Tears Gator Tears

Wisconsin is in the same spot as FSU, they have to fire Fickell and they do not want to pay him $25 million. You have to fire the man. Go read their AD post today. He is worse than Alford.

@flagator86 who do you want as your coach?

Kiffin or bust at this point imo. I’m 50/50 on if he’ll come tbh.

Keep most of these 10 players (in no order) and we could be good next year:

Lagonzo Hayward
VB3
Dallas Wilson
Jayden Woods
Jerimiah McCloud
Jayden Woods
J’avari Flowers
Ben Hanks
Joseph Mbatchou
Tremelle Jones

I didn’t include upperclassmen because someone like Baugh, he leaving after 2026 anyways to the NFL (if he stays healthy) anyways and Myles Graham a Gator through and through

Who would be the next handful on your list if Kiffin says no?

Fisch?
Summrall?
Drinkwitz?
Brohm?

What's funny about this is that this is probably one of the offseasons you don't want to have to hire a new head coach. Achievable candidates are guys like Franklin or Campbell at Iowa State but everyone's going to go after those guys. They're going to want to get Kiffin or Freeman but I don't see either leaving their respective places. UF/Penn State/Fsu (likely)/UCLA all competing for the same small pool. I also have a feeling other jobs may open up soon (maybe USCw)

If USCw opens up and I’m the coach at BYU, that’s where I’m looking.

The amount of jobs that are going to open this year is going to be pretty staggering. Currently you have PSU, Arky, UF, UCLA, Ok State, VT, Stanford, Oregon State, Colorado State, UAB.

Potential openings are going to be USCw, LSU, Auburn, amongst a few others im sure.

Heard Freeman already said no, but I mean why not try? But (sorry to go this route) a black man being the permanent HC at UF…..ehhhhh yall KNOW there will be some folks who won’t be able to accept it

I dont think Brohm is budging no matter what, Idk if Eli is the right “fit” but he proved by getting an OC last year that he’s willing to make a change. I need more out of Fisch and i’m toooo scarred to take a risk on Summerall.

Franklin???? More of a FSU guy than a UF guy. That’s why I think it’s Kiffin or bust. I just don’t know if UF can afford to be hamstrung by yet ANOTHER big contract that if it fails, on the hook yet AGAIN.

UF has no leverage in negotiations imo

I could see Golesh. I wouldn't put money on it though 😂. Just a gut feeling.

I'm curious why some don't think Golesh would likely/for sure be an unsuccessful hire for UF/FSU (not saying they're wrong or that Kiffin/Franklin wouldn't be better choices if available).

Is it his G5 stature on being on the heels of the Norvell/Napier disasters?

Will say this about Golesh: USF did a great job evaluating and procuring talent for 2025 and his team plays tough, physical football all game long. Those two traits will carry over to any level of football

Of all candidates, Brohm would be the best fit, IMO. If I were UF, I would forget all this Kiffin stuff and go all in there. Kiffin has NFL aspirations, he may not even make it to campus with the NFL jobs opening up.
