Gotta be some rumors down there that are more reliable than others. Who will be the next coach? Need the inside scoop. Get busy.

Not Bob Stoops IMO. Doc perhaps but he'd be down the list.

Who in their right mind wants Bob Stoops right now?

Where are you people hearing shite? Internet forums?

You really think Florida is "above" calling Bob Stoops?

Read from a couple of different national sites that Doc was being looked at hard. Just thought maybe some Gators out there had more solid info rather than who people are speculating right now.

Link to where I said that? Lots of coaches/agents will get calls. You find out who has interest and go from there. It's pretty standard procedure.

I said he won't be the next coach at UF IMO.

He's had the chance twice before.

Is my opinion out of line?

You said "who in their right mind would want Bob Stoops right now?".

A lot of programs I'd assume. I don't see where Florida doesn't make him say no.

Everyone, and I mean everyone not named Foley is speculating right now from internet dweebs to the largest Gator Boosters. It's too freaking early for all this. No one knows the actual list Foley is going to pursue save for him. It would be suicide for any leaks to get out right now because Coach X would have to deny it outright and then set himself up to retract later. Think about it.

He's already said no twice before and he said no recently publicly. I do not want Bob Stoops. I did before but that ship has sailed.

I meant teams of a certain level of expectation. Sure, Rutgers would want him.

Thought wanted an offensive guy. Big Game Bob is a defensive type.

Can agree with that but if Foley wants a coach by Christmas I would have figured there were some solid leaks coming out from the inner workings of the Athletic Dept.

For the record, I don't really know who would be the "right" coach. Just hope Foley gets his guy. The SEC needs the Gators to be good again.

I've said Doc Holliday all along, but I've heard from some people in the know that Phil Fulmer's name is rising to the top of the list.

Florida has a blank check and a lot to offer. I'm worried they will knock this out of the park, although they did hire Zook and Boom.

Who knows...

Surely not Fulmer. The Gators need a dynamic hire... and Fulmer's time as a HC is gone. Nothing against him as I thought he did great at UT... but Florida can do better IMO.

Foley didn't say an offensive guy. He said a coach with a proven history of good offense. Stoops does meet that qualification.
