With Al Golden officially terminated, the Miami head football coaching position is available for the first time since 2011.

The Miami job has to be considered enticing, given its long list of current and former NFL players who played for the Hurricanes, its location, and the history of winning. But the program is also coming out from under NCAA- and self-imposed sanctions for an impermissible benefits scandal.

Former Hurricane players and alumni of the school were calling for Golden's termination and the 58-0 home loss to Clemson was likely the final straw. Additionally, Miami has not won an ACC Championship since the conference introduced the title game in 2004.

Highlighted in the 58-0 rout last weekend was the nearly empty stadium, so Miami will need a coach that can rejuvenate the fane base and get alumni and former players excited.

And the speculation is already running wild.

Eager and awaiting a call

Butch Davis told 790 The Ticket on Monday he would "love to be considered for that opportunity," The Palm Beach Post reported. Davis was 51-20 (33-9 in the Big East) from 1995-2000 and his re-hiring would certainly earn the school a major marketing win. Citing an unnamed source, the newspaper learned Davis "will likely be a candidate for the job."

Ed Reed also expressed interest in the job, NFL insider Chris Law learned. Reed is one of the greatest safeties in the history of the NFL and was widely lauded as a player for his "football IQ" and instincts. Reed has no coaching experience, so Miami would have to hire him based solely on his resume and reputation as a player, but the move would be guaranteed to generate a lot of excitement and general attention quickly.

The long shots

Charlie Strong actually laughed when asked about the Miami coaching vacancy, but it is easy to see why his name is being brought up. In his second year at Texas, the team does not seem to be showing much progress, but the school seems willing to stick with Strong nonetheless.

James Franklin also dismissed the notion of leaving his current job for the Miami vacancy. Like Strong, Franklin is working toward revitalizing a proud program in Penn State and neither has finished the task.

Both coaches seem like great fits due to their experience and success at Power Five programs, but it seems to be the wrong time for both to leave their current jobs.

The names that are bound to crop up at some point

Per CBS Sports: Greg Schiano, Rich Rodriguez, Scott Frost, Mark Stoops, Tom Hermann, and more.
