Just for grins, let's go head coach shopping

[78]

OMG, I am laughing at that one.

 

[URGatorBait]

I'm watching Frost.
The timing of his rise and Mac demise could match up perfectly, and being at UCF, he may be making the connections we will need in recruiting in Florida.

We'll see what he does this season.

 

[Circle City Gator]

Charlie strong would be my vote... New AD, he might come back...

I used to think so, but I think he's recently demonstrated that he's a Coordinator, not a Head Coach.

 

[QueenCityGator]

After putting together a list of 100 coaches proposed by everyone on GCMB to replace Muschamp, looks like it's time for another list to be created for replacing McElwain

 

[PaterLacerta]

Charlie Strong would never come back here anyway, that bridge was burned long ago.

Foley. Gone.

And there's no such thing as a burned bridge that money won't fix. That said, Louisville to Texas was hardly an example of lightning in a bottle.

Sorry I'm not contributing, but after that opener, I just want this nightmare to end...

 

[PaterLacerta]

From your mouth to God's ear (or bank account, which seems more appropriate).

I'm pretty sure Lane Kiffin could do better, but I don't want him. Kinda how I feel about James Franklin. A lot of people wanted him, and he's obviously a very good coach, but I don't like how things went down at Vandy when he left so I don't trust him either. Who are we kidding? We could hire anybody and it wouldn't matter. Meyer sold his soul and our program's future to the devil when he was here and we're still paying our debt. That's how it feels anyway...

Muffin excorcising the demons of Pope Urban. That's funny.

Justin Fuente

His style, Florida athletes....win

 

[FireFoley]

When this actual topic becomes reality, then I will put in my 2 cents, until then I will refrain.

 

[BigClawsBrother]

Tim Tebow. He's never let us down before ....

 

[MertzJay26]

I want a coach that's a man, preferably around 40! And with a pretty sick mullet to boot....

Dude, are you pounding sangrias again?

First requirement is that the candidate have been a head coach before, we do not need another Zook or Duncechump experiment. We are Florida, not a program with training wheels.

Chip Kelly, Les Miles, Bob Stoops.....all not coming here so just mark them off the list.

My Top Five, In No Particular Order:

1. Fuente - grab him now or never, once he gets entrenched at VT, he would be hard to pry away.

2. Fedora - stop #2 on his head coaching career, done well to clean up mess Butch Davis left at UNC, got screwed against Clemson in ACCC game last year.

3. Niumatalolo - a stretch, only if he hires a top notch OC and scraps the triple option, disciplinarian that would have already shown Callaway, and likely the other 8 suspended players, the door permanently.

4. Gundy - he is a man, pay the man and give him the keys (he is #1 on my personal list right now, and we can get him)

5. Whittingham - would be hard to pry from Utah, but a legit HC.

Guys like Morris, Frost, and Babers are still relatively new on the HC scene and need more time.

A wild card name to toss out there is Narduzzi at Pitt, he is only 17-10 or so there as HC so far, but he did beat both the ACC (national) and Big Ten champ last season.

 

[MidwestChomp]

Bob Stoops is free now, too! Let's have a super staff with Saban, Stoops, Kelly, Gruden, and Ox.

I bet we can get them all on the cheap.

I'd risk Fedora considering who's going to be available.

I love Niumatalolo. But no way he ditches that offense.

 

[kepler]

Why so sure Gundy is obtainable and Kelly is not? If Foley was here he wouldn't pay for either. Since he's not, call Chip.

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Chip Kelly....NCAA sanctions....pass. We are already begging them to snoop around Gainesville with the debit card bull****, hiring Chip would have them renting a long-term suite at the Hilton Conference Center the next day after the hire.
