Mike Houston JMU. If available, Liberty could at mininum triple his salary and afford to bring his staff. Double bonus, you get to have JMU hast you even more. I think he is P5 bound. Liberty going in knowing it would be a stepping stone, but hey it could work well for both parties.
Jim Leavett - Built USF from nothing.
Paul Petrino - Can't be happy going back to FCS.
Steve Addazio - If Boston College fires, great defensive coach and would get more support than he ever did at BC.
Jake Spavital- West Virginia offensive coordinator. See Mike Houston.
Curt Cignetti - Elon Football Coach

Curt Cignetti is a good succession. Has a good track record has a HC so far. Would like to see how he does for the rest of the year as this is his first year at the FCS level. He has some good wins in his first year. It might be a risk to take a HC with only one year of HC experience in the FCS. I like his background at Alabama.

Mike Houston is definitely at the top of my wish list. He is young and a winner. He has coached/played at some religious schools. He is a coach that I think will be in the FBS next year. Nice plus is that he is currently in VA.

Cignetti has a history with NCSU. He was an excellent coach on the staff. I think he will become a hot coaching prospect in the near future. Also, I am not sure why EWG is against Steve Addazio. His defense is excellent. Also, a unknown stat, 8 of his 12 AAC wins are on the road. Imagine what a team with fans that show up to the game coud do. Him taking BC 3 bowls in his first 4 years at BC really is impressive. BC is the only school I thought the ACC made a mistake in expansion. Really wished the ACC had taken WVU instead of BC out of the Big East. But the ACC was holding onto the illusion of they put academics above atheletics. Especially while Univeristy of No Classes was going full boar.

My issue with Steve is he hasn't really done anything impressive. His best record was 9-4 in his first year at Temple. He has never done better than 7 wins at BC. You know what you are getting with him. I'd rather go get an up and comer. Even if they used LU as a stepping stone job.
