Dan Mullen and Mark Stoops would be good hires, but neither is leaving their gig to come to Miami.
Pep Hamilton or Chud would do great as HC and play caller for us, if they wanted to come back to college. I'd, at least, kick their tires.
I think Schiano will get a look, but how serious that look is depends on how the season goes for Memphis and the offense at Alabama. If Kiffin works another episode of QB whisperer, he's going to be in the mix. And if Memphis has another 10+ win season and AAC title, Fuente might be at the top of the list.
Question for Fuente will be does he want the Illinois job, more?
Believe it or not, the next HC we get will have to WANT to live in South Florida. And that life ain't fo everybody, no matter how great some of yall think it is. I worked for a company that couldn't get anybody to take the job down there because they couldn't get with the culture. That's important. It's not just about wins ... It's about where they want their family to be.
That's partially why I doubt Mullen or Stoops would leave their current gigs.
