Brewster - Unlikely to be selected by JP, lacks track record as a leader of a team. Career as position coach without at least coordinator leaves too many doubts.
Rhoads - Finalist and low risk choice. Great career progression, strong ISU connection.
Norvell - Finalist also lower risk choice. Good career progression, strong creditionals as Coordinator of NU's offensive remake. Wants ISU job. Minority candidate.
Harbaugh - Coaches son. Relative new comer as coach but has outstanding track record. Highest risk, but may be highest reward choice. Passionate, demanding, experienced (not as HC, but has lived football)
My prediction. Jeter and GMac are Harbaugh and Norvell.
Norvell is new ISU coach. (I would be just as happy with Harbaugh...perhaps even more so, but like either choice) Least excited about Brewster.
Now all that said it is probably a name that is not on my list...oh well speculation is fun.
