I think it's pretty clear that we need someone with head coaching experience. I have a hard time believing Foley would go the coordinator route with the failed Zook and Muschamp experiments under his belt. So, that means no Chad Morris and no other cute, trendy darkhorse candidates that message board gurus want to nominate.
REALISTIC candidates:
Rich Rodriguez
He had 3 consecutive lights out years at WVU. His only losing season in Morgantown was his first year 3-8 (1-6 Big East). The next year he produced a Big East record turnaround and went 9-4 (6-1 Big East, the lone conf defeat to #1 Miami).
Gary Patterson
Yes, he's been at TCU for 15+ years. However, he admittedly considers overtures from other schools.
Larry Fedora
Familiar with the Gators, has never had a losing record as a head coach at Southern Miss or UNC, great recruiter, and offensive mind. Maybe a "fall back" candidate if bigger names decline.
