Florida's Kevin O'Sullivan could be top candidate to replace Augie Garrido at Texas

A short list of five candidates who may become just the fourth Texas baseball head coach since 1940.

The Texas Longhorns baseball program has only been coached by three men since 1940 -- Bibb Falk, Cliff Gustafson, and of course, Augie Garrido, who relinquished his duties on Monday. These three coaches have 35 College World Series appearances between them, and six national championships.

A job opening at the University of Texas truly comes once in a lifetime, but is the position still prestigious enough to sway top coaches? The competition in the Big 12 is surpassed by the ACC and even the SEC, and some potential job candidates may not want to leave their cozy, winning environment to take on a pressure-filled project in a struggling Longhorns team.
