Candidates after dinardo got fired

I remember jack del rio wanted the job

I wanted Spurrier after Saban=DYNASTY

Mike Nolan's name came up a lot,too. At the time he was one of the flavor of the moment "young,hungry up and coming NFL assistants."

Bill Snyder at Kansas State came up either after Curley was fired or DiNardo--may have been Curley. He wanted LSU to sign off on some unbelievable 57 point list of changes.LSU was indeed sucking wind at the time, but, still...Thankfully LSU told him to pound sand.

I'm just glad Mark Emmert stepped in. Yes, Saban's hiring happened while Joe Dean was still AD but all Dean did was make coffee or picked Emmert up at the airport. I'm sure Dean was zeroing in on Wake Forest's line coach who would come for $135,000 a year.

Erickson came up in 1994 and 1999. Not sure how interested he was but his name did come up.
