I don't see SOS taking any active role in coaching. He voluntarily resigned his last active coaching position midway through the season. He obviously hasn't taking an active role in the coaching here since coming aboard as ambassador emeritus, although we don't know how much that may have been limited by Mac. What's he got to gain? His legacy is intact. He's already on top of the mountain. I say let Mac & Co. finish out the season. Line up Petrino, Brohm, Frost, or Gundy, and bring them in immediately after our last game in an effort to salvage the incoming class. The replacement hire should absolutely be dependent on who they want to bring in as a DC.
I don't think Steve has to worry about his legacy. If he were to take over the reigns on an interim basis it would be seen as damn honorable thing that he's doing to help out is beloved Gators and their fans. Hell we might even win a few but we would definitely have a good time in the process.
I'd love them to fire Mac right now and have SOS finish the season as interim HC, but it ain't happening. Mac will be forced to fire Nuss after the season and Mac will be back for 2018. Might as well come to grips with it because that's the likely scenario.
Do you think he gets fired this year?Which has a 2013 feel about it. We aren't going to fire you, but we have so little faith in your decisionmaking that we're going to do it for you. Now go out and win.

I don't see it happening short of us losing out. I still have my doubts about that.I think it's possible, yes. And I understand all the reasons against that thinking, including the buyout.

we do have talent to do great things with.
where is the talent at quarterback? None of the receivers could get open last night.
then you get my point that Franks is lackingWTF? We had wide open receivers all night. Franks just never threw to them. When I say wide open, I mean no DB within 15 yards.

For what it's worth...
Listened to P. Finebaum interview football handicapper Danny Sheridan several weeks ago. Sheridan had just returned from a trip to Gainesville where he spent time conversing with his good friend, Spurrier. Sheridan said SOS missed coaching and would entertain an OC position outside the SEC not wanting to compete against the Gators. F-Baum asked Sheridan whether SOS would take the Gator OC slot if offered. Sheridan said that question never came up but felt strongly SOS would accept.
