New coach options - all posts concerning new HC hankerings go here

Don Devoe would probably step in as an interim for the rest of the season

 

Hail no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He is losing to teams with 1/2 his talent.

The good thing about yaba dabo is he is just the head coach. He doesn't try to be the OC or DC.

 

Muschamp was a big name when we hired him. DC at Texas and favorite to land that head coaching job.
Macelwain I agree with you.

mullen had huge success as our OC winning championships and was very successful at Miss St as a head coach coaching Dak what are you talking about they were a garbage program before Mullen got there.

do you think this is a highly sought after job?

 

Based on your logic, we should just hire Will Muschamp.

 

Muschamp being dc means nothing. Muschamp failed at South Carolina as HC. He's a horrible coach that would have failed anywhere.

Mullen being oc means nothing. Meyer was the head coach. Also Dan Mullen was much more successful here at uf than he was at Mississippi State

Being a coordinator literally means nothing and has no relation to be a head coach.



Mullen at Florida : 34-15
Mullen at MSU : 69-46

Msuchamp at uf : 28-21
Msuchamp at sc: 28-30

Mcewlain at uf : 22-12
Mcewlain at CSU: 22-16
Mcewlain at CSU: 33-36

The facts actually contradict your theory. The coaches did better at uf than the other programs because it's easier to win here .

Yes. This is a highly sought after job. It's easy to win here if you aren't a sucky coach. Like I said none of the other coaches had success anywhere else and they were worse everywhere else except for Napier in the sunbelt.

 

Just be careful you don’t get hit by one of DJ’s errant passes up there.

 

and yet all of those coaches careers regressed after taking the Florida job. What is the incentive to take this job? Money. Look at the track record for what happens 4 years after being our HC

 

He absolutely should quit for a fraction of the buyout. I’ve lost respect for him as a coach, but still respect him as a good man. If he actually takes the buyout after this colossal failure, much of which is self-inflicted, I lose all respect for Billy Napier.

 

I'm good with Cignetti now

 

Again incorrect. None of those coaches ever had success anywhere else except for Napier in the sunbelt because he has more talent than everyone else and went up against bad staffs. All of those coaches are horrible except Mullen who did vastly better here than MSU

Muschamp mcewlain Napier are garbage coaches that would have failed at any power 5 program. You act like they were good coaches that fizzled out at uf. They never had success anywhere except for Dumbo Billy in the sunbelt.

Guess what ? Napier mcewlain muschamp would have failed at OSU , Oregon , Alabama ,LSU , Georgia , Miami , FSU etc

Our problem is that the admin is stupid and hired bad coaches.

It's so easy to win here that Mullens win percentage at MSU was .60 and at uf it was .69 and he won the sec east and he was a few points away from winning the sec title.

We have a loaded talent pool in Florida , a lot of money , and play in an elite conference. Let's hope this time our clown admin hires a winner instead of another goofy bargain bin hire from the cupcake conference.

 

I don’t think he would burn the bridge there by leaving on his own. I’ve read his buyout is something like 60 million if they fire him. So they’d have to have a mutual agreement for him to step down.

but Clemson is nuts to push Dabo out. He is their Saban

 

I just checked out this dude’s contract. He’s making $9mil per at Indiana. Jeez!

 

IMO, Dabo would be in "no man's land" territory. He would not be a home run hire (maybe Lincoln Riley 2.0 to some folks but not really) and definitely not a program builder of our desire in the new realities. Kiffin makes more sense and I plainly do not want him either. It will cost a fortune to get a coach who has not done anything yet.

 

What I’m saying is from a coach’s perspective, wouldn’t you want some job security? How many other power 5 programs have gone through as many coaches as we have over the past 20 years?

 

Since 2004 we’ve gone through 6 coaches and we fired 5 of them. Soon to be 6 firings and 7 coaches since that time and after being our coach all of their careers took a huge nosedive except Meyer

 

All of them also could retire with generational money after leaving UF. I think they would all do it again if given the chance.

 

I agree 100 percent that’s my whole point. It’s going to take a huge amount of money to get anyone decent with the track record we have with coaches. If you were looking for a new job with a company and asked them who you were replacing and they told you they fired the last guy and also the average lifespan of the job is 3 years and even if you do a good job we’ll still probably fire you, you wouldn’t want that job unless they gave you so much money. It’s not a desirable job at this point

 

That would be the going rate at any high profile coaching job. Not just UF. The going rate is $9mil per.

 

No one knows who is a good coach and who isn’t. Tennessee went through a grind worse than ours and then hired Heupel.
