Interesting. Thank you Hayes for your services... I really hated that style of defense, but it was effective (mostly) and I appreciate what Hayes brought to the table in experience and truthfully some good DBs over the years.
I agree with the poster above that the only way someone like BV, Leavitt or Stoops come on board is with a HCIW title and it seems like it is Sean or nothing for Bill. So, that's probably not an option. I agree that Seiler is probably in line to be the next DC and good for him! He seems like a very engaged coach and (like Coleman) has been a stud on the recruiting trail. A few other names:
Very Long Shots and would only come as a DC
- Raheem Morris: He was KSU's DC / DB coach under Ron Prince and has been an NFL head coach and current Falcons WR coach. This probably would be a demotion in some ways, but may also re-start his career in some ways.
- Bret Bielema: He is making millions doing nothing, so I doubt he comes .
- Mike Ekler: He has coached LB's all over the place and could probably coach DBs(?) He is currently the DC at North Texas.
- Newman... his playing days may be coming to an end. If I were him I enjoy the fruits of an awesome NFL career, but maybe all he wants to do is coach football?
Another random name:
- Joe Gordon: After being a director of recruiting for KSU he has coached at some lower level schools and is currently a HS head coach in Arlington.
