Initial candidate list being rumored by Hook 'Em posters includes Jay Johnson (LSU), Scott Forbes (UNC), Link Jarrett (FSU), and Jim Schlossnagle (A&M). Texas will pay and provide resources, but I cant imagine Jarrett or Schloss will move over unless they would simply prefer to live in Austin. I do not think they will come after Ming, but a Texas hire could set events in motion that force someone to come knocking (see Andy Enfield setting into action moves by Musselman, Cal, Pope, Young and the raises several others received to stay put). Mitch might want to wrap up that expected amended contact posthaste!
