Tears Gator Tears

Mike McDaniel’s seat is definitely warming up. Also whatever happened to Matt Campbell? He used to be at the top of everyone’s coaching list. Is he unpopular now?

McDaniels strikes me as more of a college coach I just don’t know how he’d do recruiting.

Franklin will likely be on the list. He is an OK coach but he can recruit and if he has the money to surround himself with good coordinators he would be a good hire.

He is basically stuck behind Mich/OSU and now Rutgers/Cuse is starting to pluck some recruits to dip into their talent pool in that region. Which has some legit high end guys but that second tier only has so much juice. In the SEC region/Florida that talent pool is bigger.

Franklin would be a real good hire for UF. But Franklin will still be in the same spot behind UGA and Bama. For UF you take a PSU season and see if you can break through. But for Franklin it’s basically a lateral move, but money talks.

But ****em this is about tears I hope UF hires Randy Shannon

I too think the Indiana coach would be a good hire...



and he does...Indiana is 5-0

 

[HurricanePhilly]

If Indiana can get by Nebraska they could legit be 9-0 rolling into the Michigan game (OSU the next week).

10/11 wins is possible.

Both he and Siriani coached at the new cradle of coaches, Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

I'm surprised Napes has made it this far into the season. I've got 2 sons at UCF, so on multiple levels I want the lizards to get throttled on Saturday, but after the Knights let the Buffnuts run wild on their field I'm not so sure about this weekend. Lord knows how much I enjoy watching Napes and Prison Mike moping around on the sideline dejected and confused--I'd like to see that continue for a few more seasons. If the lizards win on Saturday, moping Billy could soon be replaced by delusional lizard optimism about their next coach and recruiting "bump." Long live the slide into oblivion....!

Cignetti is 63...so not sure he wants the headache that is Gaytor Football.

I think he's too eccentric to be a good recruiter. He would leave a lot of parents and recruits thinking, "That's a weird *** dude."

PSAC Football has been putting out some names. Gundy is always looking here for guys.

Cignetti's dad is a legend at IUP.

Probably but guys like Leach hang around.

he beats Nebraska, and Michigan and makes it a game vs OSU and he'll be a legend in Indiana.

Still wouldn't be a take for UiF... it's not Kiffin, Saban, Urban. They don't care about anything but a a name for the next coach.

my one reasonable UiF friend wants him. but they also want the Athletic director fired too

Ah yes the big name. Ask lsu how the Brian Kelly family experiment is going

Why would an established coach go there?

You're building from the ground up (minus Lagway, who might transfer out). That job is only attractive to an up and coming coach who thinks he can turn it around, not someone who's already at Ole Miss / Penn St / USC (chuckle - as if) rolling.

I just don’t see how taking that Florida job would not be a step down lateral move at best

 

[TemplarCane]

Bill O'Brien to UF. He could reach his ceiling at BC in Year One and be one and done. O'Brien knows the $EC from his few seasons at Bama. He did well at PSU post-scandal. Worked in elite organizations in the NFL and CFB.

UF went the 'up and coming coach' route with Napier. Repeating the experiment won't excite anyone, including those paying buyouts and salaries.

Why is he more of a college coach?

"Honey, I know it's a terrible job right now, and we will have to live in god awful Gainesville for three years and pretend like we like it, but we will get 80 mil over the next 5 years after I'm fired! Hang in there babe!"

Thank goodness we stuck with ours fsu though sheesh. They still think Mario is trash? lol

They are in denial about Mario, who was destroying FSU and UF in recruiting after going 5-7. They are in denial, unable to process. Dumbfounded.
