    I agree that Strong is unlikely. Just saying that for those going down the Sumlin path, Strong would be more likely. The PAC > ACC and Louisville is going to be the 4th strongest program in the ACC? Very possible that the Florida job could open this year as they are staring down a possible 6-6 season - I do wonder how that will go over with Muschamp (not advocating him).

    DeRuyter to me is the ultimate wild card. He could definitely be a home run hire - there's a strong track record there.

    I would put Mora higher than him on the list because of the proven experience as a HC and ties to the program.

    Bohl doesn't seem that realistic to me - it also wouldn't surprise me if the Nebraska job opened and they got him. Seems like he's content being in the Midwest - have to think that he's had opportunities to leave prior to now.

    I'm not advocating a first year HC at all. In fact, given the attractiveness of the job and the fact that the reason for a coaching change is to hire someone that you feel can take this program to an elite level, it's really hard to expect that to happen with a first year HC. The two names that I mentioned are the names that I would think you'd look hard at IF you had to go down that path for whatever reason.

    Although it is a new regime, Bohl got forced out of Nebraska after a 7-7 season, and was replaced by Bo Pelini as DC in 2003. Maybe he holds some ill feelings over being fired from there once before?

    I agree about Mora before DeRuyter, mainly because Mora is a proven great recruiter who emphasizes the lines. I am not as high as many here about Mora's on field coaching.

    That's my biggest concern regarding Mora as well ... I tend to think he gets way too emotional in games and that hurts him.

    The key is to find a coach that is excitable/personable enough to be a great recruiter but who is also cold blooded enough in the attention to details on game day to make sure that he's always one step ahead of the opposition.

    Problem is that those types of coaches aren't plentiful.
