 Re: If Saban Leaves, Who Coaches?
Phinatic of Phinsider blog lists about 20 possibilities from both college and the pros as possible replacements for Saban. Here are just a few, but click on the link below to read all of them. Quote:
-Boby Petrino, Louisville - He has been a hot name in NFL circles and many believe that he deserves his shot at the NFL, should he want to leave Louisville.
-Bob Stoops, Oklahoma - There was an unconfirmed report that Huizenga likes Stoops and would be interested in bringing him in for an interview. Personally, I don't think he is really that great of a coach. Was it me or was he outcoached against Boise St. a few days ago?
-Chris Peterson, Boise St. - Peterson has just one year of experience head coaching experience. Of course, he is undefeated, coming off of one of the most memorable college games of all time, the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. However, I'm not sure he's ready to be an NFL head coach. But when that day comes and he gets his shot, he's probably going to make a hell of a coach.
-Dennis Green, former Head Coach of Arizona - Green, recently fired following a disappointing 5-11 season, has been mentioned by many Dolphin fans as they guy they want, despite his 16-32 record in Arizona. Why do they want him? Simply because of the offensive success he had with Daunte Culpepper in Minnesota. These fans also think that Miami could try to bring in Randy Moss to play with C-Pep if Green was in Miami. Though I do think Green is a good coach, I'm not sure he's right for this job, but I'd bring him in for an interview.
-Al Saunders, Offensive Coordinator, Redskins - Saunders is a guy that will certainly get consideration for many openings. He's an offensive minded coach who would probably make a good head coach. He led Kansas City's offense to great success and, though struggling in Washington, still got their offense to play far better than what I expected. He should be a candidate if interested.
-Norm Chow, Offensive Coordinator, Titans - Chow was most famous for his work at USC. He is a guy who simply has the ability to draw up effective offensive gameplans and is wise enough to handle the head coaching duties. He's probably going to get some consideration from Arizona due to the connection he has with Matt Leinart, so I don't expect him to land in Miami.
