Group 5 coaches
Napier
Fickell

Coaches mentioned who haven’t been to or won a Championship as a HC

Mark Stoops
Dave Aranda
Matt Rhule
Joe Brady
Mel Tucker
Matt Campbell
Marcus Freeman
Dave Clawson
Bill O’Brien
James Franklin
PJ Fleck
Jamey Chadwell

Coaches who have/has issues real or perceived:
Lane Kiffin
Urban Meyer
Jon Gruden

Coaches names floated out as a smoke screen;
Jimbo Fisher
Lincoln Riley

This leaves the actual candidates of of which I firmly believe one is already been secured:

Chris Petersen
Bob Stoops
Dabo Swinney
Brian Kelly
Nick Saban (for the dreamers)
Mack Brown
Kirby Smart
Doug Pederson*

Doug Pederson isn’t presently coaching has won a championship as a college player, as a NFL player and as a NFL HC and played college football at ULM and coached Calvary in Shreveport.

I’ve been saying all along I thought it was Chris Petersen but I think it’s Doug Pederson
He is a Jay Johnson type coach but with Kim Mulkey Resume

You should reverse that list or least change to-

Real Chance
Napier

Old and not coming
Peterson - as a special needs son and said he is done
Stoops - is 61

It's not BoB and it's not Mark Stoops.

Either of those would be really bad hires.

I don't think it's Fickell, I don't think it's Kelly.

I don't think it's Rhule, Joe Brady either.

I don't think it's Kiffin, Franklin, Tucker, Petersen, Bob Stoops, Jimbo, Cristobal.

I don't see it being any of these guys.

Actually you could put Saban in there too.

I really don't think it's Dabo and I don't think it's Venables. I saw that brought up on here.

I think it's down to Riley, Aranda.......... Napier. In that order.

But that's just me.
