I would like to see Neal Brown, Tony Elliot or Satterfield. Also, after his success at GSU and turning around a horrible Tulane team, I would be fond of Willie Frist, but I get he would be considered underwhelming (and he isn't being mentioned, so don't worry).
I am not very happy seeing Whisenhunt being interviewed given his lack of success (horrible is better word) as a head coach. Maybe college will be different, but his hire would start already behind the 8-ball in my mind. I do not get the Geoff Collins interest, if real, AT ALL. He is terribly mediocre or just bad. I will root for them if hired, but Whisenhunt and Colling have me already yawning and wondering how many seasons of .500 ball and mediocre recruiting until they're canned.
The ONE name I wish I would hear and see interviewed is Chris Klieman of NDSU. Sigh, guess it won't happen and hey, maybe he wouldn't want to come, but NDSU has been completely dominating with that man at the helm.
The names that would not upset me if hired are the below:
Brown
Kleiman
Satterfield
Elliot
Less thrilled or unlikely, but still somewhat positive:
Monken (yes TO stays then, but I am leaning to moving on from it to get BIG BOY recruits and not 260 lb OL and such)
Bohanon (hey, KSU is darn good already)
Frist (never mentioned, but he makes teams better each stop)
Bottom line though, I am most interested in seeing GT recruiting take a big step forward. Most of the time, when we play top 20 teams, we get man-handled due to speed/size combo being a tick down from our opponents. We'll never be a top 10 recruiting school, but there is no excuse for us to be in the bottom 1/3 of the ACC and outside the top 30 or so nationally.
Satterfield has already been snapped up by Louisville.
