Skipper is probably it if we win 2-3 more and are (more) competitive v. Ohio St. If we win only 2 more, one would have to be 'SC (and honestly, he would probably have to beat Nebraska and 'SC, and not get destroyed by Ohio St, and he would get the job the day after beating 'SC.
If we don't beat Nebraska and 'SC, the most likely candidate is Sean Lewis of SDSU.
Alternatively, we get a Coordinator, either high level program (Think Tosh Lupoi of Oregon) or NFL.
If Jerry can turn around the offensive 'slump' the past 2 games, I can also see us trying for someone who is good but recently retired - Chris Peterson of UW/Boise is one name we tried multiple times to get, but failed, but I could see him being brought on for a couple of years on an express plan to get Jerry ready (he's not, and won't be for a few years). If we could get him, tho the 2-3 year max might be something he'd go for.
