Take Meyer, Saban, Harbaugh and Shaw off the table. Who's your guy?

[mesoHorny]

I think Fisher or Malzahn but can we get either of them? Not sure we could.

 

[BuddyHolly]

Briles.

 

[joebobb]

Briles or Charlie Strong

 

[PropositionJoe]

My money has been on jim mora jr since October

 

[Juan]

Franklin

 

[MickeyD]

Kirby Smart

 

[UtopiaPlanitia]

Dantonio from MSU

 

[Lukus Alderman]

The other Harbaugh.

 

[colepeyton]

Briles

 

[Black Scholes]

Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh only guys who command a premium. The rest better be a $5.5-6MM price tag.

No interest in Tomlin. I personally think that could be an epic fail.

Very lukewarm on Mora.

I don't really have a Plan B to be honest at this point. Maybe I'm still suffering from a Saban hangover.

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Malzahn, Briles, Mora Jr., Bill O'Brien, John Harbaugh, James Franklin, Tony Dungy.

 

[Baghorn]

If you eliminate those elite candidates and assuming John Harbaugh, Pete Carroll, and Jon Gruden are non-starters then I'm fine with either Briles or Malzahn paired with a DC like Narduzzi. Briles would probably be my preference of the two simply because he's so well connected to Texas recruiting.

This...........

Plus Dantonio from MSU has gotten my attention....so has Gruden..

Who REALLY wants to come? That will shorten the list very quickly.

Dantonio from MSU

Boom

 

[Joe's Generic Horn]

Franklin intrigues me

 

[joebobb]

But the problem is that none of these candidates are realistic at all. In a dream world, or a fantasy sports game, yes, we get our guy, but realistically, Texas is going to be looking at a Charlie Strong, Dabo Swinney, James Franklin, Mike Gundy type candidate as their next coach. young coach with a track record of success at an upper tier program but not an elite program, just like when Mack Brown came there.

 

[ATX89]

Agree on Briles or Malzahn. Mora Jr and Fisher would be very counterproductive in my opinion

 

[Juan]

There is a lot of diversity in the responses.

Does this site allow for the creation of polls?

Might be interesting to see.

Tweet it out too, get a larger sample that way.

Maybe two of them?

Start with the all inclusive.

Post the results.

Then do a second with this question, without the biggest 3 names but with the names here listed + Mora, Jr + Charlie Strong and so on.

Just a thought.
