Mike Leach (Texas Tech)

How much time will the new coach get to turn things around and will that be a factor in Hamilton's decision?
 
If I Were Mike Hamilton...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would be making phone calls to representatives of the following individuals, in order:

1. Gary Patterson.
2. Lane Kiffin.
3. Todd Graham.
4. Brian Kelly.
5. Jim Haslett.
6. Steve Sarkisian.
7. Mike Leach.
8. Brent Venables.
9. Jim Harbaugh.
10. Mike Riley.

Remember this
 
How much time will the new coach get to turn things around and will that be a factor in Hamilton's decision?

IMO that will depend on who the coach is. A risky/unpopular coach won't have the same latitude as a, say Jon Gruden.
 
Of these 6 coaches, here is how I would rank the probability of them taking a job at Tenn if offered, highest to lowest.

1. Leach
2. Kiffin
3. Davis
4. Cohwer
5. Gruden
6. Petersen

I think Leach and Kiffin would jump at it, Davis would take some convincing ($$$), Gruden and Cohwer would take more convincing, and Petersen would have to be blackmailed before taking it.
 
I would like to go on record stating that my choices for HC are still Cowher,Gruden then Davis. If those refuse I think we should go get Dan Mullen. This is a guy who has been with Urban Meyer since he first became a HC at Bowling Green. Since 2001 he has been Meyers OC/QB coach and we all know this guy has called big games and is a excellent recruiter.
