First, I say we retain the entire staff, but if the change movement gears up...
Here are the best guys out there. Not all of them are available, but they are the cream of the college crop of DCs.
Dave Aranda, Wisconsin (Recruits South Florida, West Coast guy with no SEC ties, no NC)
Tyson Summers, Central Florida (former Troy, UAB assistant, no NC)
Greg Mattison, Michigan (former Florida DC, won NC @Florida)
Will Mushchamp, Florida (Not sure his buyout/contract would allow him to coach next year, won NC @LSU)
Gene Chizik, SEC Nation (Excellent DC, won NC as DC @Texas and @Auburn (per Golf Digest
)
John Papuchis, Nebraska (former LSU DC, won NC @LSU)
Manny Diaz, La Tech (former MSU DC, held Cam to 17 points, no NC, was embarrassed at Texas)
David Gibbs, Houston (former Auburn DC and an Auburn native, no NC)
Duane Akina. Stanford (Won NC @Texas, no SEC ties)
Brian VanGorder, Notre Dame (former Auburn DC, son plays for us, no NC)
Ted Roof, Georgia Tech (former Auburn DC, won NC)
Personally, I like Chizik. He would come cheap and is a proven winner. He knows the staff and the players and lives in Auburn.
