Kevin Sumlin is out. Who will Texas A&M hire to replace him?

Well, since Chip Kelly is off to UCLA, here is a list of 10 names that the Aggies could and should take a look at as their next head coach.

1. Jimbo Fisher (Head coach, Florida State): This is the coach who has Texas A&M fans clamoring with excitement. A national championship (2013) under his belt, Fisher has the pedigree that Aggie Nation is looking for. Coming into the season with seven consecutive Top 25 finishes, including four in the Top 10, Fisher is the top choice and it isn’t even close.

2. Mike Gundy (Head coach, Oklahoma State): Though he doesn’t have a national championship, Gundy is a proven winner, taking the Cowboys to 11 bowl games in 12 seasons. (This will be his 12th in 13 years.) Gundy could have reached his ceiling at Oklahoma State. And if the reports are true about Gundy being at odds with top booster T. Boone Pickens, it might be the right time for Gundy to make a move.

3. Gary Kubiak (Advisor, Denver Broncos): The former Super Bowl-winning NFL head coach, quarterback and assistant coach at Texas A&M has all the credentials, that’s for sure. Plus, he recently said that he would be open to being an NFL offensive coordinator. Well, Mr. Kubiak, how about coming home and taking your alma mater to new heights?

4. Chad Morris (Head coach, SMU): Another Aggie grad, Morris was instrumental in building the program at Clemson under head coach Dabo Swinney before taking the job at SMU. In just three years he’s taken a Mustangs program in shambles and has them bowl eligible this year at 6-5. He might not have the star power as some of the bigger names out there, but Morris is one of the game’s brightest offensive minds and has proven he can make sizable strides with a program.

5. Dan Mullen (Head coach, Mississippi State … for a few more minutes, we think): Might already be too late, considering all the reports saying he’s about to take over at Florida. But until deals are signed, he certainly should be considered.

6. Lane Kiffin (Head coach, Florida Atlantic): He did a masterful job as OC at Alabama and has FAU a win away from playing for the Conference-USA championship in his first year there; something thought to be unheard of only last season. The Aggies might be looking for a more “stable” candidate, but Kiffin will get an opportunity at another Power-5 conference program.

7. Jeremy Pruitt (DC, Alabama): Another in the long line of successful assistants under Nick Saban, Pruitt looks to follow in the footsteps of Fisher at Florida State, where Pruitt helped win a national championship, and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart. If the Aggies can’t land a bigger name, this one could end up being a steal.

8. Scott Frost (Head coach, UCF): One report already has the former Nebraska quarterback headed back to his alma mater. Regardless, Frost has to be on the radar of every team in need of a new coach. He has the Knights undefeated and ranked in the Top 20 with an opportunity to play in a New Year’s Six Bowl game. That’s rather impressive when you consider the team went 0-12 in 2015, the year prior to his arrival. Central Florida leads the nation in scoring, averaging 48.2 points per game.

9. Brent Venables (DC, Clemson): Although he appears to be content with remaining in the background of Clemson’s rise to the top of college football, it seems time for the 46-year-old to venture out and head his own program. If the timing is right, this is another name to look at if the Aggies don’t bring Fisher to College Station.

10. Mike Leach (Head coach, Washington State): It’s a long shot, but Leach would bring a breath of fresh air to the SEC and focus on the Aggies program if they could lure him away from Pullman. That’s a big “if” but who knows what might happen if enough money is tossed his way.
