Actually, I think their recent downturn may work to our advantage if Foley is interested in him. My theory is, UF will always have a good to great defenses because of pure talent. Any D-coordinator with a good plan and scheme will do well at UF. Therefore, we need an offensive guru type as head coach. The fact that they've hit a wall may mean he'd leave TexasAM for UF. Sumlin, in my opinion, would be off the charts with offensive recruiting at Florida.

Who wouldn't want to see what Treon Harris and/or Will Grier could do in Sumlin's system? I like the possibilities of that!

I think he is a good one. They have fell apart the past few games however but I highly doubt they let him leave there.

He just needs to get rid of the shiiiiitty Tressel spawn DC.

Yeah, he can leave that bozo in College Station. Sumlin can hire a top notch DC and bring him to Gainesville, and with these athletes we have on defense, watch out!

I think Sumlin is an above average coach, getting more out of players on the offensive side of the ball than their actual talent. TAMU is still TAMU whether they are in the SEC or Big 12, capturing middle of the road recruits. Put Sumlin in a place like UF and he will go off.

A great quarterback can make or break a coach. Auburn and Gene Chizik. Florida State and Jimbo.

Sumlin has a looong history of outstanding offenses, long before Manziel. He's 60-25 as a head coach at Houston and TexasAM. Although I think he's a long shot to leave TexasAM, he'd recruit extremely well at UF and we'd field offenses that are other-worldly compared to this crap we've seen for the last 4 years.

I think Sumlin would do good at Florida, but a lot of Florida fans think all UF has to do is put out some money and any coach would jump at the chance to move to Gainesville. I hate to break it to you, but that ain't so.

This. Almost every name I've seen thrown out I think turns UF down. The only coach I think we could get in the SEC would be Bielema who I like. Dan Quinn will be coaching in the NFL. Jim Harbaugh ain't coming here. I have no clue as to why his name is getting thrown out there. If you want the next HC to have head coaching experience then he is likely to be from a smaller school like ECU's Ruffin McNeil.

No, no, no, no on Bielema, respectfully. We've had it with this "let's be the biggest, most lumbering 1980's style Big 10 run offense we can be" and that's Bielema. Plus, the guy is like, 0-12 in the SEC or some such.
