Most assistants on the road recruiting

With the exception of offensive line coach Hugh Nall and defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads, Auburn’s staff of assistants will continue meeting with potential recruits and going about their daily business.
Nall has already cleaned out his office and has been rumored to be close to signing elsewhere. Rhoads’ name was in the mix for the open job at Utah State before Gary Andersen was named the Aggies’ coach Thursday.
It doesn’t necessarily mean Rhoads, or Nall for that matter, are entirely gone, but it’s a telling sign.

Need to check the rumor mill as the unofficial word from one of Auburn’s meeting of the minds breakfast spots has it a done deal with Spurrier and supposedly had a committment before Tubby and Jacobs even talked.

So, who are now the top candidates? Is there an official list, or is it up to the speculators? I have seen everyone from Turner Gil to Houston Nutt, and then Petrino, Fisher, Kelly, etc. I am just curious if there is an actual list, and if so, who is the frontrunner… Thanks for the info thus far!!! And War Eagle!!
