Arkansas fans don't think much of him. How about Pitt's defensive coordinator?

Gets more out of less talent than any DC in the country.

What about Wally Burnham from USF?

I particularly like the first three on the list. I had forgotten about VanGorder, but if Tenuta doesn't pan out, I hope he would get some serious consideration; the guy is pretty intense come gametime.

I'll take Tenuta, please.

Coach O is a clown. In a press conference before the LSU game he said "Players come to Ole Miss to beat LSU." Didn't say to win SEC championships or NC. Wasn't that successful recruiting while at Ole Miss. The 3 five star recruits he had were Brent Schaeffer (JC), Jerrell Powe (can't read), and Michael Oher (star). All other recruits were mainly JC players and a few highly toughted recruits. Im sure its difficult earning the reputation as a great recruiter at USC.

I don't think Muxchanp should be on anyone's list of realistic possibilities. He's already dond a stint as LSU's DC. Why would anyone as young and as marketable as he is, and with higher aspirations for his career than being a college DC, take a step backwards. And note, I didn't say down, nobody would argue that moving to LSU from Auburn is a step down. But it would be a step back, and in any career that's a bad move.

Mike London from Virginia deserves a serious look.

Revived Virginia's defense this year.
Position coach for Chris Long.
NFL Experience.
Former recruiting coordinator with 3 nationally ranked recruiting classes.
