Tad Boyle (Colorado)
Pros: Boyle served as the director of basketball operations at Tennessee in 1997 on Jerry Green’s staff, so there is a connection to the Vols. He took a terrible 4-win Northern Colorado team in his first year to 25 wins in his last before taking the Colorado job. He’s been to three NCAA Tournaments at Colorado in the last four years and has a fantastic 51-7 record at home.
Cons: He’s from Colorado and has called it his “dream job.” Would he be willing to leave? His conference record 46–42 (.523) leaves something to be desired and his team had an underwhelming 2014-15 season with a 16-18 record.
