Laugh all you want but continuing to mention guys like Mario, Kiffin and Arranda who are all pipe dreams (woukd cost $7 mil + and already in winning and better situations than here), is as ridiculous as saying Saban coming to Miami.

If you want to be realistic with candidates. Mike Gundy may be the guy.

He applied for the job in 2016 so obviously there is interest.
his current salary is $4.2 milli9n, so very doable budgetwise even if given a raise to $5.5 mil
offensive guru
146-68 record (.680 winning pct)
nine seasons with 9 wins or more (6 and possibly 7 seasons with 10+ wins)
nit a recruiting stud but like Butch Davis, has an eye for underrated talent. Always has lower rated kids being drafted in NFL. In a huge recruiting disadvantage behind Oklahoma, Texas, T A&M, Baylor, Nebraska, etc but always does more with less. That’s the type of guy we need right now.
his teams are always very well coached and mistake free.
tough but players coach
has some swag and like Jimmy Johnson, going back to the Oklahoma State well
Watch how he beats Oklahoma next week.

yeah he is not Urban Meyer and Mario better fit but again, those are extreme pipe dreams. You can not argue this guys success with his coaching, his record or his development of talent.
