Don’t know who this is. I just randomized a first and last name and this is what I got.

I asked AI for a list, here’s what it came up with:
Graham Harrell (Current Purdue OC) - Has strong Texas ties from his playing days at Texas Tech and previous coaching stops. His Air Raid offense would fit well in the AAC.
Jeff Lebby (Current Mississippi State Head Coach) - Former Oklahoma OC with deep ties to the region. If he were to leave MSU, Tulsa could be a good landing spot.
Brennan Marion (Current UNLV OC) - Rising star offensive coordinator who has Oklahoma ties from his time at Oklahoma State. Known for his innovative "Go-Go" offense.
Brian Urlacher (Former Texas Tech RB coach, current UTSA OC) - Deep Texas recruiting ties and experience in the region.
K.C. Keeler (Sam Houston State HC) - Proven winner at multiple levels who has successfully transitioned SHSU to FBS.
Major Applewhite (Current South Alabama OC) - Former Houston head coach with G5 experience and regional recruiting ties.
Josh Heupel's coaching tree could also be worth exploring, given his successful tenure at Tulsa as OC (2014-2015).

I didn’t realize Marion spent time at OSU and Heupel as OC at Tulsa. And Purdue is 1-10 this year. That’s AI for you.
I caught that as well. I started laughing and even my wife knew that was wrong.
Wow, so Josh Heupel was our undercover OC, and Norwood really was just a front. Did Heupel calle the plays that first year?
It also claimed Brian Urlacher is OC at UTSA. As far as I know the only Brian Urlacher in football is the hall of famer Bears LB.
Harrell maybe, no to Lebby (isn't he still tied to Briles?), Marion- given, yes to interview the Sam Houston coach, yes to Applewhite.
Longshot but we should at least talk to Bobby Babich, Bills DC. Ties to Tulsa/TU, played at North Dakota State.

ChatGPT gave me this nonsense -
The University of Tulsa’s search for a new head football coach has identified several potential candidates, with a mix of internal options, regional connections, and proven coaching talent from smaller programs. Here is a list of some of the names being discussed:
1. G.J. Kinne - Head coach at Incarnate Word and a former Tulsa quarterback. Known for his offensive-minded approach and success in the FCS playoffs.
2. Ryan Switzer - Interim head coach at Tulsa and current wide receivers coach. Switzer might be considered for continuity.
3. Steve Spurrier Jr. - Tulsa’s offensive coordinator, who brings a wealth of experience and could be promoted internally.
4. Ron Burton - Tulsa’s assistant head coach and defensive line coach, with a strong coaching pedigree.
5. Corey Dennis - Tulsa’s passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, with ties to prominent programs like Ohio State.
The search will likely include other candidates with experience leading smaller programs or those with ties to Oklahoma and surrounding regions.

GJ is the answer, good chance he can bring Marion with him and probably a couple other young coaches
And before anyone says we can't get him, plenty of you thought we couldn't fire Kdub or wouldn't fire him before the end of the season. We go get GJ and the program will be in good hands.

I'm still completely blown away that we fired him. When was the last time we fired a coach more or less when he deserved it? For BB it was Phillips in 2004 and for FB, Blankenship in 2014, tho both of them probably should have gone a year earlier. Our usual MO has been to get to the point the coach should get fired and then give him another 3 or 4 years. Wojick, Montgomery, Haith. This feels like a major change in our approach.
Good to know you are forever delusional. Keep hope on Kinne, who will not even interview for the job.
He is above our price bracket to pull him away from his present job. He already has a headstart to getting a p5 job, would likely have less nil to work with, have academic handcuffs compared to Texas St, and we would have to pay Wilson's exit fee + Kinne's entry fee.
I imagine Marion would be less interested in working as his OC, seeing as how his job now is OC at a higher level job than Texas St, and is more successful. The whole thing will never happen.
