So who's on their list?

Here's a look at some possible candidates to succeed Tyrone Willingham.

I'd be interested to know whom you favor and if you think there's anyone else should be on this list.

Jim Mora/Asst. coach, Seahawks/In line to be the next head coach of the Seahawks but the Huskies at least have to find out if he's interested.

Gary Pinkel/Head coach, Missouri/Former Husky assistant (1979-1990) has contract at Missouri through 2012. But another whom the Huskies probably at least have to hear tell them no.

Pat Hill/Head coach, Fresno State/Has long been thought to covet the job and knows the West Coast. Also is well-respected by Nick Saban, whom Mark Emmert and Scott Woodward hired at LSU.

Lane Kiffin/former head coach, Oakland Raiders/Another thought to be interested in the job and has ties to the Pac-10 because of a six-year stint at USC.

Chris Petersen/Head coach, Boise State/Thought to prefer a lower spotlight in Boise, but UW could pay him a lot more than he's making in Boise.

Will Muschamp/defensive coordinator, Texas/Was defensive coordinator at LSU when Tigers won national title in 2003 and Emmert and Woodward in charge in Baton Rouge. But may be more interested in Clemson job.

Dave Christensen/offensive coordinator, Missouri/A native of Everett and was a walk-on at UW from 1980-82. Knows well the spread option offense that would fit Jake Locker and was interested in the WSU opening last year.

Jeff Tedford/Head coach, Cal/It's thought UW tried to make a big run at him in 2004 but he wasn't interested. Might be more interested now, though contract, which runs through 2013, may make it hard for him to leave.

Mike Leach/Head coach, Texas Tech/Was thought interested last time and may be again. But has a quirky personality that may not fit well in a big market.
