If the Higgs boson isn't found, what is the next best model?

From what I understand, one of the things that scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider are looking for is the reason that particles have mass. Currently, the best guess is the Higgs field. 

My questions is if we don't find evidence for the Higgs field then what is the next best model?

In other words, if they found the Higgs Boson who would be pissed that their pet theory just got disproved?

Everyone would be kinda mad, since there are problems with the standard model without the Higgs. But there are some models where the Higgs is replaced either by something more complicated (like technicolor), or simple (like classicalization). But finding the Higgs as it is is also a bad scenario, since the standard model with the Higgs has some consistency issues (it's called the Hierarchy problem).
