And just based on what I've read/heard in the last few days:
Most assume these two will be top targets because of ties to UK or Barnhart. I've cast my lot in with Dykes. He seems to be the top target from all accounts. Neal Brown's name at Tech has also come up in conjunction with Dykes as a potential OC if Tubbs is headed to another SEC school like Arkansas.
I read earlier that he's shown interest in the position. I have no idea why (don't know who his connections are or anything like that). I don't know if he's just not happy in Atlanta or what.
These two have also come up in several places, but generally together with Fulmer as HC and Zook as DC. I would kill for Zook as a DC.

I've said it many times already, but once more. Dykes will take us back to Mumme days, so if that is what Mitch wants, fine with me.
However, the wins and losses won't change significantly, but if the goal is to draw the fans back to watch us lose to Louisville 52-45 then so be it. That might be all that matters.
I want to compete better in the SEC, so give me a defensive head coach to start with. It might not appeal to the fan base who have been bored to death by Jokerball (myself included), but a slow and steady improvement will benefit us more in the long run in my opinion.
