T---You've got to be kidding regarding a lack of candidates for the BU job should it become open! I can tell you with certainty from past experience that the BU job has been highly regarded by other coaches around the country and we have always had a very large number of coaches apply when the job was advertised.
Locating very good candidates has never been and will never be a problem.
As for where these candidates come from, here are some areas:
1. BCS Assistant Coaches
2. JC coaches
3. Lower level Divn.1 coaches
4. NBA Assistant Coaches
There are hundreds of potential candidates out there. Our new AD can "mine" the East for good possibilities and seems to have great networking contacts. Think about what the BU job offers---Great BB tradition with BB being the schools major sport; Super facilities; A very good conference; Suppport from BU administration; Excellent salary and benefits; potential national exposure; Super community involvement; Etc. Etc.
As for who, consider these few names---Jerrance Howard; Kevin Eastman; Cornelius at Yuba; The JC coach at Burlington, and many, many others.
Lack of candidates for the BU job would be no problem at all and is not a valid reason for not making a coaching change when needed.
Most of the time, a new coach is not an obvious name to BU fans---Consider this---How many people knew of Versace before he was hired; Where did Forddy Anderson come from; Even Albeck and Mo were surprises to most people prior to being hired by Ferggie.
Now once again, I do not support an immediate change. I believe that after the season JLs record and the programs progress over the past 8 years should be evaluated, specific goals should be established, and he should be given one more year to turn it around. If he doesn't---make a coaching change.
