If Wake hired a football "Coach in Waiting"...who would you want?

Set aside the practicalities as applied to Wake or whether you like the "coach in waiting" concept at all. Answer as if it's a given that Wake would do this.

Who?

I though about Steve Spurrier Jr. at USCe as a result of name recognition, experience, familiarity with our recruiting territory and the fact that he knows a small academic school can win because he knows what his Dad did at Duke. Steve Sr. was pulled by UF boosters back to his alma mater...Steve Jr. has no such obvious landing pad.

Also UF Coordinator Brent Pease comes to mind, though he would see us as a two year stepping stone.

These might be bad suggestions...anybody lighting it up at lower profile schools that come to mind?

Knowing Ron Wellman, we would either pick Ron English from E. Michigan (10-38) or Jeff Quinn from Buffalo (9-27).

We definitely want to pick a career loser that it on the verge of getting canned at his current, less respected school that plays a less challenging conference.
 
Ricky Proehl, he should have a lot of NFL experience by this time.
