Mike Price UTEP

Shula, Applewhite, and Fran all could possibly end up at SMU or Houston (if Briles leaves) or UCF (if O'Leary leaves)...

Price may be best known for an off-the-field incident during a very brief stint as the coach at Alabama. In December 2002, he was hired in principle to replace Dennis Franchione as the head coach at Alabama. Price coached Alabama through the 2003 spring practice, in May his contract was rescinded shortly after news reports surfaced of an incident during a trip to Pensacola, Florida, where Price was playing in a golf tournament.[2] Price had never signed a written contract at Alabama.

A story in Sports Illustrated said that Price had been seen at a strip club "making it rain" and yelling "Roll Tide, Roll!". He allegedly later checked into a local hotel with at least one exotic dancer from the club. The magazine further alleged Price had sex with one of the strippers
