Mine are (in no order):
Eric Bienemy: Assistant Head Coach for the Vikings, has coached at Colorado, was recuriting coordinator at UCLA. He may be young and without a lot of experience, but he has fire and I believe could recruit LIGHTS OUT. A high risk, high reward pick.
Mike Belotti: Currently unemployed. Long-time head coach at Oregon so has high-level Pac 10 experience and has won at a place that is very similar to Colorado. Probably doesn't have massive upside and has had off-field issues with respect to his buyout as Oregon AD, but a very good coach that could turn Colorado into an above-average to very good program.
Troy Calhoun: Head coach at AFA. Former offensive coordinator for Houston Texas and Wake Forest. He would bring an old school option offense with him, which I really like to watch. Probably not as dynamic a personality as Belotti or, especially, Beienemy, but a hell of a coach that has had success everywhere he goes and has moved up the coaching ladder. May be difficult to pry him from AFA -- he is an AFA grad and has mentioned that AFA is his "dream job."
Other possibilities: Bill McCartney (maybe as "advisor" to Bienemy?); Gary Patterson (much more likely if we were going to stay B12); Kevin Sumlin (see Gary Patterson); Charlie Weiss (why not?); Dave Logan (just kidding!)
