When a major job opens up, a “here are the candidates” post is not only customary, it’s pretty much demanded. This is different, though. This is a situation where we’re not 100 percent sure what the team for the upcoming season is going to look like or if there are going to be additional sanctions levied against the program. Hell, we don’t even know who’s doing the hiring here.
Having said all that, here are the names that I believe you may hear pop up over the course of the next 48 hours. Keep in mind that we’re talking about just the coach for this season, not necessarily the man who will be tasked with taking over the program for 2018-19 and beyond.
