Mike Tressel - Has built some great Defenses at Mich St & consistently has one of the best Run Defenses in the nation (ranked #1 this year) annually despite the limitations of their program being behind Oh St, Mich & Penn St as far as resources & recruiting in the B1G.
Lance Anderson - One of the best in the business and usually has Stanford's Defense stout playing against high powered Pac-12. Plus, understands how to recruit well at a school with difficult academic requirements & limited schollys.
Danny Gonzalez - Young upcoming DC that killed at SD St, they had 49INT's in 2 years under him & helped turn around AZ ST's Defense this year with Herm Edwards. He runs a 3-3-5 (but I would still consider him)
Jimmy Lake - Another young guy who's done a great job at Wash with Chris Petersen, this season was his 1st year at DC for them (was DB coach before) & currently has them at the #12th ranked Defense, so I doubt he would even be interested.
Mike Macdonald - LB coach for the Ravens, was with Richt at UGA as a GA from 2011-13. Is from Roswell Georgia & coached HS at Cedar Shoals. Don't even think he's interested in going back to college, but Richt gave him his first job as a Grad assistant maybe he'll offer him a pay raise & a chance to be a DC (if interested). And as a Ravens fan I would love to see it happen, but I don't actually believe it will.
Bob Shoop - DC/Safeties Coach at Miss St, currently has them with the #1 scoring Defense (meaning they've given up the least amount of points this season) & #3 Total Defense. Has a good resume with stints at Tenn, Penn St & Vandy.
Bert Watts - DC/LB coach for Fresno St, young upcoming DC that has surprisingly made Fresno St a pretty good Defense. They're 2nd in scoring Defense, 3rd in Defensive TD's, 17th in Total Defense, tied for 12th in turnovers & tied for 5th in INT's. He coached at Bartram Trail & Bishop Kenny back in 08-09, and had a brief stint with the Broncos in 2012. Was DC at UC Davis for 3 years as well.
Vic Koenning - DC/Safeties coach for Troy, is apart of that very good staff that Neal Brown has assembled. Currently has Troy ranked 10th in Sacks & TFL's & 6th in INT's. Was at Clemson from 05-08, KSU from 08-12 & UNC from 2012-2015.
Matt House - DC/LB Coach at Kentucky, had previous stints in the NFL with the Rams/Panthers & was at Pitt & FIU before becoming Kentucky's LB coach 2 years ago.
Corey Raymond - The most Elite CB recruiter in the nation. I don't even need to give a run down of his resume, yall all know how good he is. My question is, being that he's a Lousiana native & that he's coaching at his Alma mater, is he even interested in leaving LSU? He's been there for 6 years putting great DB's in the league the whole time, we wouldn't be the 1st team to offer him a big time gig, why hasn't he left?
This part of the list is NOT for DC, just some good coaches I think would do great with us.
Diron Reynolds - DL coach at Stanford, has experience in the NFL was QC with the Colts from 02-06, was Phins DL coach in 07 & an assistant DL coach with the Vikings from 09-13. Was at Oklahoma in 2015 before getting hired at Stanford in '16. Very good recruiter.
Terrell Buckley - DB coach (if Banda left) former Nole obviously, but coached at LVille & is now at Miss St, was at FSU as a player when Richt was the QB coach in 90-91.
Eli Rasheed - DL coach for Iowa St, Coached at Venice Fl, Booker (Sarasota), FIU from 04-08 & was at Toledo from 09-15. ISU is 21st run defense.
Blue Adams - Miami guy, well respected in South Fla HS scene, does well on the recruiting trail & had USF at 2nd in INT's in 2017.
Honoronable Mention: Kevin Patrick (has been discussed already so I didn't feel the need to write a whole bunch on'em), Derrick LeBlanc (Kentucky DL coach), Brian Jean-Mary & Zach Arnett (San Diego St DC).
