MTSU political science professor Kent Syler foresees several opportunities for Tennesseans to find a place in the administrations of Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, depending on who wins the Nov. 8 election.

Potential Trump picks:

-- U.S. Sen. Bob Corker as secretary of State

-- U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who spoke at the Republican National Convention

-- U.S. Rep. Diane Black, an outspoken Trump supporter

-- Gov. Bill Haslam, although he called for Trump to let vice presidential candidate Mike Pence take over the race.

Potential Clinton picks:

-- Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke

-- Nashville Mayor Megan Barry

-- Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero

-- Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland

-- Former Nashville Mayor Karl Dean

-- Mike McWherter, son of the late Gov. Ned McWherter

-- Former U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon, a Democrat from Murfreesboro

-- Former Nashville mayoral candidates Charles Robert Bone and Bill Freeman.
