— The best fit for each open Power Five job isn’t easy as many factors come into play and some coaches won’t want the headache. But here are the dream scenarios…
Auburn — Lane Kiffin
— the Ole Miss coach might not want to leave what he’s built in Oxford for a bit of a nightmare in Auburn but there is better recruiting territory and more money. Hugh Freeze is 1B for me.
Nebraska — Matt Rhule
— I say this because I’m not sure Lance Leipold would leave Kansas for the Nebraska job and I think Rhule is an amazing coach and talent evaluator.
Wisconsin — Lance Leipold
— He has ties to the state and I think he’s a coach who wants to keep moving up in the world. Wisconsin is a great job and he’s the perfect candidate despite his love for Kansas.

Georgia Tech — Deion Sanders
— I’m not sure this job is big enough for him but I think Sanders would be perfect here with his big-name ability to recruit and sell Atlanta.
Arizona State — Kenny Dillingham
— The Oregon OC has ties to ASU, is a great young mind and he would recruit very well there. They need some life in this program and he brings it.
Colorado — Barry Odom
— The Arkansas DC has experience recruiting the midlands and Texas from his days at Missouri and that’s key to this job. He’s also a great coach.
