He was a candidate at cincy before withdrawing, and tried to get the tennessee job but it was instead given to kiffin. I've also heard PSU will hire from within their current staff. I think if we throw enough money at him we would have a chance.
I just don't think it's realistic... it's like Chris Peterson. It'd sure be nice, however Golden is for sure holding out for the Penn State job. He's an alum.
Why do people say this?
You are aware that Penn State essentially invented the concept of HC In Waiting, right? This guy would probably go postal if some one like Golden was named HC seven years after PSU effectively announced its plan to the media that he would be Paterno's successor.

If Leach has any succcess here, he will take the first offer back to the Big Twelve or to the SEC. We need another Alvarez or Ferentz and that ain't Leach. Trestman maybe, Chryst maybe, I'd even interview the guy at UMD.

Regarding Penn State again, it's pretty well known that their current offensive coordinator will be the next head coach. Go to a PSU board and ask, because they will tell you it's most likely going to be Bradley.
My Preference
1) Mike Belotti *
2) Al Golden
3) Gary Patterson ( Probably Pipedream)
4) Mark Richt (If he does the Tubby Smith route)
5) Scott Linehan
If the admins turn down a Leach hire i want Golden. I don't understand how more people aren't on the Golden band wagon. I mean seriously, can we get a "Golden is Golden" chant next game?
He would be near the top of my list, with Bellotti and Richt. Leach close to them.
