Quote:2. Bud Foster, Virginia Tech defensive coordinator: The hunch here is that the Hokies' long-time coordinator is patiently waiting to take over the program whenever Frank Beamer is ready to retire. No doubt Foster will have earned the job. His defense is consistently among the best in the country, and that's without always having a team stocked with the biggest-name recruits.

5. Mike Locksley, Illinois offensive coordinator: Ron Zook's top assistant is really on the rise. He developed the Illini's pipeline into the D.C. area, and he is credited with cranking up a very potent ground game that was fifth in the nation. The way the Illini knocked off then-No. 1 Ohio State in Columbus also helped raise Locksley's stock. His rep as a recruiter would be a huge plus to any program he took over.

I would think Locksley is a guy that was hoping that schiano would have taken the michigan job. Locksley would have fit perfectly into that Rutgers job! Oh well!
