Golesh is about impressive as you can get for a guy that has only won 58% of his games

First call - Saban. Not to offer the job, but get his input and ask him to recommend or put feelers out.

I'm starting to be intrigued by Brent Keys. Doing well for Ga Tech and 7-1 vs ranked ACC opponents (ACC, I know! But still). Throw in that he spent three years coaching under Saban. Interesting candidate.

No Clark Lea? Also worked under Kelly.

Coukd go the Gerry DiNardo route again. His teams remind me of Elko’s. Hard nosed and well coached.

Will stein is another guy I'd look at.

Former qb. Has a fun offense and can coach qbs.

Keys would be good. What he has done at Ga Tech has been very impressive.

Bama fans wanted to fire DeBoer after the FSU game. Now look at them now.

Every person in the know until coaching circles raves about Sumrall. The wat he coaches. His attention to detail, relentless work ethic and great coach. He should be the guy

I'd be happy with Sumrall or Key. I don't see Kiffin happening.

BK was only 70% at LSU. I say close enough. Bring him in!

It’s all a crapshoot, but Sumrall seems about as good of a bet as any. I would rather take a chance with him than take a chance with Kiffin.

I actually worked with Sumrall when he was a LB coach. Dude is a stud. Some guys just have “it”. I think he’d kill it here.
