Remember that money might be an issue because we would have to cough up between $35-40 million right away to get rid of Jimbo.
Mine would be:
1. Hugh Freeze: has some baggage, but seems to be doing it right at Liberty
2. Dan Lanning, Oregon HC: Has a very good resume/ pedigree of stops, Took a big hit with the first game of the year, but has the team playing, probably, the best of all the PAC 12 teams, now.
3. Lance Leipold, Kansas: winning at Kansas. Enough said. Just kicked Ok St in the baguettes this last weekend.
4. Gus Malzahn: He has beaten St. Nick 3 times! more than any other coach! Has innovative offenses. He can get better talent at A&M than he could at Auburn.
5. Matt Rhule: successful at the college level, may cost too much.
6. Deion Sanders: flashy hire. Would get noticed by the recruits. What recruit would not, at least, listen to him. He is winning, big, at the HBC/U level. That is not easy to do. They have nowhere the resources of, even, a mid-level power 5 program.
