I like how the safest coach on that list is Tressel. 
Some other names that pop up on there who I think would make good candidates for some open spots are USF's Jim Leavitt, Wake's Jim Grobe and Navy's Paul Johnson.
They've all exceeded expectations at their schools, and are the right age for a move up to a bigger opening like Nebraska, AtM or Arkansas.

Even though he just got an extension, I don't see Callahan back at Nebraska next year. He hasn't made that program any better, he's made it worse, and I would hate to be the guy who has to clean up that mess.

I don't see Leavitt leaving USF. He is going to be that program's Bobby Bowden.
He won't threaten the all-time-win record, but he will fill the role of the coach that made it a national power and spent his career there.
The folks here in Tallahassee are putting out a very creepy vibe of total resignation about this. They say they would be upset about USF diluting the recruiting pool further; but that the boat already sailed so long ago that there is nothing that can be done about it now. It is as if they have given up on ever getting back to where they once were.

Totally agree. He's at a great school, and living in a great area. He has the chance to become a living legend there...

Houston Dale could be gone before the end of the season if they keep losing SEC games.
