There are several camps out there currently, each competing and pressing their man forward. One group calls for a smooth transition by naming a current assistant as head man. Other groups are in favor of a homecoming celebration with a former assistant such as Walt Harris, Glenn Mason, or Jim Tressel. They propose such men as Tuberville, the brothers Stoops, and Randy Walker. That is truly a difficult question.
All camps have their strengths and weaknesses.
Each could be dissected much like that formaldehyde frog in High school anatomy, and each can present a front as impenetrable as a Kevlar vest. Yet, there is another front mentioned by some but too often dismissed as unrealistic . Like kudzu on a Southern hillside, this is the option rapidly growing upon my Buckeye soul. Maybe it is just a pipe dream. Maybe it is unrealistic.
