The line for candidates to be the next football coach at Tulsa will stretch out the door and down the block.
In other words, there will be no shortage of qualified coaches, some over-qualified, and those hoping TU will take a chance on them.
And, there is no blueprint for what direction TU should go in the search to replace Bill Blankenship, who was fired after four years on Monday.
Still, if rumors are true, Tulsa should take a close look at a handful of candidates with local ties and strong resumes like Houston Nutt and Butch Davis.
Nutt, an Oklahoma State alum, has head coaching stops at Boise State, Arkansas and Ole Miss on his resume.
Davis, a Bixby native and Arkansas alum, was the head coach at Miami (Fla.), Cleveland Browns of the NFL and North Carolina.
