Candidates being thrown around for Tech job

[Otto]

Art Briles: Lubbock is a dump, but it's better than Waco
Dennis Franchione: remember him?
Josh Huepel: not ready yet
June Jones: NOOOOOOO!
Kevin Sumlin: unlikely: didn't he just get an extension at Cougar High?
Tommy Tuberville: needs a job

I'm guessing they end up with someone not mentioned here, but these are the names I've seen mentioned so far.

There is no way in hell JJ goes to TTU. There's a beeter chance of Barry Switzer or Jimmy Johnson going there.

[SMU21TCU10]

I am hammered. But my guess is. They pull a West Virginia in 07. They win big in their bowl with Ruffin and then they decide to hire him . Kind of like WV did with their interim coach when they beat OU.

I'm hammered too, but there's no way they get a legit coach out of this horseshizzle...

[ender3]

If they win the bowl big: Ruffin

If they get blown out, the Leach fallout is REALLY strong, and no serious candidates will take the job: Tuberville

Dark horse: Larry Fedora


They'd like to get Briles, but I'm sure they can afford him or Sumlin, especially with the potential of a payout to Leach from a lawsuit over their heads.

wow - up at 5:19 am

The word I am hearing is that a deal with Jones is imminent. There is one contingency that has to still be worked out. Jones is insisting that the team be lead onto the field by actual "Raiders" and a deal is being negotiated to get John Madden to ride out on the field on the back of Al Davis. An anonomous sources quote Davis as saying "help".

I would think June Jones appears on this list more as a result of some Tech types acknowledging what he has done — so far — at SMU. I don't suppose he would have an interest. Just can't see that man living in Lubbock, no matter how sweet the offer is.
