Is McElwain really the best Florida can do?

I think they could do better.

I dont want a Saban assistant...

It was a fast hire so foley must feel good about it.

Not official yet, but Foley certainly flew out to Colorado today. Rumor is trading the buy out with a home-and-home with Colorado State....... which would suck. We're Florida, we don't do home-and-homes outside of the state of Florida.

He's a good coach, and he at least has proven (albeit at a smaller level) that he can quickly turn around a program AS A HEAD COACH. I do think Florida is the kind of place where you should be able to hire someone who has proven themselves at the highest level, though.

That's exactly what they've been saying on the Colarado State Boards about UF (and yes, that's a thing )

Another Florida school hired a former Saban assistant and he's doing just fine.

Assuming they can't get Chip Kelly or Jim Harbaugh, I think it's a solid hire.

yes ...

bama and osu got lucky with their home run hires ... there are no home run hires out there ... chip kelly is not leaving the nfl ... brian kelly might ... might ... leave the dame ... that's it ...

ya'll have to gamble and hire someone who's up&coming ... we've all been there ...

When Florida is swimming in titles in about 3-5 years I'll bump this topic.

So if Saban was killed tomorrow in a tragic dwarf tossing mishap, you'd want Bama to hire McElwain?


Honestly even if that is the case, Florida and Bama have dramatically different approaches to sustained success (actually its an interesting contrast given that they're the most successful programs in the modern era of the SEC).
