It’s one of the 40 most attractive jobs in college football. At most pessimistic top 65. There are some Power Five coaches who would take it, almost every Group of Five or FCS head coach, and all but the 5-10 hottest coordinators. There’d be plenty of a pool. At Shaw’s salary we could easily get a star. 

Bryan Harsin, Lance Leipold, Chris Klieman, Troy Taylor, Brent Brennan - all likely in our ballpark, but certainly a majority of them would be. Just by way of example.

Auburn fans would pay us to take Harsin.  his days on the Plains are limited.

Does everyone think that Muir has the power to actually fire Shaw? My feeling has been Shaw has more clout that Muir.  I also think we are beating a dead horse as I don't think MTL really cares whether we have a football team.  While we might be attractive for a hotshot up and coming coach I think success is a fleeting thing under today's rules.  The Portal and NIL have made a slippery slope almost vertical.  We are going to attract a few really good players but never enough to consistently be in the top 20. Plus guys who red shirt are seldom going to be around for their fourth season of eligibility.  It will happen, but not often. In the past we were a stop for some great young coaches but they never stayed around.  We may well return to that status.
