I can only possibly think of three at the moment. One is probably the only realistic chance.
Rocko Deluca: He's on the staff at UMass. He's a Greeley native and received a MA from UNC. He worked at CU for a while with fundraising. Click on the link on UMass website and you'll see he's got a great resume. I think he would be perfect. Lack of experience for certain, but his fundraising skills look impressive, and he knows Greeley and UNC.

Mike Bohn: I doubt this will happen, but who knows? I think he got screwed by CU. He's coaching selections were hit and miss, just like Hinrichs.
Jim O'Day. Former Montana AD. He was a candidate in 2004, but instead Hinrichs was hired. He's working at some firm in Montana and was fired a year and a half ago when all shit hit the fan in Missoula. Not entirely sure if it was his fault though. He knows the Big Sky very well, and has great fundraising skills.

The biggest two things in finding an A.D. is his fundraising skills and his ability to hire good coaches. I would love to have Deluca on board. I think he's a candidate at CU, so if the Buffs pass, we should do everything we can to get him at UNC.
