Gus Malzahn, Tulsa Offensive Coordinator.In his first season away from the soap opera that was Arkansas football during his one season there, Malzahn simply led the nation in total offense. Only two years removed from the high school ranks, Malzahn may have another baby step before getting a BCS head gig. Potential Jobs: Arkansas, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State.

Turner Gil, Buffalo. Gil has quietly moved Buffalo out from the bottom barrel of college football programs. Buffalo's five wins last season was the program's most since 1996 and first time with over three wins since becoming a I-A program. Gil was fairly raw when he got this head coaching job, but appears to be learning on the job. Expect a bowl this season. Potential Jobs: Nebraska, Minnesota.
Al Golden, Temple. Golden got a serious look from UCLA this past off-season. There's a decent chance that the MAC East could be a showdown between Buffalo and Temple this season. Shows what coaching can do. Potential Jobs: Penn State, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati.
Butch Jones, Central Michigan. He was considered for the West Virginia job, but probably needs more time to prove himself. Jones hopes to cash in on having the talented Dan LeFevour by landing a BCS gig. Potential Jobs: West Virginia, Rutgers, Michigan State.
Jerry Kill, Northern Illinois. He's yet to be a coach at the I-A level, but had tremendous success in a difficult situation at Southern Illinois. Potential Jobs: Northwestern, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri.
Tom Amstutz, Toledo. Toledo Tom has had a good run, but his best days may be behind him. Unless it's felt that he would be a sure fire success, AD's may choose to pass on the bloated, Curly look-alike, Amstutz. Potential Jobs: Cincinnati, Indiana.
