Baylor
It looks like this is a 2 man race between Mike Singletary and Houston Nutt. It has been widely reported that Baylor is concerned that Singletary has no head coaching experience and it is widely speculated by me that if Singletary plays his card right he can be an NFL head coach in 2 years, so DON”T GO TO BAYLOR. As crazy as Nutt is he is much better than Larry Fedora and would actually probably do ok in Waco. Let’s just hope they don’t catch him having a Big O at George’s.
Nutt – 5-1
Singletary – 7-1
Fedora – 15-1
Duke
Congrats Duke fans you are getting a new coach. Who is it?
Glen Mason 5-1
Al Borges - 10-1
Steve Spurrier Jr. - 20-1
Tery Bowden - 30-1
LSU
With Skip Bertman on his last leg this will be a hire by John Lombardi, LSU President. Judging by a couple of hires he made while at Florida, Steve Spurrier and Billy Donovanm, he knows what he is doing. If the right guy with head coaching experience isn’t out there, look for them to go with Jimbo Fisher or Bo Pelini. But it looks like the Hogs are scared to pull the trigger on Butch Davis, he would have a nice 10 year run at LSU.
Butch Davis – 5-1
Jimbo Fisher – 7-1
Bo Pelini – 10-1
Les Miles – 100-1
Arkansas
If Jeff Long is paying attention he will realize that he has 2 choices. 1) He can risk irritating an influential board member and hire Butch Davis. 2.) He can risk irritating an entire fan base and not hire Butch Davis, (see above) everyone will be irritated when you have to play him for the Golden Boot every year. I have a funny feeling it is not going to be Butch. If Butch Davis goes to LSU does Jeff Long instantly get on the hot seat himself?
Bo Pelini – 7-1
Brent Venables – 10-1
Butch Davis – 15-1
Dan Mullen – 20-1
Jimmy Johnson – 50-1
Nebraska
We are still hearing that it is Gill’s job to lose, if that is the case then it is over because he could do nothing to lose it at this point. I think Butch Davis is the darkhorse here.
Turner Gill 5-1
Bo Pelini 7-1
Butch Davis 10-1
Chris Peterson 15-1
Paul Johnson 25-1
North Carolina
I know I reported I thought Butch was going to stay, I was wrong. It appears Butch is bye bye, to either LSU, Arkansas, or Nebraska.
Paul Johnson (will he still be available) 5-1
Troy Calhoun – 10-1
Jimbo Fisher 15-1
Terry Bowden 20-1
SMU
Sorry guys I am still not buying Kragthorpe. I obviously could be very wrong. There is still a sleeper out there I can’t get my arms around. I don’t feel very good about this list. I know they love Paul Johnson but things will have to fall perfectly for that to happen.
Mystery Coach – 5-1
Paul Johnson – 10-1
Terry Bowden 10- 1
Houston Nutt 15-1
Marty Schottenheimer 25-1 ( a real possiblility)
Glen Mason 30-1
Texas A&M
Bill Byrne, like most of the top-notch AD’s, is doing a terrific job of keeping this search to himself. Word out of Cincinatti is that Brian Kelly has become a favorite of Chuck Neinas. His toughness is exactly what the Aggies need. I hope they would endorse him, all he has done is win games for 20 years.
Brian Kelly – 5-1
Paul Johnson 7-1
Jimbo Fisher 10-1
Troy Calhoun 15-1
Rich Rodriguez 30-1

Why no mention of Tuberville in the A&M sweepstakes?
Butch Davis just signed a 10 year extension with a HUGE buyout clause, which will be made public after the Duke game. This has been common but not public knowledge for about a week now. Whatever sources told you he's gone are not in the know.
Davis has 6 years left on his contract, and now a 10-year extension? Wow. 16 more years...I find that hard to believe.
Doesn't matter if Butch Davis has 60 years left on his contract. All someone has to do is pay the buyout (which is what, $2MM?) and send a plane to pick up his family.
FIRE NUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
