Where will Gruden end up? You know someone is going to hire him.

If Fickell is fired and a mid majors shows interest in hiring Banks (like MTSU did last year), then I'd love to grab Fickell as our DC.

Sonny Cumbie at La Tech is safe this year.
It's been a down year for them sure, but I don't see them moving on yet.

Of the 4 you list at the bottom, Stoops is on the hot seat but unless big money is found, UK won't move on this year.
Next up on the list is Belichick...it won't be this year, but if he doesn't do something next, hes out.
Third is Swinney. He'll try to find new coordinators this off season, but hes in the same spot Fulmer was in around 06 or 07.
Deion van stay at Colorado as long as he wants...hes brought a ton of great publicity even if all they do is match last year's record.

I thought about that. He and Inge have only coached LBs and DL. Wish we could find a successful DC that was a DB guru like Pruitt. But with morals.

Fickell sure has had some great DBs, though. The playoff team he coached at Cincinnati had Sauce Gardner and Coby Bryant. He seems to be good at identifying and developing talent there.

A few uneducated predictions:

Ruhle to PSU

Brohm to one of the Florida schools

Fulmer to UNC- just kidding but they do like retreads:)

Golesh to the other Florida school that Brohm doesnt take

Sumrall(Tulane) to UK

Gruden to UCLA

Mullen to Va Tech

Orgeron to Orego State

Petrino to UNLV if he doesn't get the Arky job

Arky- don't have the faintest idea

I wouldnt trade JH for anyone but of all the coaches mentioned while we were wandering in the football wilderness Brohm is the one I would have liked the most. Think he actually took the job(Jimmy Hyams reported) but changed his mind the next morning

P.S. Possibly Malzahn to Arky
