Former Tennessee HC Butch Jones and former Auburn HC Gene Chizik would be good hires, but is the Mississippi State job the one they want? If you don’t remember, Mississippi State reported Gene Chizik for paying players & altering grades while he was at Auburn. That would be the peak SEC move. 

Todd Monken is the former HC at Southern Miss who currently has a job as OC of the Cleveland Browns. Would he return back to the college ranks to take another head coaching gig? Dave Aranda & Todd Grantham are two defensive coordinators who have proven they are worthy of a head coaching job with their recent success at LSU & Florida. Would they want to leave their current position for the Mississippi State job? Find out what Tom Downey thinks in this Mississippi State hot board video.

Here’s the full list of Top 10 Candidates as the next Mississippi State Football Head Coach:
#10 Gene Chizik (Former HC, Auburn)
Moor (Analyst, Alabama)
#8 Dave Aranda (DC, LSU)
#7 Jim McElwain (HC, Central Michigan)
#6 Todd Monken (OC, Browns)
#5 Jeff Monken (HC, Army)
#4 Todd Grantham (DC, Florida)
#3 Joe Judge (ST/WR, Patriots)
#2 Willie Fritz (HC, Tulane)
