Quote:You're not going to pry a HC from the SEC away from their respective team to join another team in the SEC generally. It's a lateral move, unless the candidate is at Vandy.. I think anyone who genuinely believed the Gators A. Would make a run at Freeze or B. that even if Florida DID pursue Freeze that there was even a remote chance he would accept the offer. Doesn't have anything to do with Florida not being a top coaching job, it is. It just doesn't make sense. Same with NFL coaches. Why would you leave the NFL and step down into the college ranks when you're doing well in the NFL? You wouldn't. McElwain is a very solid hire because he's the best candidate so far that actually would make sense for Florida to target.
