Although it's possible, I don't see Kelly coming here. He has no ties to the South, and I'm sure at least one more high profile job would be available. I could even see Oregon taking him back before him coming here.
Also, I don't get the love for Herman, Morris, or Smart.
Herman - has coached a whopping 5 games as a HC. He also only coached under Meyer for 2-3 years, so can't even really claim him under his coaching tree which has been successful. I'd like to see what he does for a couple years first.
Morris - see Herman (although I think he was the HC at Tulsa for a bit?) I know SMU is a tough place to coach, but has he even won a game this year? Also a member of the Malzahn coaching tree, and we are watching that disaster unfold as we speak.
Smart - never been a HC and has been a DC under one of the GOAT for a number of years now. 1 - how much has really been him? 2 - I'm sure he's had offers; why hasn't he taken any?
I like Steve Addazio, although he's a bit older than we should shoot for. Didn't know much about Fuente until these threads started, but he's growing on me. I think we should give Dantonio a call out of respect, but I don't see him leaving.

Perception is everything in this search. It is imperative that it appear (if it's not the case) that Spurrier retired. And it is also imperative that it appear that Tanner knew his guy, offered him, and got him. Foley snagged McElwain quickly last year, while UTK had a series of high profile rejections. This job needs to look attractive right out of the gate. If Dantonio is target No. 1, then that contact needs to be ultra discreet in the very realistic scenario that he's too entrenched at State to want to leave.
Herman is getting love because of much better Ohio State's quarterbacking was last year vs this year with the same players, and how well he's recruiting at Houston. Only having one year of head coaching experience doesn't concern me (look at Freeze or Malzahn), especially if current coordinators such as Beamer or Smart are being considered.
