#1 Butch
Should be the top pick. We'll see if the admin will do it.
#2 Mike Leach
Nobody does more with less talent than the Pirate, and we've always had talent. He took over a team that had won 9 games the previous 4 years, and hadn't been to a bowl game in a decade. He took them to a bowl in year 2. And so far this year he's beaten Oregon, Arizona (Rich Rod), with a rag tag group of nobodies from BFE. He beat Utah the last two years he faced them, and look at Utah now. The guy has also beaten the #1 team in the nation, and it's well documented that he's always wanted the Miami job. The fact Shalala passed on him should be a vote for the guy because it was clear she had no idea what to do. He likes to run up the score like Jimmy Johnson, and he likes chip on his shoulder players. That sounds like us. Plus the dude has a house in Key West. We could get him.
#3 Justin Fuente
Solid OC from TCU now Memphis Coach. They've done really well. He hired some good people. They knocked off Ole Miss and that was impressive. Is he a legit headman and can he hang with the big boys? All answers point to yes, but there is still much to learn. Do we want to be the proving ground on that? It will be interesting to find out, abut I'm watching him closely.
#4 Schiano
He was good for us as a DC. He knows the school well. He had some success at Rutgers. Maybe? I just don't know if it would be the best choice.
#5 Chud
1 failure year for the Browns as HC? I really don't know about this.
#6 Tom Herman
He;s only been a HC for 1 year... that's it. But the guy seems like a solid coach.
He took over an 8-5 team and is undefeated, but the best team he's beat is Louisville? He beat winless UCF?
I think it's a gamble on him. I'd have to see more, but there are some plus things like he has a national championship from Ohio State.
It's just really hard to go for a guy who has only been a HC for just 1 year only on the resume.
No Cristobal. No Lane Kiffin. If they want to be assistants that's fine. But I don't want either as HC.
