It's sort of a tough time to be in the market for a DC

PSU and Oklahoma are also in the market for a while, which is interesting. Guys like Bryant Haines just got an extension, likely with an extended buyout -- before the CFP you would have sent IU maybe $2m but now that's closer to $4m. I think it would be a bit out of budget to pluck that type of guy.

Otherwise you're looking maybe "in-network" for a guy like Mike Tressel, who's in the Cincy/OSU mafia. Bad news there is his work at Wisconsin has been less than great.

An option might be to bring in an experienced guy like Doug Belk while elevating Mickens to DC.

I'm not seeing a Golden type of hire floating around the NFL.

It's also tough because you're looking at Spring Ball starting up pretty soon, which accelerates the timeline. You might have to let 2025 play out with deck you have and make a play down the road if it doesn't work out.
