Mullen is the obvious choice.. but does he leave MSU after his first year? Strong JUST signed his contract and there would be all kinds of legal hell.
Fla would be a serious upgrade for Gary Patterson, but he just signed a extension too. I would love to see his defensive mind at work in the SEC.. and he's another coach who has done a HELLUVA lot with very little. Gus Malzahn... ehhh no. While he may be in line to take over Texas.... Will Muschamp should come up as well. On Sat, Dec 26, 2009 at 11:13 PM, <oli...@bobparks.com> wrote: > I want a proven, young head coach. We've already seen what can happen > otherwise.
