If we consider Woodward a buffoon we aren’t using good sense so let’s proceed with what looks more likely. Our coach has been secured. The evidence for this is strong. Our coach is yet to be announced which means he is currently coaching somewhere and needs to keep it quiet.

Therefore, the five top possibilities in my opinion as to likelihood:

1. Saban
2. Meyer
3. Rhule
4. Aranda
5. Swinney

Any of these are a great hire. There could be others but reason leads us to these. Enjoy your week.

There you’re gonna love it guy has to be on this list if we are talking about one guy. A package deal with Herman or Brady as OC opens up people like Campbell and Petersen. In no world is stoops okay though. Don’t care who he brings with him.

Has not been contacted or interviewed. That has been expressed multiple times by multiple people.
We have got to stop putting his name out there.

It's Tomlin.

That is one possibility. The other possibility that people are immediately jumping to is that we have to regroup because we got played by Riley. For some reason our fanbase always go to the worst case. I’m choosing to believe your possibility until proven otherwise.

Yep. The first criteria is PROVEN coach at a major college program or better. One good year at Baylor just isn’t close to enough.

There really aren't many guys out there that fit this, unless you REALLY stretch "proven" or "major"

Campbell has only had one great year

Stoops has had no great years in a weak SEC east

Fickell is at Cinci so his run there wouldn't count

If options 1-3 are the guy, those won’t be announced until later — much later.

For reference: Saban wasn’t announced as Bama’s new coach until the day of the Sugar Bowl when LSU stomped a mud hole in ND.

You lost all of your credibility with the Saban list.

Really bad move to limit yourself to that.

I agree that Aranda as a HC is still unknown but his time at LSU keeps him in the mix.

The Riley to USC deal is not something that surpised LSU. I suspect they knew this 2 weeks ago when things were hot and heavy with Riley/LSU talk. This is why things got really quiet right after. USC had grabbed Riley at that point. LSU knew 2 weeks ago that he wasn't coming. I think SW knew as soon as USC stepped into the ring LSU wasn't getting him.
USC deal was done 2 weeks ago at best and they held off announcing to see what OU would go to Big12 title game. It would probably be delayed more if they had won the Big12 title.

Kiffin isn’t a possibility at this time if you use deductive reasoning. Unproven, shoots from the hip, has previous question marks that all indicate a high possibility of flaming like O.

If this is the case, then Scotty would have been smart to leak to Delly or another friendly reporter to tamp down the Riley rumors. Instead, the perception is that we whiffed.

This could easily hurt him more than help bc Woody would really
Know where he lacks. hearing that he isn’t a candidate tells us a lot.
