Call your shot: who will the DC hire ACTUALLY be?

Beergut Memorial Wishful Thinking Tier
John Chavis - After initial skepticism, LSU-side sources confirmed contact from A&M. Probably just engaging in some Tywin Lannister roleplay.
Brent Venables - First name floated and publicly denied interest, but so did Chad Morris. Still hasn't signed an extension. KEEP HOPE ALIVE.

Curley Hallman Memorial Old Dudes With Past A&M Ties Tier
Greg Mattison - Still on staff at Michigan until a new coach is confirmed. Has a relationship with Harbaugh so he could stay on if it's him.
Phil Bennett - Baylor DC, gives up yards/points but it's the Big XII and the opponent-adjusted stats love him. Would take six figures to dislodge.
Bob Davie - UNM HC, 11-26 in three years with not much improvement in recruiting. Would come cheaper than lots of coordinators at 770k.

Kirby Smart Memorial Dudes Who May Be Good But Coached Under Defensive HCs So Who Knows Tier
DJ Durkin - UF DC under Muschamp, not retained by McElwain. Young guy often floated as a "Co-DC," but will get DC offers from mid-tier schools (UNC).

Shaggybevo Memorial It Worked For The Horns Tier
Gene Chizik - Was a great DC in the aughts, we know he's fine with a HUNH offense. Does he want to leave the cushy desk job at SECN?
Manny Diaz - Rehabilitating himself somewhat at La Tech (3.28 yards per rush allowed). Might those two years under Mack's collapse be the outliers?

Mike Sherman Memorial NFL Retread Tier
Dennis Allen - Fired after Raiders GM Zombie Al Davis signed a bunch of shite free agents and started 0-4. A&M alum with a successful DC record.
Mike Singletary - I dunno, man. I guess if we want an ersatz Charlie Strong disciplinarian. WITH THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST.

CGSC Memorial Meltdown Tier
David Gibbs - He wouldn't be awful. I mean it. Did you see our turnover ratio the last two years? I wouldn't mind some of this.
