Current Openings: Head Coach Prospects (no ranking necessarily)
OSU 1. Chip Kelly 5. Justin Fuente 9. Lane Kiffin
Florida 2. Scott Frost 6. Les Miles 10. Bob Stoops (he could pull an Urban Meyer and return)
Ole Miss 3. Dan Mullen 7. Mike Norvell
4. Charlie Strong 8. Matt Campbell
Soon to be Open (I'm Confident):
Tennessee
A&M
Nebraska
My britches are hot:
BYU
Kansas
Arkansas
Off the list of open jobs, I see OSU being more desirable than Kansas, BYU, and Ole Miss (aren't they expecting some heavy sanctions soon?). I'm trying to be objective here, naturally I see it as the #1 job, but c'mon... I'd like to see Norvell, as I think he's a "realistic" choice, has P12 experience as a coordinator, and has a team that's rolling with Memphis. Granted, Fuente set the table for him, but he's moving things forward.
One name that hasn't been discussed is Kiffin. Do you feel he's matured enough? Young and a good recruiter...I'm not sure how I would feel about him. He's bounced around so much, I think he would definitely feel OSU was a stepping stone gig. To be fair, all the coaches on the above list could feel that way outside of Les Miles because of his age.
Note, I didn't include coordinators on the list on purpose, although there are plenty of talented coordinators who will get hired in the upcoming year (Joe Moorehead, Venables, possibly). Of the names on the list, who would you feel would realistically consider OSU?
