looking for a head coach.....

Who are your top 3 candidates this year? They could be coordinators or they could be coaches in the non-bcs conferences.....

me?

1. Brain Kelly - Let's face it. Cincy, just because they are in the Big East. Big Whoop. It's still a "small time football" school

2. Todd Graham - Get a solid D-Coor. behind him and this guy could be unstoppable.

3. Chris Peterson - Winner. Winner. Winner. He's 35-3.

Sure, I went on a limb, but it's my list, I can name who I want to.

I think the same could be said for Leach.

1. Brian Kelly
2. Jim Grobe
3. Tuberville with a great recruiting coordinator. Tuberville does more with less then any coach I've seen but I think I would work to get a Kevin Steele or Orgeron type of guy to back him up with the recruiting
3a. Houston Nutt - see above.

The interesting thing about Leach is that he has built that Tech program. He is not coming in with gadgets to buy time. The program has gotten better every year with him.

He would be at the top of my list too, but he is already at a BCS school. Prom didn't say a top 5 BCS school, so I assumed that Davis was out of the running for my school.

Realistically my #2 and #3 were mainly about availability and familiarity (and the fact that I think that, while different, both of those guys get the most out of their players, but both would need some help on the recruiting side). My #1 (again, my list) was the coach I would call first, regardless, if I had a vacancy, or if the coach was looking for a job.

1. Peterson
2. kelley
3. Blakeny from Troy - I know he has some ancient baggage from Auburn days, but to do what he has done at Troy, year after year, the man can coach.

1. Brian Kelly (with a BULLET)
2. Brady Hoke (Ball St. gets a lot done on its level with some pretty bad talent outside of the QB spot)
3. Skip Holtz

Not a big Peterson guy because the Boise system has yet to work at a BCS school (Arizona State, Colorado)
