It’s not wise to let single games influence your wish-list. With Leach, prudence suggested that we temper our reaction from the Texas win, just as it suggests we do with the Oklahoma loss. The same should apply to Davis and the NCST game. There are simply too many factors involved for single games to give a reliable picture of a coach (which is why the Tennessee win didn’t save Joe Glenn’s job).

With all of the coaching prospects, we’d be wise to step back and look at their body of work as a whole. What have they done with the programs they’ve inherited? Is their influence positive or negative? How do they respond when the team has an off day? How do they handle discipline? The list of questions goes on.

I write about Leach a lot because he’s the most intriguing character. There are a lot of coaches I’d be happy to see at UT, though. If Leach isn’t named, you won’t see me disappointed. (I don’t keep a #1, #2, #3 type of system in my head; instead, I have about 5-6 names I’d be comfortable with and leave it at that.)

That said, I am with you about Del Rio. Don’t need him. I also don’t like the direction the Jaguars are going, attitude-wise. They’re getting progressively more belligerent and prone to taunting, and that raises a serious red flag to me.

coach/ team that has been consistent this year counting this past weekend has been Brian Kelly and Cincinatti. Although his defense did let the other team( i cant remember who they played) come back at the end, i believe he would be a good coach if Chavis stayed . right now, he looks like the best coach that is in the “list” at this point in time.
