Would you care to elaborate since this was meant to be a discussion as to why or why not Kerwin Bell should be considered?

He has ZERO experience at the BCS level even as a position coach. He isn't even a legit conference at the FCS level (all walk ons), and he isn't even doing that great there. He isn't qualified to be our OC let alone HC. He isn't even competitive enough to try and compete at a higher level.
Winning at UF is a different beast than even coaching at a place like TCU let alone a small FCS school. There is intense media scrutiny, fan pressure, expectations to win fast, and recruiting 18 year divas with inflated egos. Again, what has he ever done to remotely prepare him for a job like UF?
The obsession with this guy is ridiculous. They think he is the second coming of Spurrier, but it's based on very little. I'd rather Chris Leak be our HC. Hell, there is a coach at one of the smaller Ohio schools (Ohio? Toledo?) that was in the FCS last year that was destroying it way more than Kerwin ever did. Why not get him?
People are right when they say this would be a gamble, but it would be a very very bad one. Very low chance of success.
