Luke Fickell, Cincinnati HC
Fickell is a proven defensive playcaller at the college level and he’s had some success as the head man in Cincinnati too, but the real reason he’s on this list is his relationship with Mike Vrabel. Fickell was Vrabel’s teammate at Ohio State and the best man in his wedding. The two former college roommates still run their 2nd and 7 charity together and Fickell gave Vrabel his first job in coaching in 2011 when Fickell was the interim head coach for the Buckeyes.
Would the chance to team up with his good friend be enough to lure Fickell out of his own promising head coaching path in the college game?
I can’t imagine Fickle would leave a head coaching gig for a DC position. And Cincinnati is doing well.
