Why can’t Florida hire a proven winner as a HC?

It's not that they can't, they just never try to for whatever reason. They've almost always gone for the up and coming coach hoping they strike gold, which they've done a pretty good job of multiple times with Spurrier and Meyer. Mullen was probably the first coach they ever hired with any sort of track record. "Proven winners" don't always work out either. It's very hard to predict if someone can translate success from one school to another. Very few coaches have achieved elite results at multiple destinations.
