I'm having to look some of these guys up, had not heard of a couple of them.

Dave Doeren - Took over a good program and has kept it there. DC at Wisconsin for 4 years. Sounds OK to me.
Matt Campbell - similar to Doeren, but no experience at a major college. I would likely pass.
Darrell Hazell - Kent State has gotten better in his tenure, deserves consideration. Coached under Tressel. Offensive guy.
Frank Solich - The Joe B. Hall of the football world, following a legend. Did well, but tailed off. Record at Ohio is 54-40 overall. The coach he replaced went 11-35. He's 68 though. Probably pass.
Bob Diaco - I like ND's defense this year, but I don't know anything more about him.

I don't think UK will hire a young coach, probably go with a caretaker type coach if I had to guess.
