There is no such thing as an "automatic upgrade," but at least these guys are all winners, unlike our current coach.

I dont know for certain if Lebby is a winner. But I do know that you are a loser.

Who's still available from this list?
Chesney - took the job at UCLA
Candle - took the job at UConn
Entz - still available
Sumrall - took the job at Florida
Vigen - still available and playing for an FCS title Monday
Newberry - still available
Calhoun - still available (two straight losing seasons though)
Golesh - took the job at Auburn
Keeler - still available
Huff - took the job at Memphis
Rogers - took the job at Iowa State
Gundy - still available (and a big question mark)
Polasek - still available
Helton - still available
Silverfield - took the job at Arkansas
Overall, it was a good list, we are too late for some of the names, but still some good ones out there. Also we could consider a retread like Jimbo or Petrino, or the greatest coach in our post-integration history, Dan Mullen.

I think in the case of Lebby there might be some auto-upgrades out there. Brian Kelley, Ed Orgeron, a chimpanzee, a folding chair…

I would 100% hire Brian Kelly tomorrow if he would take the job, and I don't even like Brian Kelly.

Whoever the coach is at Ferris State. He just won another Natty with a different QB than Trinidad. And he can bring his QB with him

Tony Annese. I don't know anything about him, but sure. I'd take him.
My #1 is still Brent Vigen, who is probably going to win the FCS National Title on Monday. But again, I'd take anyone from this list, or really anyone who has a record of being a successful head coach at whatever level.

When people say "there are no coaches out there better than Lebby who would take our job," it's a useful resource for a rebuttal.
But thanks for bumping it yourself!
