Yeah, it took him some time but I think he's got "it". Some do, some don't.

I don't know yet... not enough data in my opinion... He will make a good P5 coach, but being a good P5 coach, and a top 5 program coach are two different things. I don't see the evidence he is a top 5 program coach yet.

Strong gets my vote. Forget what happened at Texas. The state of Florida, esp South Florida, is a different recruiting environment, and, yeah, his skin color probably has at least something to do with that. Fact is, he kills it in Florida. He's well known to Florida people and he understands the SEC. He'd energize the fan base, hopefully bring in somebody competent to run the offense, put some life back in the program.
I'm sick and tired of hearing about offensive-minded coaches who either aren't offensive-minded or have no clue how to stop people. Strong would be available and I'd take him.

Yep and those who love Herman also love Fleck.
Here's the difference with Herman, to a degree... he came up through the HS Coaching ranks in Texas, and other lower tier Texas schools, right? He has a major connection. Fleck doesn't have the same.

It was on swamp. The whole thread got deleted after the piss poor performance. Don't mind the heat or negativity, I can take it unlike our current head coach.

I posted this yesterday (it's a cut and paste). We need to be realistic about the hire. We're very likely not luring a proven commodity from a P5 program....
Like I posted earlier, (imo) a REALISTIC hire is Bryan Harsin at Boise (although he is a former Boise player and was born in Boise, so pulling him could be hard). But his track record is super impressive (61-5 as the OC at Boise, 7-5 in one year at Arkansas State, and 31-8 in 3 years a BSU).
Others to consider:
Matt Rhule at Temple (27-23 overall, but 10-4 and 9-3 this year...likely a 10th win coming).
Neil Brown at Troy (13-10 overall, former UK coach and player) - I'd prefer a coach w/ more experience but his offense is great (not above average, but great).
Phillip Montgomery at Tulsa (15-10, another great offensive coach) - again, would prefer more experience.
Jeff Brohm at Western Kentucky (29-10, former Petrino assistant).
Larry Fedora.
Scott Satterfield, Appalachian State (31-18, led them from 1AA to D1).

Miles/Kiffin 2017. They can recruit and the combo could beat Saban. You don't know if you don't ask.

My first choice would be Harsin. I'd have to do more research on the others to give a educated opinion right now. Montgomery has definitely done a solid job there.

The more research I do on Fleck, the more I am blown away by him. The whole zero Power 5 exp thing is worrisome, but Im thinking you have to take a chance for this guy. He's that good.
Id love Charlie Strong too, but only if he brought with him his O coordinator he had this year at Texas. Charlie would absolutely own the recruiting trail for us from day 1...
Bryan Harsin is a name Id love as well. Guy can flat out coach. After those three, I guess maybe Mullen. I think he'd do good here and have a much more exciting O. And dare I say Lane Kiffin? Although his maturity level will always be an unknown. But my god can he recruit.
