Straight from inside sources. From most likely to least:
Jamey Chadwell
Jeff Traylor
Rhett Lashlee
Tom Herman
John Sumrall
Lance Leipold
Barry Odom
Gus Bus
Clay Helton
Jeff Lebby
The list is not in order of best coach, it's in order of who we have the most interest in and who is likely to have the most interest in us.
Extreme Dark horse - Bob Stoops (I'm sure his interest has been gauged for every major opening), Jim Harbaugh (if Mich fires him- very unlikely and Goodell blackballs him).
100% will not be Mullen (he couldn't recruit with UF's NIL and the portal), Petrino, or Art Briles. Joe Judge is not a candidate either, but with the right rehabilitation, he could become one down the road.
It will not be an NFL guy... with the portal and early signing day, you can't wait until Jan or later for a coach. It will not be a DC and almost no chance of being an OC (Lebby's on the list due to the OU connection).
Four more it will not be: Special Ed, Rich Rod, Kingsbury or Hud.
