Fisch wants that job bad. He's the guy to watch. I'd put my money on him over Lane.

I'd be shocked if Golden was a serious candidate. I just can't see him wanting any part of coaching in the SEC. At the way things are going for Freeman, Golden might be better off sticking around and trying to worm his way into the Notre Dame job.

The UF fan base would never go for it, but Chadwell would be an interesting hire. He'd fit right in in Gainesville. If I didn't know better, I'd swear the man drives an IROC camaro.

When Florida football fires Billy Napier, here are 7 candidates to consider | Toppmeyer​

7 candidates on my mind for Florida Gators​

1. Lane Kiffin (Ole Miss): Kiffin would be the closest thing to the second coming of Steve Spurrier. He's a wonder for Ole Miss. His high-scoring offenses and "Portal King" ways would be a 180-degree pivot from Napier. Trouble is, he's been too good. The Rebels probably are bound for the playoff. Also, Kiffin is well-compensated by Ole Miss, and he's got a well-oiled NIL machine. Good luck stealing him away.

2. Eliah Drinkwitz (Missouri): Drinkwitz's career is red-hot. He's won 14 of his past 16 games, and he's skillfully navigated the NIL landscape to make the Tigers a player. He built Missouri into a playoff contender. His trash-talking personality would provide a livelier ride than the Napier experience. Best-case scenario for Florida if it desires Drink: Missouri goes 10-2 but gets snubbed by the playoff committee.

3. Jedd Fisch (Washington): He's a Florida alumnus who, many moons ago, worked as a graduate assistant for Steve Spurrier. He knows offense and transformed Arizona's program before flying the coop for Washington. He left a Heisman-caliber quarterback at Arizona for the Huskies, so why not leave UW for his alma mater?

4. Alex Golesh (South Florida): Golesh, 40, is the youngest coach listed here. He's never been a Power Four coach. That doesn't mean he'd be Napier 2.0. He'd come with the Josh Heupel playbook that's made Tennessee a success. Golesh runs the warp-speed spread offense the Vols use. He was Heupel's coordinator at UCF and Tennessee.

5. Lance Leipold (Kansas): The Jayhawks won't make the playoff, so Leipold would be available. He's a respected program builder who won at places where success doesn't come easily (Buffalo, Kansas). Trouble is, Kansas (1-2) might be headed for a losing season. That would strip Leipold of some cachet.

6. Andy Kotelnicki (Penn State offensive coordinator): He's one of the nation's highest-regarded offensive coordinators. A longtime Leipold aide, he steered KU's offense to great success the past two seasons. Early returns at Penn State look promising. Some program will take a chance on Kotelnicki as a head coach. But would Florida risk a guy with no head coaching experience after Napier's flop?

7. Jamey Chadwell (Liberty): Chadwell, a career winner, took what Hugh Freeze left at Liberty and made it better. Like others on this list, he's sharp-witted on offense. The risk: He's never worked any position on a Power Four staff.

Anyone past the top 2 or 3 and their fans will go from whiny little ****ants to ISIS. So raise the terror threat to red now.

Seeing Grayson McCall post-Chadwell and seeing what he’s doing at Liberty and already done at Coastal Carolina…

You’d have a hard time convincing me Chadwell wouldn’t be the best option behind Kiffin.

Rivals and media would hype it like another Napier situation but there’s no comparison. Chadwell’s system is elite

I’m beginning to think there’s never been an emergency board of trustees meeting that doesn't involve Bobby Petrino.
