Supposedly, Buck Shaw (then at Santa Clara) and Dudley DeGroot (SJSU), both alums and successful local coaches (DeGroot was 24-1 in the preceding two years) were the local favorites.  John Bain Sutherland, who had left Pitt due to a lack of institutional support was supposedly the front runner.  Don Faurot, from Missouri was also in the running and may have been offered the job.
