you immediately reach out to these 5 people in this order and see if there is any interest: coaching searches are all about timing and These 5 people won't be available long so u can't miss your window.....
1) Gruden ( you make that call knowing it's not likely but you aren't the AD for the job if you aren't willing to make that call )
2) Tressel - hands down had to be called
3) Chip Kelly
4) Petrino
5) Les Miles
Any of those 5 would dominate the East and be in Atlanta 5-6 times the next 7-8 years - if they aren't interested you stick with Butch one more year. If he leaves this year you try to hire:
McIntyre ( his resume is really strong and hard to ignore
Marrone
Cutcliffe
Narduzzi
PJ Fleck ( boom or bust hire but his upside looks really good )
