2 criteria - HC experience and a northeast connection.  I do not want to go with the "rising coordinator" path, and having the connections and understanding the challenges of recruiting to a northeast school is key

[B]Joe Moorhead [/B]- #1 candidate if remotely interested, but as more firings occur from P5 teams the chances of UConn being his 1st choice diminishes greatly.  And it is unclear whether he wants to jump back into the HC job.  Being OC at Oregon is a pretty nice gig.
[B]Curt Cignetti[/B] - #2  - James Madison HC, QB coach at Pitt & Temple, HC at Indiana U of PA.  He has won at multiple levels as HC.  James Madison is moving to FBS is the new Conf USA so they may bump up his salary, but I can't come close to the to $2M
[B]Joe Harasymiak [/B]- #3 - Minnesota co-DC and former Maine HC.  Only negative is he is a defense guy and not sure of his coattails in bringing in high quality assistants.  But being part of a B1G team puts him above Lewis on my wish list.
[B]Sean Lewis[/B] - #4 - Kent St HC, OC/QB coach at Syracuse
