There are actually a lot of them, Ricky.What current coaches fit this outside of meyer and Stoops
If you add the condition that they not already be in a head coaching job, that reduces the list somewhat. But should we remove from consideration ALL coaches who already have a job? That certainly didn't stop Bama from going after Nick Saban. So should we drop coaches from the list if they have a job already....?
Mack Brown, Lou Holtz, Frank Beamer, Gary Patterson, Steve Spurrier, Bill Snyder, John Cooper, Frank Solich, Ed Orgeron, Kirby Smart, Gus Malzahn, Les Miles, Dan Mullen, Mark Richt, Tommy Tuberville, Jimbo Fisher...heck, Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney, why not...and this is without mentioning the two guys you asked us not to mention (Bob Stoops and Urban Meyer). There are a ton more, I just got tired of listing them.
Are some of those fellas too old to come back to coaching? Sure. But you didn't also say we couldn't consider guys who might only have a few years in them.
The list of guys who have previously won national titles is pretty short, sure. That's the Meyer, Stoops, Saban, Swinney list.
But the list of guys who have at least won a conference title or two...that list gets really long.
NOTE: I'm not proposing we go after ANY of these guys. Some of them, I absolutely would not want under any conditions. I'm just answering your question.
p.s. How absolutely hilarious would it be if we hired Nick Saban away from Bama? Not saying it could happen, just laughing out loud in real life at what would follow if it did.
