That's right. It's going to be whatever the market will bear, as always. If he's interested in Florida, we will have to pay up.

Even an Abomb wouldn't blast Gruden away from the cushy job he has now. Money isn't everything, especially if you have plenty of it. Of course, kissing backsides of a bunch of HS prima donnas might sway him to go to college.Something to break up the monotony, the fans here in Knoxville think they are getting Gruden based souly on the fact that his in-laws on land in Jefferson County ( close to Kville) and that his wife went to school at EWt.

I didn't bother to read the article once I saw that Hays Carlyon was the author. Not sure about now, but he was a total FSU homer while he worked for the Florida Times Union. He doesn't want UF to get the best coach out there.

@Joe_Vizz1: In Scott Frost's tenure as Oregon's offensive coordinator, the Ducks ranked #2, #3, and #5 in the nation in Total Offense.

When was this (what years)? Under Chip?
How does that compare to Mac's Offense when OC at Alabama, or Nuss?
Sorry, after getting burned on the MacNuss braintrust, I'm not putting much merit in OC offense rankings under a strong HBC.

Bring in Urban after he goes on this three game skid and Columbus flushes him out with tiki torches. We can just crack jokes about Shelly on here, again.

He coached under Kelly and Helfrich. He was the WR's coach, then moved into the OC role.
Obviously no hire is a sure thing, even proven coaches fail when they take over other programs. What works at one school often does not work at another (look at all the Saban-tree failures).
Frost won a national championship in college as a starting QB. He played at Stanford and Nebraska. He played several years in the NFL, on defense. He's been a college OC, DC, and head coach....w/ success. He coaches at a university in the state of Florida (so recruiting won't be as difficult of a transition). He's winning w/ a 5'11 QB. I could go on and on. The only negative w/ Frost is: "he's ONLY been a head coach for 2 years..." Other than that, what's not to like?

Just a reminder, Nebraska hired Oregon's ex AD (Moos) to make this hire for them.

"Established" coaches who have a long history of mediocrity. People keep asking, "What has Frost done?" But what the hell have these coaches done? Gundy = 1 Big 12 championship in 12 years. Milquetoast. All these guys bring is their history of being good enough to keep their jobs. They aren't transformative, which is what UF needs in the worst way.
Frost brings as much, or more, in the way of offensive bonafides as Gundy in that he's done it in less that two years starting with an offense which was dead last. Not just bad, dead last. He took a moribund program, (sound familiar) and brought it to life by transforming the mindset and creating excitement among players, recruits and fans. I can't think of a program in the country that needs that more than Florida.

What happens if it’s not Frost? What if it comes out afterwards that we never even spoke to him and we end up hiring Mullen? I’ve seen coaches searches in the past where everyone has a candidate they love but the school goes another way. I hope Stricklin is hearing the voices of Gator Nation and not just making this decision on his own.

Look everyone else is just as frantic about azzholes continually saying Cousin Eddy Mullins.
It wont be him. UAA and everyone in ADs office hates him.
Even if they were to hire him, you could just join me and most Gators in turning it off for three years.

You are betting on Frost being an NC level coach. Really, what are those odds? There's not much to go on other than a year and a half at UCF, I''l repeat UCF, where he hasn't really been tested in anyway. Projecting what he will be is a crap shoot. who has better odds? A consistent 10 game winner form a 2nd tier P5 school or an unproven up and comer from a G5 school?
