Someone suggested Mike Leach, and Mizzou fans have some knowledge of playing Leach teams. He would be an interesting coach in the SEC, but unless he learns to value a defense he would struggle to find sustained success. I think he's a better fit in the PAC, where he is. I liked Leach and think he got a raw deal at TTU. I just don't see him at Florida.

His pirate personna would be hilarious there though.

Patterson would be a good choice.

I know you aren't talking about me, but i have suggested tPirate multiple times. The Big 12 and PAC are different animals when it comes to defense and i think he would know that. I'm pretty sure he could hire a decent DC and his offense would wreck shop with Florida athletes.

Leach has always been at schools that don't give him the ability to hire the better assistants out there. With the money at UF he would not have that problem.
