1. Justin Fuente - the record speaks for itself. Young, good recruiter, a truly great coach. Makes way too much sense for where we are as a program right now for us to go after Fuente with his track record at Memphis. He honestly makes all the sense in the world and should be Tanner's first phone call
2. Tom Herman - guy is going to be a star, you can see how Ohio State is struggling without him there (even though I fear he wouldn't stay long and would jump for the next really big job).
3. Kirby Smart - Saban coaching tree has usually worked bar Muschamp and Derek Dooley (ugh). Young, tireless recruiter, great connections in the south. The main thing here would be to surround him with a great staff mainly a great OC
4. D.J. Durkin - He's a great DC and if set him up with a good OC and I think we'd be set. Main/Massive worry is a lack of head coaching experience and only a few years as a coordinator

Solid list but I'd be apprehensive about Durkin. He's only been a DC for 3 years and 2 of those were under Muschamp. That lack of experience would scare the piss out of me. Give him a few more years to hone his craft at UM and then he'll be ready to go for a major coaching job IMO.
