I wasn't a big tech fan until I enrolled in 2003. who were we considering before settling for Chan?
The interim coach Mac Whorter (a fan favorite) was given a courtesy interview but was never a serious candidate. Some still female dog about him not being given the job, but he's never been given serious consideration as a HC anywhere in D1.
Tom O'Brian (HC at BC at the time) reportedly was a serious contender, but he withdrew when the Hill refused to grant more academic exceptions.
Ty Willingham was supposedly interviewed as well.
Note: the above is what I recall from the time and was based on hearsay from people who may or may not have had inside info.
