I was optimistic that drink would find a way to get to six wins this season, with seven an outside possibility. I now feel like we're pushing luck to get to four after today's debacle.

So, since it looks like we're on the downhill side of things with Drink, who would be your choice(s) for the next coach?

My picks, in no particular order -

Urban Meyer - Yes, he's a terrible person. Yes, he's a short-term fix. Yes, he could sink the program being stupid again. He could also coach a team of semi-pro rejects to a conference title and he attracts 5-star recruits like a slaughterhouse garbage can collects flies. Throw the bank at him. This is probably the least likely of the candidates I'm listing.

Hugh Freeze - I think he's shown he's reformed his character and we know that he knows how to win in the SEC. Whoever hires him next is going to hit a home run.

Luke Fickell - He loves it in Cincinnati and with the Bearcats moving into the B12 next year, he may feel that's enough of a move up until a Michigan, Ohio State, or Michigan State job opens up.

Bobby Petrino - Yeah, I feel gross just listing him, but he's a legit offensive genius and works with other coach's players better than just about anyone.

Jamey Chadwell - has done a bang-up job at Coastal Carolina and knows the Carolina area very well.

Jeff Traylor - another G5 coach who knows Texas very well and with the longhorns coming to the SEC, that really opens Texas back up (seeing as how we may well end up in a pod with them).

Thoughts?
