I meant in regard to team and/or product on the field. The advantage UF has though is being in the east which continues to be a shamble. I doubt Spurrier has many years left and eventually 10 win seasons will not be enough for the puppies and their fans.

I disagree with this. Florida is the second best program in the nation imo. I think when UF calls, coaches will listen. Of course they couldn't pull Saban from Bama, Strong from Texas, or Sark from USC, but I think anyone else Florida would have a shot at getting. LSU may have a better team than Florida right now, but Florida is the better program. And it is not even close
From Sumlin's perspective, what makes Florida, right now, a better situation than A&M? Sumlin has a good team, stocked w/ practically three years' worth of his recruiting classes (I'm counting some of 2012 and 2015 is almost full). All his recruiting contacts, formed during a decade plus of coaching in the region between OU/Houston/A&M. With the Kyle renovations, A&M's facilities are as good as any in the country.
Sumlin also has a new contract that includes a $5M buyout for the next two years. He got that new contract after turning down Southern Cal last year. Honestly, I think you'd have a better chance at landing Charlie Strong if you pursued him. His history and ties are to the state of Florida, and UTx is just a shambles right now, and is in danger of being even worse next year. Unless Strong has some beef against UF, the Gators are a step up from UTx.

Hire Spurrier back.
At least we will beat UG every year.

I agree. the only way Sumlin would leave for Florida is $$$. So if A&M will match the $ I do not see him leaving!

And yet, Bill Curry looked like Vince Lombardi compared to Mike Dubose

Agreed. Jobs like Florida shouldn't be held by anyone who needs on the job training.

Well, to be fair to Muschamp, he wasn't just a DC. He was also "head-coach-in-waiting" at UTx.

This might be your guy right here. He's a capable coach who was able to recruit well at Vanderbilt. Imagine how he'd recruit in Gainesville.

I honestly think that
1. We miss Quinn- that D was HORRIBLE. shite show if I've ever seen one. Completely unacceptable to give TD's in a platter two freaking games in a row. Kiffin isn't a genius, but he isn't that dumb. Those opportunities were handed in a platter.
2. Dris has to be benched- Give Treon a chance. I'm thinking he should be given the 3rd series regardless to see what he can do.
3. If Muschamp continues to be an arse, and sinks with the Dris ship, I think Franklin will be our next HC. Unless a loss to TN causes an immediate firing (long shot but I can hope), and Roper does a great job as an interim HC.

Agreed. Sadly, I think we will be forced to go that route again. I don't see any qualified candidates that will actually be available.

I think your next coach should be Mike Shula. That Shula name, great offensive mind, wonderful family man... He'd be a great fit.
