Kiffin not going to UF

Big game James would be great because he can’t win big games

Gruden would be in over his head with recruiting and NIL… college game is 365 days a year…plus his wife is a Tennessee alum and his son.. In all honesty the Titans should hire him

Actually, there's quite an undercurrent on private discords that it IS kiffin...

My Bull Gator partner was actually happy today. He said Saturday is Billy’s last day as Gator head coach. He said that they have replacement targets and he thinks the money will get them one. He also [laughably] said coaches want to come to UF because of Lagway. I asked if he was going to be happy with a guy left over after PSU, Ark, UCLA, VagTech, OSU, and Stanford made their hires. Yes, he gave me the middle finger.

Every time you refer to this dude as your Bull Gator partner it sounds *** as ****.

Without fail. Always makes me chuckle.

I don't know what they gain by firing him now. If FSU canned Norvell, at least they have Gus who can be interim HC. Who at UF could step in that isn't even worse than Billy?

If I'm the AD, Billy can keep getting his brains caved in until I've done all of my back channeling, planning, fundraising, etc in the background. I'm not firing him until I'm ready to make moves publicly out in the open.

I think I'd fire him the week before Thanksgiving, interim gets 1 game, exit interviews/clean house the Monday after FSU.

The only thing is - you don't want to get caught back channelling.

If I'm the agent for the prospective new coach I'm telling my client that they worked behind the previous coach's back to hire him.

If I had to wager now-I’s say they get Alex Golesh. None of the really elite guys will want to go to Dumpster-fire U. Jed has a sub .500 record and that will not move the money guys. So, they take the Russian who beat them and took an under-funded, under-talented team to the playoffs/near playoffs. The problem for us is that he can really coach.
 
With Cig staying at IU, I'd expect UF to be the best job on the market, unless LSU opens up. If LSU opens up I could see Brian Kelly going to PSU or some ****. Even though I still will keep saying Golden to PSU seems like a legit good possibility, especially after Rhule seems unlikely.

UF imo is a better job than Ole Miss, and if they got Lane, I'd imagine Lane would NOT leave unless he had absolute guarantees regarding NIL... So imo that would be a bit of a problem. Financially the best Decision UF could probably make would actually be to hire Franklin. He wouldn't require a buyout like I assume Lane would (or his staff). He may actually take a minimal amount of money and just backload it due to the offset language in his PSU buyout. And he's proven to be a winning coach and quality recruiter.

Theres a bunch of guys like Dillingham, but he does seem like he's all about ASU being from there. Jon Sumrall is probably the best candidate from G5, but I'd expect the Kentucky job to open, so he could be deciding between Alma mater and the better job. Should be an obvious choice, but going to Kentucky would be a safe job for like a decade for him... Jamey Chadwell or Golesh would likely jump at the UF job, but do they really want to go with a G5 guy again? I doubt it.

One interesting name would be Matt Campbell at Iowa St. Hes kinda been a midwest guy, but no doubt UF would be a major step up, and He's a very highly thought of coach. Like after Lane he is probably the biggest pull UF could make for a CURRENT P5 HC.
 
I know why we were obsessed with Gruden…but I don’t know why anyone today would want Gruden on their short list of coaches.

Great personality. Wildly overrated as coach and has zero college experience.

ask your gator buddy what makes him think if it’s Lane that he wouldn’t bring his own QB in that fits his system better than Lagway

Yeah feel pretty good that Lane gonna get himself a fat raise from Ole Miss… I don’t care if Lane goes there not worried about him … he’s failed at big program already what makes UF any different? I just want their fans to not get what they want lol

You’ll get no arguments from me there. That being said, he will still be an upgrade. It will be very interesting to see how Florida moves after this season. I would love for them to whiff on Lane. That would kill them.
