He said it would be a mistake to limit the search to people with UM ties (“you should not close the door on others and get yourself emotionally involved”), said the failed Al Golden experiment should not rule out quality mid-major coaches, and said UM needs to reach out to candidates that some people might believe aren’t available.
“Before I hired Jimmy Johnson from Oklahoma State, everyone said no way in the world Jimmy would leave there,” Jankovich said. “Before I hired Dennis Erickson [from Washington State], everyone said Erickson would never go. Now, there are six or eight that might be gettable.
Among mid-major coaches, Jankovich said: “You have to look at the guy at Memphis [Justin Fuente] and Houston [Tom Herman]. Even though I’m not an Urban Meyer fan, he has done a great job.” Herman previously was Meyer’s offensive coordinator at Ohio State.
James holds former UM offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski in high regard, according to someone close to James, and it won’t be surprising if Chudzinski --- now the Indianapolis Colts’ associate head coach --- emerges as a serious candidate.
Shula, Cristobal, Chud, Rodriguez, Cal coach (runs Groh defense), etc. Those are some HORRIBLE candidates.
“What happened to Al is beyond me, but that team never improved. I don’t know if he was too loyal to his staff but you want to make sure the new coach can surround himself with really great people.”
Would be an idiot to not reach out to Gundy and Patterson. I'd take them over anyone that has been mentioned including Butch.
Among high-level Board of Trustee members, there is support internally for Chudzinski, Schiano and Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator and former Alabama coach Mike Shula. But this is James’ decision.

Honestly who the **** is on the BOTs? How can they be so out of touch with CFB?
Chud, Schiano, Shula, are ****ing joking

Reach out to Patterson and Gundy and Urban. Never hurts to make a **** phone call. If they all say no, move on to Herman and Fuente. If those two say no, call Butch and get it done.
No reason what so ever to not call Patterson Gundy and Urban though. I'd even call Missouri's coach.
I wish we could get Jankovich back for this hire. We need an AD like him.
