My top 5 was as follows:
Saban - I thought there was zero chance, but the name was out there, I wanted those defenses he had at LSU. I thought he bwas unobtainium.
Spurrier - I know some people on Lake Martin that know Bill Oliver personally, and there was more interest by Spurrier than many ppl realize according to Brother. Brother wanted to come back here, and would have (at least tried) if Spurrier did.
Butch Davis - I knew he might be a gamble, but I was knew he was a pretty good coach.
Rich Rod (I know, I know...)
Paul Johnson - What can I say - his agent, dabaxter, was wearing on me!
After the Rich Rod hire/no hire ordeal - I thought Paul Johnson would be about the best we could do.
