and others. Are there enough quality replacements?

I only worry about Maryland and Rutgers because directly impact the BIG East. The only way I care about who takes the other jobs is if one of our assistants takes the job. It is the price you pay for success, is assistants move on. I see Durkin is one of the favorites for the Maryland job. The coaching merry-go-round will be fun to watch as an outsider. I see Abbott from Toledo took the Iowa State job and Babers from Bowling Green is a favorite for several job. P J Fleck from Western is a favorite for the Rutgers job. I do not like to MAC jobs open up, they usually target BIG assistant coaches.

Cross USC off the list, they promoted their interim HC.

I think Durkin may hold out a bit longer. I don't think he's quite ready for the real biggies like Georgia, Miami (and believe me with the right coach, playing in the ACC in that talent-rich area they turn around in a flash) or USC (if it was still available) and I don't see him settling for basement rebuilds like Maryland or Rutgers. South Carolina, maybe is an option.

Georgia and Miami will go big (another seasoned, successful coach at a lower tier school like what Washington did with Peterson) or hiring a visible coordinator from a top-10 college school or dipping into the pros for someone who wants breathing space (i.e. Chip Kelly).
