Yep. Texas is stuck. They can’t keep Herman at this point, they can’t get a HC from an elite school, so their options are to either trot out a coordinator from an elite school or find a way to get Urban to say yes.

On Stoops-there's one scenario where I can see him returning to the sidelines, and it involves Lincoln Riley going to the NFL.
Whittingham is not leaving Utah
Spot on. Urb knew what he was doing by leaking info to the media and making this flirtation so public. UT is now backed into a corner, and there are a lot of boosters who don't want UT left looking second rate.
Even number year. Next year they will be hunting for the National Championship. But seriously, Auburn is one of the more bipolar teams out there. They seem to oscillate between "championship contender" and "burn the entire thing to the ground" every year.
Would they go for an NFL guy with Texas ties?
Yep, and those coaches will do exactly what all coaches do. Parlay that into a nice raise and/or extension. While Texas has more money than anyone else, it only goes so far. Right now, Texas is trying to buy their way out of this mess and that is not even remotely the problem.Reading the Texas 247 is pretty good reading. They are throwing out names like Dan Mullen and Brian Kelly.

They are going to spend $25 million to fire Tom Herman to hire Dan Mullen?
You're not wrong.
Didn't he take an XFL job? I could see him taking on a new challenge if a place that can win a championship (FSU, Michigan, etc.) and pay a fortune came calling.

Yes-but I'm excluding that because they played this past spring. That might be possible-after his son (he's a WR for Oklahoma) now graduates, but for now I don't see it.

I see the fit may not be here for Texas, if they don't think Wittingham can recruit down there. However, I could see Whittingham having interest if he thinks that he can win a Natty there with better players. He does an excellent job developing players, so just being on par recruiting Texas may be enough to have a shot in Whittinham's mind. There is a ton of talent in Texas and it is the flagship school. Might be harder to bring in JUCOs. He would probably have to bring in some outside staff to recruit Texas.
That might be a town/booster setting that will test control of his alcoholism but I agree he would be a good choice for them.
He would be a terrible fit there, IMO. He doesn't like huge booster interference and the political landscape that would be there at Texas. He doesn't have that at Utah and has full control to do what he wants without interference. He has found a nitch with recruiting Poly's in the state of Utah.
If Texas really wanted him, then they could most certainly name their price. However, Mack Brown was so good at Texas because he could recruit and was so good at handling the landscape that comes with Texas. Kyle is 61 and think their boosters and fan base would revolt if they named him coach. They want a massive name or young up and comer.
I think he could do really well at Texas
How heated would the UM / OSU rivalry be if Urban takes the Michigan job?
The XFL gig enabled him to still collect his VERY healthy program ambassador gig with OU.
I don't see Stoops working for the evil Horns, but anything is possible I suppose. Hey, I've got an idea. How about Mack Brown again? Said the same to my Texas honk brother, people don't want that job because they won't get paid like a mofo. They don't want it because all the bull**** that comes with it.

This. The only way Stoops comes back on any college sideline is if Riley leaves for the NFL.
No excuses. But look at opt outs and injuries.
Isn’t this an AD driven issue?
No.
About time for an update, update.
Open Jobs:
Utah State- (h/t Duff) the carousel gets spinning with an 0-3 start leading to the dumping of Gary Anderson, well-traveled and now unemployed. Frank Maile (h/t DeNiro) interim. UPDATE: Arky St. Blake Anderson getting some run.
South Carolina- Muschamp out (h/t CarolinaBuff and DeNiro). $13MM buyout for Muschamp. Ouch. Early names, Hugh Freeze, Billy Napier, Jamey Chadwell, Rhett Lashlee, Luke Fickell and possibly Shane Beamer. UPDATE: Shane Beamer it is. (h/t DeNiro)
Vandy- Derek Mason canned after 27-55 record over 6 or so years. (h/t serenity buff) Early names: Jamey Chadwell, Jeff Fisher (not bloody likely IMO), Will Healy, Clark Lea ND DC. (h/t DeNiro) MikMac mentioned by numerous posters here, and actually, probably a good candidate. Jeff Monken and the ever popular Ken Nuamitoatloloaoaitolaotu from Navy mentioned (h/t TSchek) UPDATE: Virtually everyone throwing their hat in the ring. Vandy should enjoy the limelight, the Bevo dumpster fire is entering stage left... Additional names: Bill O'Brien, fmr. PSU/Texans HC, Bama RB coach Charles Huff, Buffalo HC Lane Leipold, AFA Troy Calhoun, LaTech Skipper Holtz.
FIlled jobs:
S. Miss-Jay Hopson out. Bret Bielema, his gut, money and hot wife considered but not named. Will Hall, Tulane OC gets the nod. (h/t TSchek)
Possibles:
Tennessee- Pruitt on thin ice, Hugh Freeze? (h/t ahoelsken)
Michigan- Harbaugh cannot beat anybody. Getting pantsed by Melvin Huckster doesn't help.
Tejas- Herman not getting it done. Rumors Urban Meyer is being pursued. UPDATE: Urbs dumps UT publicly. Cristobal and Perv. St.'s Franklin top 2 (h/t onealcd) This one has potential, Oil money, giant booster egos, SJW school fight song controversy, stay tuned.
Arizona- Sumlin may, or may not be on his way out.
fUCLA- Chipster, (see Sumlin above)
Other News:
Clay Helton- Keeps coming back more like the Energizer Bunny
LSU- Bravely self-imposes one year bowl ban.
tOSU- 5 games is close enough, advance token to CCG.
Syracuse- Dino Babers gets dreaded vote of confidence despite 1-10 this year, 24-36 after five.
Boise- This one cracks me up. Bryan Harsin wants to leave the Mtn. Weenie Div. In what he describes as a football move, the Big West and West Coast Conferences are seen as upgrades.

I think you should remove LSU and tOSU from this list. Ryan Day isn't going anywhere neither is Coach O. I'd even say Chip Kelly is unlikely to be fired, and Clay Helton, for all the **** we give him, is likely to be playing in a NY6 game this season after going undefeated.
