Thought I'd take a look at candidates for the last FB hire that Coyle made to see if there is anyone in common with the above wish lists, or who at least have similar characteristics.  I found a bunch of conjecture articles, but not much on who were [U]actual [/U]candidates/interviewees for the BSU job.

From the link:

[I]"Like Harsin, the resumes of other top candidates featured strong ties to the school, including Washington defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox, a former Broncos assistant, and Dirk Koetter, a former Broncos head coach and now offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons. Two current Boise State assistants also were interviewed, athletic director Mark Coyle said.

For Mark Coyle, it wasn't Harsin's deep Boise State roots that convinced him he was the right person for the job.

Early in his search process, Coyle jotted down a short list of qualities he believed were essential to the team's next coach. Atop the list: A leader motivated by a sense of urgency, Coyle said."[/I]

Koetter is now OC for the TB Bucs and Wilcox is currently a lame duck DC for USC. I also saw an article saying that former Cal/current BC Lion HC Jeff Tedford was a finalist, but no confirmation that Coyle actually met with him.
