Mack Brown
Anyone else?
Robert1969, educate me on Pellini. I always thought he was a good coach. Did he do something off the field to cause the disqualification or is he just a jerk?
I know this guy is young, really young (30). But he has been an OC at a top 10 offensive school for the past 3 years. Worked under Leach and just beat Texas 48-45 to have Texas Tech become bowl eligible. Not saying he is my choice, just throwing it out there.
Rob Ryan
Any position coach
Any coach that comes from a school with poor Sp. teams
Any coach who will run a Pro Style Offense
Any Coach that will have a run based offense
Frank Wilson
Any coach mentioned by Fletcher Mackel so far
Any coach in their upper 50's or older (sorry for the discrimination).
Any coach that is not energetic
Any recruiting coach

No one is talking about Hudspeth. He is a good coach. He didn't win this year because he didn't have a QB. He could win at Tulane. Not worried if he would leave, but am worried a bit about something I read about possible sanctions. If this is true, he's not an option.

Mac is exactly what we need at this time. He's experienced, a great PR guy (which we need desperately to grow our fan base), he would be hungry to re-establish his reputation (and likely his last job), and he's very well respected in coaching circles so we would get an experienced staff (something we haven't had in a very, long time).
I think he'd be fantastic.
Mack is 64. Head coaching at this level, in modern college football is a young man's game. Moreover, it takes a lot of energy, hunger, and "want-to" in order to build a program, which is what we need right now.
Dino Babers is 54. If you think that ten years isn't a big deal, take a look at a before and after picture of President Obama and/or President Bush and/or President Clinton before/after they started their administrations.
Head Coach of a University football team and President of the United States have VASTLY different worries and pressures that affect aging. Bad analogy, for sure. As far as age of a head coach goes, I think Bill Snyder at Kansas State has done some amazing things with their program well into his 70's. He's 76 and going strong (despite the Wildcats having a down year this year.) I think it differs based upon the person, not just his age.

Mac had a "Coach in waiting" while at Texas...but he bolted for Florida .... Mac is not the answer as a coach, he might make a good AD but his days on the sidelines need to be over...but then again there are 13 slots open with more to come after this week end so who knows

Be a Hero Today.... Adopt a Shelter Pet... The Beatles once sang "Can't Buy Me Love"... I disagree, unconditional Love can be bought, for the nominal adoption fee at your local Pet Shelter !
