The Coaching Search Thread

Not so sure UCF would pony up that kind of money. I know he has put them back in the national spotlight but, Herman was the first to make 3 million per season. Tuberville made 2.2 million per season. I would say UCF may go 3.5 million maybe. Going to be fun to see all this play out. I bet its 4 or 4.5 to get Frost here.

Go Gators!!!

If we go with the low ball price, we won’t get him. And after we are turned down by a couple coaches, it will be easier to be turned down by more. If he’s the one we can want the most open the checkbook. It cost more in the long run to go the cheap route.

Hell, he stopped just short of calling Mullen a prick at the press conference. It was clear he couldn't stand the guy. There's nothing to worry about on that front.

I agree. Strickland and Mullen I think may strongly dislike one another.

Which agent represents Frost?

Brock Spack... guy just screams football and intensity... not to mention the best mustache in the college game.

I was about to ask if he was an uncle of yours or something, then I realized the cardinal on his hat is Illinois State and not Louisville. Damn homer.

he definitely looks like a guy that screams that's for sure

What about Pistol Pete Lembo? I played for him at Lehigh. He's currently the associate head coach under DJ Durkin at Maryland and looks like the love child of a fatter John Oliver and Arthur the Aardvark.

The good news for you is I think it's already a done deal. Just have to wait until 11/24/17.

Hope so!

@GridironNow: Mike Norvell makes all the sense in the world for Florida, but he makes more sense for another SEC team.

Spoiler: Arkansas

Also of note:
"Don’t be surprised if new coaches at Ole Miss, Arkansas and Tennessee have higher base pay than whomever the Gators hire.

Furthermore, Florida has to hire a guy who is beyond ecstatic to be at Florida. They can’t hire a coach weighing offers from them, the Vols, the Rebels and maybe Arkansas – now or later. Florida can’t hire a guy who lists four schools across the top of a legal pad and starts listing “pros” and “cons.”

Norvell vs Frost.

Taggart: @AndrewGreif: Asked Willie why he addressed Florida talk directly w Ducks. Said he wanted to shut it down when his son texted him, “are we moving again?”
