It Could All Be So Easy

If Nike were as influential as Adidas during its role in the hiring of Ben Howland at UCLA (i.e. paying off part of his Pitt buyout), then you could just look at the coaches speaking at its March clinic at USC for a list of potential head coaches.
Mark Richt of Georgia, Mike Riley of Oregon State, Jim Leavitt of South Florida and Troy Calhoun of Air Force are scheduled to speak. It's an interesting list, other than the fact Leavitt seems like a complete lunatic on the sidelines.
