I gotta believe Texas would go after someone like the head coaches at OH State, MI State, AZ State, UCLA, FL State or an ex pro coach with Texas ties. Maybe even Al Golden at Miami. Brian K at Notre Dame, someone proven.

I keep waiting for your....just joking. This is Texas. The head coach isn't just X's and O's, he's running a major organization. Besides, even if they did go with a coordinator or less proven head coach I doubt he would even be on that list. So we are talking after they remove 15 legit options.....he's still not on the list.
It takes a unique head coach to be able to lead the football team and "follow" the wishes and please the Texas boosters!
I've heard the name Mike Tomlin come up as well. This one is strange, but considering everything going on with Tomlin currently in the NFL I guess it wouldn't shock me. Mark D'Antonio is another name that may be considered, but Texas donors want a big name candidate. At this point I really think it is Saban or bust.
To get the discussion somewhat back on track, WHO from the current program at Texas would you love to see ISU hire if Brown is let go? The next coach is going to bring in his own guys. If ISU has a shot at hiring someone from Texas, who would you like to see?
I'd take TE/Recruiting Coordinator Bruce Chambers. We need a go to Texas recruiter and he's been at UT 16 years.
I thought Mack stepped down already? I want Saban to come to the Big12.. We need a powerhouse to be relevant again instead of just the SEC.
Why would either of the Harbaugh brother leave the NFL? They can win at that level and seem to be a better fit at the NFL level than the college.
Except he already has openly toyed with leaving last year for Arkansas and then withdrew from consideration. He also does not always see eye to eye with his AD.
Not only that, but he's successful in the NFL. And and NFL coach has to be a lot easier life than a college coach. I'm not necessarily saying it's an easier job, but the offseason for an NFL coach probably fits the "regular hours" a little bit better than a college coach. I know during the season coaching is 24 hours, no matter college or pro, but once the season is over, it's hot on the recruiting trail for college guys. That just seems like an added level of stress that a Successful NFL coach wouldn't be willing to jump back into. NFL, you come to work, plan, strategize, but you get to go home at the end of the day instead of flying or driving to Meet the next prospect.
Listening to an offer is different than taking a job. In todays college coaches world who really knows what goes on behind closed doors when schools are looking for a coach.
NFL, Not For Long. But Harbaugh is someone who will be coaching there a long time. The only NFL coaches who go to the NCAA level are the former college coaches who failed going up to the NFL.
