I used to think so, but I think he's recently demonstrated that he's a Coordinator, not a Head Coach.Charlie strong would be my vote... New AD, he might come back...
Foley. Gone.Charlie Strong would never come back here anyway, that bridge was burned long ago.
From your mouth to God's ear (or bank account, which seems more appropriate).
Muffin excorcising the demons of Pope Urban. That's funny.I'm pretty sure Lane Kiffin could do better, but I don't want him. Kinda how I feel about James Franklin. A lot of people wanted him, and he's obviously a very good coach, but I don't like how things went down at Vandy when he left so I don't trust him either. Who are we kidding? We could hire anybody and it wouldn't matter. Meyer sold his soul and our program's future to the devil when he was here and we're still paying our debt. That's how it feels anyway...
I want a coach that's a man, preferably around 40! And with a pretty sick mullet to boot....
I bet we can get them all on the cheap.Bob Stoops is free now, too! Let's have a super staff with Saban, Stoops, Kelly, Gruden, and Ox.
First requirement is that the candidate have been a head coach before, we do not need another Zook or Duncechump experiment. We are Florida, not a program with training wheels.
Chip Kelly, Les Miles, Bob Stoops.....all not coming here so just mark them off the list.
My Top Five, In No Particular Order:
1. Fuente - grab him now or never, once he gets entrenched at VT, he would be hard to pry away.
2. Fedora - stop #2 on his head coaching career, done well to clean up mess Butch Davis left at UNC, got screwed against Clemson in ACCC game last year.
3. Niumatalolo - a stretch, only if he hires a top notch OC and scraps the triple option, disciplinarian that would have already shown Callaway, and likely the other 8 suspended players, the door permanently.
4. Gundy - he is a man, pay the man and give him the keys (he is #1 on my personal list right now, and we can get him)
5. Whittingham - would be hard to pry from Utah, but a legit HC.
Guys like Morris, Frost, and Babers are still relatively new on the HC scene and need more time.
A wild card name to toss out there is Narduzzi at Pitt, he is only 17-10 or so there as HC so far, but he did beat both the ACC (national) and Big Ten champ last season.
I love Niumatalolo. But no way he ditches that offense.First requirement is that the candidate have been a head coach before, we do not need another Zook or Duncechump experiment. We are Florida, not a program with training wheels.
