Although I don't think it'll happen, I would love for Mike Leach to come to Gainesville. Phenomenal head football coach.

Forgot all about him. The dude is straight forward and hilarious. Pretty quirky, but he's an excellent football mind and coach.

On the other hand, if he did fabricate the death threats like some have reported, then that makes me suspicious of everything he does, and he already has a borderline shady demeanor. So if he made that stuff up, he should be fired immediately.

Les miles can recruit but his offense was abysmal and that's really more of the same for the Gators.

Bob stoops? I'll agree with whoever said just no.

Chip Kelly? Heard rumors he might land at UCLA and that's probably a better fit for him and the Gators.

Now Lane kiffin, I think is a phenomenal coach. He can recruit, he can develop talent, but as a coach he's had his own maturity/personality issues. Has he grown past them? If so he would be a strong hire.

I really like Scott Frost, but would he really make the jump to Florida if he wouldn't even make the jump to his Alma mater? Gainesville is very close so he wouldn't have to really uproot his whole life to relocate, but it sounds like he's happy at UCF and I don't blame him. He's done excellent work and that program will only continue to get better.

I'm with you here. Mac won the SEC east two years in a row, he deserves a little credit. But then many credit his previous two years with Muschamps leftover defense... He's an offensive guy and his offenses have been down right offensive.
I've always hate how it seemed like he was gonna cry after every win. Acting like every game was the big game kinda irked me... But I've been a staunch supporter and the options thrown out to replace him don't quite tickle my fancy...
But if he made up death threats... man... ain't no way around that. Why would anyone do that is beyond me.
I hope he's cleared of any wrong doing there...... not to save his job... but his reputation as a decent human lol

As for the list of replacement candidates?
Les Miles? Chip Kelly? LANE KIFFIN? It's like big recent coach names are all people know anymore...

Scott Frost? Now we're getting somewhere.... If we replace Mac, I hope it's a young up and coming coach... Not some cast off on his 3rd or 4th stop.
Mike Norvell and Tony Elliott are a couple names to look into, imo.

Frost would be at the top of my list.
Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."

Yea, he is definitely quirky. Wired different. Extremely intelligent. He has his law doctorate and a Master's in Sports Science from the US Sports Academy. Great offensive mind. Love following his career (and all his quotes!)

I'm sure hoping he stays.  He's in the best recruiting ground he can be in and has gotten some pretty good commitments as of late.  If he goes to Florida he could turn them around in a year or two, just needs to get the athletes.

That's good.  I didn't realize Frost and Dungy were friends.

I actually googled Mike Riley and just realized Nebraska gave him a 1-year extension through 2020 back in Sept 2017.  Lol .... so perhaps they are committed to him after all.  he's currently making $2.9m whereas Frost is making $2.0m

I do think Nebraska is done with Riley.  I think they are working on getting a pay off done.  It's funny to see Nebraska fans trolling UCF fans on Facebook and other pages.  If Frost were to say I may go start trolling Nebraska pages.
