone who despises Critical Race Theory, and all this woke BS. Which is the main reason he's getting a look. As stated above we'd be derping into a good hire.

Dave Aranda- I think this is probably the best fit here, regardless of HC experience because lets be honest, he was running the show ever since 2016. He knows the place, the expectations. Our fans would melt like hell though because we didn't hire some mythical grand slam coach.

Lane Kiffin- He would have insanely good offenses here, would no doubt have success. However he's been flaky his entire career. Would be a meme of a coach, like we've been having since Saban left. No doubt half the fanbase would implode over this hire

Joe Brady- On the surface appears to be a slam dunk, but beyond that. He has zero HC experience, doesn't really like recruiting, and would perhaps bolt for an NFL gig one day. His panthers offenses are middle of the pack, but his personnel kind of sucks. It's hard to say how much of 2019 was him, and how much was Joe Burrow. This is the most polarizing hire because he could create a dynasty or fail spectacularly. It's the most exciting, but least safe hire. A ton of fans would melt.

Bill O'Brien- The melt would be so epic I won't even go into it

Billy Napier- Would probably do quite well here. But it's so common to see these hotshot G5 guys implode at major programs. Would be a major melt hire because we stooped down and hired a G5 Coach.

Bob Stoops- They would have to shut down Tigerdroppings

Luke Fickell- Would honestly probably have the least melt. He's not coming here, and if he did. He would probably bolt to Ohio St if Ryan Day ever left.

There's literally not one candidate out there, that is not going to cause a MAJOR FREAKING MELTDOWN brace yourselves for it. No matter who we hire. We will melt BIGLY because there isn't some mythical grand slam candidate short of Nick Saban coming back as a benevolent savior.

Whoever the next guys is, will probably win a Natty because the last two morons did it. So lets all just enjoy the ride.
