sure they can call them, but it'd be a 5 minute call with nothing coming out of it. No known, name, legit coach is going to take that job due to the major, MASSIVE undertaking that would be flipping over the entire roster. Why would a kiffin sign up for that?

Their only option is going to be to get a young up and comer at a small school who wants to step up to the ACC.

Slight disagreement... If I'm a "young up and comer", I am on an upward trajectory... taking the Tech job is a SERIOUS "rip the e-brake" moment and pray... because you're not going to have any legitimate success in year 1, and year 2 would be questionable pending major contributions from freshmen and sophomores. Year 3 would be the earliest you can expect to see positive results, and even that is suspect...

If I'm a young up and comer, I should be looking for a good opportunity to step into a decent roster and try to make the players on the roster more effective, and bolster it... not rebuild.

A full rebuild, which is what this would be, really needs to come from a guy that has "staying power", and essentially isn't going to get trashed as "not ready" just because he stepped into a giant pile of shite and is trying to dig his way out.

I don't believe Kiffin or Freeze would likely take the job, but it's certainly worth the call. I think Kliff Kingsbury *might* because he's sort of in the "top OC" job pool right now, rather than HC. While I don't *think* Leach would leave WSU, he apparently doesn't always sit super well with the ultra left PNW crowd and had been rumored to have his name out for other jobs multiple times in the last couple of years. Tech would be silly not to at least call and try.
