According to Swain two coaches from the power 5 (not on the Vegas odds list) have called about the head coaching job. If we don't land the white whale Gruden, who would you want as the next head coach that's not on the list?
Jon Gruden **+150
Chip Kelly **+450
Jeff Brohm **+600
Bobby Petrino **+600
Mike Norvell **+800
PJ Fleck **+1000
Bob Stoops **+1200
Tee Martin **+1200
Les Miles **+1400
Jim Bob Cooter **+2200
Dan Mullen **+2200
Brian Kelly **+3300
Lane Kiffin **+3300
Peyton Manning **+10000

My guess is that one is Jimbo Fisher. He said Sexton connection and offensive minded. I'm not sure on the other. I would say Mullen, but he's on the list for odds.

I cannot see Fisher even remotely a possibility. $40 million dollar buyout.

I'm basing this off the fact that Swain had three main hints

1) He thinks either of the guys that have reached out would be home run hired from Power 5 schools.

2) Jimmy Sexton connection

3) Offensive minded.


He was just the first guy to come to mind. But you're right, UT can't touch a $40 million buyout.

I think Peterson would be interested. I'm no insider but I personally believe hes not happy at Washington and could see him reaching out.

He's my number 1 target if there's any chance, you gotta make a run at him.

Does anyone really believe Swain here? I mean virtually everything we have heard involving potential coaches has been wrong.

Realistic :
Fuente
Doeren
Campbell

Unrealistic :
Patterson
Shaw
Fitzgerald

Who I think Swain is referring to:
Sumlin and either Mora, McIntyre, Durkin

Fuente would come for the right price. Mullen is more like it, sadly Florida will get him 1st

Why is Fleck a bad hire?

Didn't Swain say "No it isn't Fisher"

Mullen will stay in Starkville. If he averages 8 wins a year, they'll build a statue of him. $4.6 M and low expectations. They'll never fire him and his family probably loves living out there. He's set. Don't think he has aspirations of taking on that next level of expectations.

Fleck would be perceived as a bad hire because he's a big cliche guy, just like Butch. Wouldn't be given a chance.
