My wife is a big Doug Flutie fan - we have a collector box of Flutie Flakes (and a Flutie Flakes chocolate bar) in a display case at home.

He's a pretty good drummer too.

If I had to throw a few bucks on who I thought could pull it off, it would be Flutie.

I saw that interview with Wade Phiips where he says he screwed up by playing Johnson against the Titans, and he thinks that Flutie would have won the game - coaches never say stuff like that.
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

Josh Booty has a better shot IMO.  All state in baseball 4 years in a row out of Shreveport, LA.  Played on the LSU baseball teams at short (best program in the country in the 90s) and drafted #5 overall by the Marlins and won a WS ring.
