Les Miles
Ellen the Weasel
Bob Simmons
Lou Tepper
Karl Dorrell
Gary Barnett
Gerry DiNardo
Steve Logan
Ron Vanderlinden
Mac would bring in a high quality staff, that much is guaranteed. Even if it's just for a few years to transition to someone else, I look at what he could do and it makes me giddy. Throw in EB as HC in waiting and he would be a great hire, IMO. I don't know if EB would go for that arrangement, but it doesn't hurt to try.
