At this point, your first offer has to be Tony Bennett. But I think he stays on the East Coast and holds out for UNC or Duke.
Your second has to be Chris Beard. But he has UT's next HC written all over him.
3rd, Will Wade. A legit candidate imo. Probably a lot depends on who leaves first, Cal or Self.
Nobody else jumps off the page. Hoiberg may be a decent consolation prize.
Mick Cronin I could probably live with.
Chris Mack would be fine, but probably not leaving.
Steve Wojciechowski could be a candidate by the time Self is done, but he's a Dukie.
Mitch Henderson is interesting.
Nate Oats is interesting.
Craig Smith is intriguing.
Justin Hutson is a guy to keep an eye on.
Mike Hopkins is already doing good things at Washington. But not sure he's a blue blood fit.
Andy Enfield kind of is ok, maybe. I can't tell.
Mike White would be good. But he's from Florida so I doubt he'd leave.
Wes Miller would seem like a good hire if he maybe bumped up a level and still had success.
Kyle Smith is on a decent trajectory, but doesn't seem to have "it"
Chris Jans is probably a stud coach. Like has all the makings of one. But he has Greg Marshall ties, so puke... But also, he's coached in Kansas multiple times now so he probably wouldn't turn down the job because of the location or anything..
That's my list, thank you.
