It's possible. Farrell: "A big-name guy who would kill it on the recruiting trail at Michigan. Not as active as some others as far as being directly involved, but his name alone and past success will bring kids to an already storied program." Steve Addazio Record: 27-22 career: 14-11 at Boston College, 13-11 at Temple Salary: N/A Coaching stops: Boston College head coach (2013-pres- ent); Temple head coach (2011-12); Florida offensive coordinator (2009-10) and asst. (2005-08); Indiana asst. (2002-04); Notre Dame asst. (1999-2001; Syracuse asst. (1995-98). Background: Addazio was a high school coach for seven years before landing at Syracuse, and he's contin- ued to move up the ladder. His success at Temple, his first head coaching gig, landed him at B.C., where he's highly regarded. Pros and cons: It's clear he can coach, but Addazio doesn't have the résumé of some others on this list, and he'd be a gamble. Florida fans weren't enamored with his offenses in Gainesville. Farrell: "He's a very intense guy, recruits to his team's need and is a guy who really loves recruiting and gets involved. He would recruit at a very high level but isn't a huge name hire." Les Miles Record: 131-49 career: 103-28 at LSU, 28-21 at Oklahoma State Salary: N/A Coaching Stops: LSU head coach (2005-14); Oklahoma State head coach (2001-04); Dallas Cowboys assistant coach (1998-2000); Oklahoma State assistant coach (1995- 1997); Michigan assistant coach (1987-94); Colorado as- sistant coach (1982-86). Background: Miles was a Michigan offensive lineman who played under Bo Schembechler, coached at Michi- gan under him and Gary Moeller, and headed out to eventually achieve considerable head coaching success at LSU. He put an 8-4 team on the field this season, one headed for the Music City Bowl. Pros and cons: Miles has won a national championship,
