Not in any particular order:
Aranda - defensive minded, knows what it takes to win in the B1G, in a conference with a lot of uncertainty, young, has good recruiting ties to the Southeast and Texas
Patterson - proven head coach, defensive minded, strong Texas recruiting ties
Petersen - has shown he can win more with less, solid guy-good personality fit, only concern is whether his offense would prosper in the B1G
Fickel - solid coach, young enough to relate well with today’s players, NU would be a step up, knows what it takes to win in the B1G, strong recruiting ties in the conference footprint
Urban - IF, and that’s a big if, he remembers the taste of the humble pie he ate recently for a long time to come.
