If there's a competent cell in Haden's brain (TBD) they'll hire someone that wasn't born on 3rd base thinking he'd hit a triple. Gruden, Briles, Petersen, O'Brien uber alles. I think Briles ends up in Austin next year and we'll see if Petersen ever leaves Boise. Del Rio has to be one of the top candidates at USC, no? Briles isn't really that popular with the UT people. Then again we will probably be getting a new AD as well so everything known will change. The ones mentioned the most are Saban (10+ million per offer), Strong (most realistic), and Shaw (will be a tough pull even with bump in pay). I would say Gary Patterson would be 4th on that list today.
