There were some advocating for Iowa State’s Matt Campbell. We even looked into five reasons why they should, before Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports shot that down as well. So where does Chris Del Conte turn? Are we going to see Tom Herman return to Austin by default?

Given the fact that on Wednesday, Dec. 16, the 2021 recruiting class can begin signing their national letters of intent, nothing is likely to happen before then.
