I said Stoops early on, but no SOS or Jr on staff, but a young staff full of recruiters.
Who should Mullen's replacement be?

Stoops remains very close to SOS. He knows what’s going on here. As much as we like to laugh at the tired overplayed notion of him returning to his roots, anything can happen. He’s 61. That’s young enough for one more run. He’s been out of the game long enough that you figure he’s either solidly gone or itching to give it one more try. He’d be a wildly popular pick.

Can we all please stop with this Spurrier madness? The best we can hope for is that he has a voice in the coaching decision. And even that's questionable with this administration. Stoops? He's been out of football for five years and out of Florida for 20. No relationship with high school coaches, he's had his chances to coach UF and now he's 61. No.
It's time to get on the Lane train. Good recruiter, cocky, stirs things up on Twitter, can run an offense, can hire a good DC, no buyout, is losing his QB and starting over after this year, and almost certainly would take the job. AR would be the best QB he could get his hands on next year and an instant potential Heisman. LFG.

Too soon for a thread about the head coach that’ll take over from the one we hire now. This one is gonna be f-ed, but we may have hope after that.
I NEVER thought I’d want Kiffin b/c I have disdain for everything about him but my perception of his ability to coach (and I truly don’t have a lot of confidence in my perception there). However, this program has been sh!t for 2 HC regimes, so it’s hard to claim the high ground on anyone.
I don’t see UF as one of the top jobs in NCAAF. Bad facilities for 20 years, bad roster, bad recruiting the last several years so relationships have to be mended, no indication UF will staff up recruiters / analysts, proven record of poor support from AD on those fronts, AD whose future is in doubt (so the hire could be “someone else’s guy” within the year), sky high expectations based on the good old days under 2 HoF coaches, etc. It’s a job you take for the money.

When you're buying an investment property, would you buy a nice property in a bad neighborhood or the disheveled, run-down unkempt house in the nice neighborhood?

The facilities will be done by the time current HS seniors will be ready to use them. The roster is imperfect but could easily be made into a decent group with competent scheme and coaching, not to mention having someone like AR and the impact of the portal for stopgaps. And it will be a job offering someone 7mil+. I know we bag on things, but UF is absolutely still a top job. A big name hire will immediately right things.

I don't think Kiffin leaves Ole Miss for UF.....I mean has anyone seen the talent walking around that place? Its like a southern belle version of a Victorias Secret fashion show

I grew up rooting for the Cincinnati Reds. They were a dynasty that competed with the Yankees for a decades, and a team with a long history of winning. Then the management went slumlord. The words they used were very similar to Fooley's regarding not getting into spending battles etc.
Today the idea that the Reds could compete ever again is laughable. They destroyed their own income and fanbase. Kids grew up not caring about watching the Reds lose. The organization now celebrates going a game or two over .500 or when the get the odd good player here or there.
We are they.
Once your management powerdives into the ground, it is a long damn way back up.

Apples and pears. You can’t compare the two. Certain things in college football that aren’t in professional sports are hard wired.

Note I started my post saying I had heard Stoops talk, not that I think it happens. I was simply providing a scenario which might make some sense long term, not saying it should happen. Old Spurrier is still far better than most young coaches out there I have seen mentioned. I would take either over keeping Mullen though.
No way Fuchs allows Kiffen here. Gruden may have a better chance than him and that’s saying a lot.
To reiterate though.l would take either of them over keeping Mullen as well..

The available seats, the student population and the number of recruits south of Gainesville that could change their minds given a few changes in circumstances.
Seriously, who cares about the number of students distracted by an iOS update?
Nothing is forever. You know that. Stop banging your head against the wall.
