My top five hottest coaching names. (This is like the reverse hot seat, guys who are about to make a killing on the open market if they choose to leave).

I'm restricting my five to current college coaches and Petrino, who isn't coaching because he can't, since the white whale of Gruden, who would definitely be interested in Tennessee and maybe other jobs out there, Bill Cowher, and Pete Carroll are just too problematic to rank.

These five guys are going to make a ton more money before the season is over, either via raises from their own schools or from taking new jobs.

1. Chris Petersen

I'm convinced he'll never leave for anywhere else, but you have to put him at the top of any list.

2. Dana Holgorsen

You think it's a coincidence that West Virginia signed him to a contract extension before the season started?

3. Charlie Strong

Has won big at a BCS level and produced dominant defenses at multiple SEC schools. He's a no-brainer success if he'll leave Louisville in the off-season.

4. Bobby Petrino

He's a risk off the field. But on the field? The guy will win for you, big.

5. James Franklin, Vanderbilt

I know he's 1-2, but the second half of the season opens up well for his team. A reasonable goal this year was 6-6. That's still doable. Get the Dores to back-to-back bowl seasons with the way he's recruiting and he can have just about any major job that comes open in the country.

Surprised he states that Gruden would be interested in the Vol job.

Interesting list.........
If Hart has his way.......a BammerTroid will be named. :)

My guess: #3 would be the only possible on this list for UT, if it comes to that.

1 Never going to leave
2 Never going to be hired anywhere besides WV without massive plastic surgery
3 Could see at an SEC school next year
4 Could see at an SEC school next year
5 Will leave Vandy after being fired in 3 years.

Okay, I now see why Clay Travis is considered an incompetent boob by the rest of you. This list is absurd. Charlie Strong is a good possible candidate, but the rest? Either unqualified or unhireable.

I still like the guy at Penn State. High character and is getting more out of his team than any coach in the country.

Actually, Hart loves Dooley. That's why some people are frustrated with Hart. He likes his plan, and he likes how some things have been cleaned up. He likes how he represents the school. He also plans to give DD another year.
If the team keeps getting blown out of SEC games and other bad things happen, that stance could of course change, but the ridiculousness of a buyout in place and foregone conclusion that DD will be gone at the end of the year because of the loss saturday is nothing more than message board hype.

--->You don't have any earthly idea what Hart is or isn't thinking about Dooley right now so give me a break.

same thing with Travis and "Gruden would definitely be interested" crap...guy's gonna take the same salary to leave a 3 day/20 hr week job w no pressure and long term job security so he can go work 80 hr weeks under high pressure and no long term job security. Some of you folks are delusional

Holgerson and strong the only two realistic possibilities from that list.

Strong is from Arkansas I believe and will probably be at the very top of their list come December.
