The Next University of Cincinnati Bearcats Head Football coach is...?

[Kevbo37]

My favorites in order:

• (1). Kliff Kingsbury, OC-Texas A&M: His offense (think Johnny Manzel would be awesome at UC.
• (2). Kirby Smart, DC-Alabama: He would be a big name splash. Think Charlie Strong 2.0 - a big-time/named SEC assistant who raises recruiting level of Big East club.
• (3). Matt Campbell, HC-Toledo: An offensive mastermind. Coaching in this era is a young man's game, and Cambell brings youth and charisma at just 33-years-old.
• (4). Luke Fickell, DC-Ohio State: Got his feet wet as a head coach on an interim basis for the Buckeye in 2011. He'd be a great recruiter and name.
• (5). Jim Tressel, Asst. AD-Akron: Can you believe Buckeye's spite if this hire is made? Tressel would automatically raise the Bearcats recruiting level in Ohio.
• (6). Dave Clawson, HC-Bowling Green: Has a spread attack and MAC pedigree reminiscent of the Bearcats last two hires.
• (7). Chris Ash, DC-Wisconsin: Co-Defensive Coordinator at Wisconsin. He's a young, high-energy coach who can get the most out of guys.
• (8). Chad Morris, OC-Clemson: Maybe the best offensive-minded coach the Cats could hire. He's a little older and has no college headman experience, coming from high school ranks.
• (9). Shannon Dawson, OC-West Virginia: Holgorson's right-hand-man in Morgantown. Helped develop Tavon Austin and Stedman Baily. The porous defense wasn't his fault.
• (10). Pat Narduzzi, DC-Michigan State: He has a history in the Queen City. He was here with Dantonio. His luster wore off a bit this past year with a struggling Spartan-D.
• (11). D.J. Durkin, LB-Coach-Florida: Young hire-energy guy. Great recruiter and one of Urban's Meyer's favorites. A lot of credit for the Florida-D goes to him.
• (12). Pete Lembo, HC-Ball Sate: Good coach. He would be a solid hire. But the George Costanza lookalike is a little boring, and would leave a lot to be desired in recruiting.
• (13). Dan Quinn, DC-Florida: It's surprising he hasn't been mentioned for more head jobs. He's done a great job with the Gator defense this season.
• (14). Bob Diaco, DC-Notre Dame: Another guy with a UC past. Is Cincinnati big enough for him now? His 3-4 was horrible in Cincy with the Bearcats' under-sized players.
• (15). Bobby Petrino, working on marriage: Would bring a high-powered offense and recruiting to the school. But do you want this scuzz-ball?
• (16.) Kerry Cooms, DB-Coach-Ohio State: He's a hometown guy, but he's up in years with no college head coaching experience. He's high energy though... really high.

Jim Tressel would be good.

Tommy Tuberville! Crazy. Never would have seen that coming in a million years.
