Russell Turner (UC Irvine)
Mike Brey (from UDFG)
Randy Bennett (St. Mary's)
Tom Crean (Indiana)
Jay Wright (Villanova)
Tony Bennett (Virginia)

Let's get real.  There are only two guys on this list who would even be interested in the job - Turner and Randy Bennett.  The other four have jobs in much better programs and are making more than Stanford is going to pay.

There are very few major conference coaches who would even be interested, and most of those are at the bottom of the barrel and aren't guys Muir would want to hire anyway.

The next coach will either be a successful mid-major HC or a former player with some kind of coaching experience.  I'm hoping for the first one, the latter is a big risk for a guy who's job largely hangs on this hire.
