Greg Roberts dropped six names on his radio show on Tuesday.  Let’s talk about all six names on the list.

Here are the six names…

Whit Babcock: Cincinnati AD
Warde Manuel: UConn AD
Michael Kelly: COO of the College Football Playoff
Chris Plonsky: AD of Women’s Sports at the University of Texas
Jeff Bourne: James Madison AD
John Ballein: VT Associate AD for football operations (IE, Beamer’s right hand man)

Note that Roberts never said that they were the finalists, which is the story that first made the rounds.  He said he thought Tech’s AD would be one of the six people above, and he also said that he thought there was no way that John Ballein would get the job.  Roberts went on to say that his gut feeling told him that Whit Babcock would end up being the guy.
