A couple of things....

Also, yes Tim Corbin does make around 850k/year at Vanderbilt. And yes coaches at LSU, Texas, USCjr, Arkansas make around or even above 1 million a year after bonuses and school related endorsements are included.

The Louisville coach will/should never come in my opinion because he is currently in a perfect scenario for him there in Louisville. He has way better facilities - isn't faced with playing top 10 teams every week, is reloading not rebuilding - etc, etc.

Corbin would never come either. I think we made a pass at him previously as have scores of other schools. To his credit he is very loyal to the school that gave him his first big opportunity.

I would scour the West Coast or the Midwest where the pay is much lower. I think Arky recently snagged the coach from Nebraska if memory serves. That is where there is a lot of opportunity to snag a star imo.

Additionally, it's not rocket science. Chris Burke would be lightyears better than Raleigh. But you, me, the concessionaire, having no coach at all -- would be way better than Raleigh.

You say that Burke wouldn't be interviewed -- Peyton Manning doesn't have any experience coaching football but if he was interested in a possible position on my staff, I for one would at least talk to and interview him.

Again --this is Hamilton ---the guy that was impressed with Raleigh. He or (his service) should interview most legitimate candidates that express an interest imo.

I agree that McDonnell is a long shot. BUT...If that's the guy you want the pitch is simple. We will make you the highest paid coach in the SEC. Of course, I don't know if they feel that way, but if they do that's the deal, even then he might say no.

I agree that Corbin will not come.

There are a slew of potential candidates below the initial top tier. Some have more experience than others, some have SEC ties, some Tennessee ties...I guess I hold out hope that UT will get somebody at the top of the list, though I know there's nothing in recent memory to lead me to believe it.

Again on Chris Burke, yes I loved watching him play when he was here, but to hire him as our head coach would be insane because he has ZERO coaching experience. A monkey could do a better job coaching than Todd Raleigh, so that argument is also pointless. To compare Peyton Manning, arguably one of the best football players ever to Chris Burke who was an average utility player in the MLB is also humorous. Yes, Burke was fantastic during his tenure at UT, but is nowhere near the icon that Peyton is...

I agree with you that having Mike Hamilton make this decision worries me, but I think he is in such hot water that he knows he has to go out and get someone that will excite the fan base and not take another chance on an unproven guy, like Raleigh.

I cannot for the life of me imagine what Hamilton was thinking or saw in Raleigh when he made the decision to hire him. Hopefully he will have learned not to go down that road again this time. This hire could HELP to put him back into good graces with a lot of people and our fan base in general, so it would behoove him to go out and get someone who is well established and will excite our fan base again.

Corbin strongly recommended Raliegh to Hamilton.

In another thread I posted a link to a Tony Basilio tweet. Basilio said someone in the AD told him that Garner endorsed Chris Burke.

I have no idea if that is the least bit true. If it is, I think that would mean he's not interested. I believe they would contact him just for advice, like Grunfield in basketball, but who knows.

Again - Serrano. Bring him back to the Hill as the skipper, pay big bucks, and lock him up for 6-8 years. He has already accomplished what Corbin and McDowell haven't yet. Then let him go do what he does - recruit well, coach 'em up, and win.

People are coming up with new and improved ways of butchering McDonnell's name..:)

I think McDowell would be hell of a coach.

When McDougal interviews after the Ville's season and the NCAA hearing are over he will demand quite a bit of moolah.

Coach McDonanahue will have his pick of Midwestern and Mid-south schools to choose. He may be a good fit at Nebraska in their last gasp for relevancy.

What is that; make Omaha? Kinda like McDonnell did his first year at UofL? I will say, Corbin has consistently choked come tournament time (NCAA and SEC).

Strangely enough, the exact opposite may be true. I have seen him at the Big East tournament in Clearwater and he walks around the entire week with so much sun screen on that he looks paper white; he keeps a towel covering his neck and wears one of those fisherman hats to keep himself covered up. I don't know if he has a skin condition or something that makes his adverse to the sun but it is quite noticeable.

He was wearing the exact same get-up over the summers of '04 and '05 while recruiting for Ole Miss. You might be on to something with the skin condition theory.

Maybe Coach McBaobhan (you're going to have to Google that) is actually a vampire. Does he "conveniently" miss a lot of day games?

Are we not also looking at an up-and-comer coach out of Transylvania University named Rogers "Sparky" VanHelsing?

Not much is being said about Gary Gilmore. He has over 900 career wins and has brought a CCU team to elite status. Any chance Gilmore could be offered?
