I'm just telling you who the leads will be. You can slice it and dice it all you want but one of those two will be at or near the top of the list. Gruden isn't giving up his gig to coach the hogs so don't even include him.
I'm not including Gruden. He's the classic college football pipe dream. And why, even? I feel like it could be Tuberville (he's got to be unhappy in Lubbock; I mean, he just bitch-slapped the headphones off an assistant the other day) or Malzahn. But Tuberville would be the better hire because he's a proven head coach in the SEC. I suppose Mullen is also a possibility.
Last page of Mandel's column today has the Tubs getting mad on video. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/stewart_mandel/11/11/texas-am-sec-bcs-overtime/3.html
You see Tubbs explanantion................"I was actually trying to get him off the field and when I reached up I grabbed his headset and it fell off". My interp and Reece Davis on ESPN, "Look you stupid MF'er I am about to buss my foot off in yo azz and beotch slap you into the stands"!
