Lane would have been my first phone call. Not exactly sure why Chun keeps calling Jim Tressel and guys at OSU for advice. He's an adult, he ought to know who the good coaches are, and how to get them. He's had this job for a while now, and needs to stop running back to his old home.Island_Owl88 said
Check this out! I decided to make my dream coaching team:
HC: Les Miles/Charlie Strong (If Lane was still in the market, he'd be my top pick)
OC: Larry Scott
DC: Randy Shannon
We would be recruiting gods in Florida.
I think this here would guarantee us a C-USA championship bid in the next 2 years, and probably cotton bowl in 3-4 years.

Granted, Kiffin was making $1.4M at Bama, so will probably be around $2 at Houston. But I'd still make the call.

Here you go Mr. Chun!
"Before coming to FAU in 2012, Chun spent 15 years at Ohio State. Three years ago, he consulted with Urban Meyer on the coaching search, and Chun admitted he’ll continue to consult with the Buckeyes brass. But he says they don't just push OSU assistants for the job.
“It always (plays a role), because the people I trust the most in this business are people I worked with,” Chun said. “I have engaged Urban Meyer for his advice. I have engaged Jim Tressel for his advice. I have engaged Gene Smith for his advice. That’s a part of who I am, and those are people I trust.
“They’re three people more worried about me being employed and putting food on the table for my family, as opposed to pushing along a personal agenda. It does come into play, because those are people I trust.”"
Also, based on your previous hire, many of us here on the forum would probably make better coaches than the ones you're looking at right now, just in case you want to talk to some of us.

Nah. Chun's not trying to hide it. IIRC he mentioned it on the Evan Cohen interview.
