gently caress man. I like never really even considered Kelly as a possibility because I thought he'd just meander back to the Pac12, but now that I tasted the possibility I'm definitely feeling the weight of the disappointment.

The more I read about Taggart the more I like him. I like Frost a lot too.

I don't want to see Strong on the sideline really.

Goddamn it. So close to landing the best available coach. gently caress gently caress gently caress.

bro it's gonna be okay. even if he came to UF, he wasn't gonna be there for long

A guy like Frost or Mullen might be better suited to stabilize things.

UCLA isn’t a better job than Florida in a vacuum but it makes more sense for chip kelly specifically. He knows the conference, his personality is a better fit at a school where football isn’t the most important thing in the world and he recruited LA a ton while he was at Oregon. I don’t think Florida fans should freak out that much about it, they’re still gonna get a good coach

The whole thing is a roll of the dice. Mac was considered a good hire. so was Muschamp.

If we get Frost or Mullen then those will be considered good hires too. But no one really knows.

Tennessee update

quote:

Sources tell FootballScoop Tennessee AD John Currie has been working the phones and putting in the hours expected of a UT AD during a coaching search. This search has been referred to as “thorough” by more than one person in the profession to FootballScoop.

Before we get into the real stuff, we are reminded in accordance with Tennessee state law, in connection with any Tennessee coaching search we are required to mention Jon Gruden’s name somewhere prominently in the article. Jon Gruden was never a candidate for this job. That is all.

Now, for the update. While we have heard from sources throughout the week that Currie feels comfortable with Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano if he needs to go there, the buzz in the profession the past 24 hours has been that Mike Leach seems to have a very good shot at being offered the position.

The expectation from those we’ve spoken with is that Leach would accept the position if offered. We can further add that sources tell FootballScoop Washington State officials have had internal discussions about their plans should Leach move on (in addition to Tennessee, Leach could be wind up being a target at other SEC schools as well). In the event they need to make a hire, sources tell FootballScoop Washington State would move without hesitation to promote defensive coordinator Alex Grinch to head coach.


Now, back on the Tennessee front, word has been shared that Dan Mullen reportedly headed out recently to meet with John Currie. It is unclear at this time if Tennessee funded that trip or if Jimmy Sexton did.

Tennessee and Ohio State play today and Washington State plays tonight. A Washington State win tonight would send Leach’s squad into the Pac-12 Championship and Ohio State has already punched their ticket for the Big Ten Championship. It is unclear it Tennessee would be able to secure either Leach or Schiano before those games.

Now you're just some QB that I used to know
Florida is now a baseball school.

But for real, I had reservations about Muschamp the same way I did about Zook. At the time, and even now, Florida is not a good school to learn how to be a head coach. Spurrier and Meyer each had head coaching experience coming into the gig. Thats why I never liked the Zook hire and was hesitant about Muschamp. Mac at least had a couple good years at Colorado State, so I thought he was going to work out.

I think any talk of a bidding war between Nebraska and Florida is nonsense, because Frost's track record shows (and the people who know him — and poo poo, there have been a lot of them on Nebraska sports radio in recent weeks — think) he's not really motivated by money. I know y'all my think that's naive, but it really seems like the case with him. He's always been a different dude.

I would not be surprised if he stayed at UCF. Much love to you, Gator goons, but I would be surprised if he went to Gainesville.

(... Now watch Florida pull in Taggart and Frost go to Oregon)

Mac would probably still be there if he wasn't loyal to a fault to his assistants.

Mike Leach doesn't seem good for a school that until recently was offended by the notion of the forward pass, but Moos was able to convince him to come WSU so he may have the inside track on that.
