MATT RHULE (from all that I've read about how he turned Temple around and now Baylor), as unlikely of a candidate that he would seem to be at Baylor or Arkansas, he appears to be the "sure thing" if ever there was a sure thing. I get that he may be really expensive per the buyout in his contract with Baylor, but how expensive is it to have a 1/2 filled stadium?
There is another part of me that says that SAM PITTMAN may be the best risk to take? People think you have to hire a former P5 head coach, but every top coach had to be given a chance by someone. There are lots of examples... Dabo Swinney at Clemson is one - Swinney took over as head coach for the Clemson Tigers midway through the 2008 season, following the resignation of Tommy Bowden.
