Here's a name I don't think I have seen here yet.

David Gibbs, Texas Tech Defensive Coordinator. 49 Years old.

He makes around $800k at Texas Tech but maybe he wants a shot as head coach, of course if they fire Kliff next year he may be next in line. He has completely turned around Texas Tech's defense this past 2 seasons and had dominate defenses at Houston. Loads of experience in the NFL and big time programs. VERY STRONG TEXAS TIES.

We are a nation of second chances guys.. This country forgave Mike Tyson. MIKE TYSON.

Briles would have this program in a NY6 Bowl inside of 3 years. What's that worth to you? Maybe the guy finds religion and resurrects his life in Cajun Country. In the mean time, I'll take the move up to AAC and the conference domination; the national ranking and media attention. I'll take a packed house and meaningful games in December.

Again.. No civil or criminal suit was ever filed. NOT ONE. I know that doesn't necessarily make him a saint, but if the allegations were so awful and so true, why didn't any of these victims file legal or civil suits against this man?

Kind of stretch for a guy who has never been a head coach and coaching for less than 10 years.

Again, I don't think Maggard is looking to go that direction at all.

Have you seen the amount of points Texas Tech allows each week? Do you really think that's a good hire?

Herman wasn't ever a head coach prior to Houston HC job when he beat Florida St on New Years day 3 years ago.

True, but they play against the best offenses and QBs in the country. Their offense has been pretty bad all year and their defense spent way to much time on the field. I watch a lot of TT football and they have improved tremendously on that side of the ball since his arrival. His defenses at Houston were turnover machines.

Not saying it can't happen, just that it is a stretch and not worth the risks imo. Herman also he had 20 years coaching experience came from Ohio State (not FAU) and inherited an AAC program with a lot easier access to those NYE bowls.

Alex Grinch!!!

I'll say this after digging into Grinch...he is a Mount Union alum and Mount Union guys are doing great things. Matt Campbell and Jason Candle being 2 of them.

Yea....I watch a lot of the Pac 12 after dark games, so I have seen Wazzu a good bit. I love the way their defense is playing this year.
