now that's dedication. you typcially see coaches mimic plays when they trying to explain/teach specific techniques, but this is some next level shite.

Alright, I'm all in for Frost. That's exactly the type of HC I want at Florida.

I'm all behind Frost, even before Mullen. He's young, energetic, one of the guys (literally is playing) and has an offense I want at Florida.

I'm watching UCF games now -- will say this: If Frost comes to Florida, he could definitely bring us to a Championship.

His offense is clean, quick and the playcalling is amazing.

sounds like he's ours if we pull the trigger.

when i look at all the candidates that people bring up, it seems like there are several people out there that can get us back to playing perennial top 5/10 football and winning national championships.

my favorite seems to change evey few days, but would still take kelly first.

i also like mullen, frost and campbell. like some others too, but i've narrowed it down to those 4. kelly is the only 50+ candidate i want. frost and campbell are the only guys with minimal experience that i want. mullen is in the odd position of having youth and experience as far as head coaches go.

pretty good top 3. how some of these people want names like taggart, strong and norvell over mullen tells me that they're easy to persuade with coach speak and motivational bullshite. could literally sell some of these people snake-oil as a cure for cancer. zero football knowledge.

There are some retarded names being put out there before we start.

Kiffin - I have no idea why he's suddenly trustworthy, he's not. As I posted in another thread: Every school he's left, he's done it with controversy. We don't need another frickwit at HC making more problems off the field.

Taggart - Completely unproven, only been at lower-tier schools outside of Oregon where he's got a losing record and has been blown out several times this year. Why take an unproven coach who isn't Frost? It makes no sense.

Norvell - Got blown out by UCF and Frost this year. No fricking sense, they're on equal ground and he got outcoached and his team got crushed.

Mike Bobo - Just saw this on sbnation and literally rolled my eyes so far into the back of my head that I almost went into a seizure.

Les Miles - fricking stop.

I understand that the position is open, but:

Mullen has the experience and we have the money to get him.

If we don't want experience and we're taking a risk, Frost has the offense and is in-state and can clearly recruit well enough to dominate the teams at his level -- we can pay him better and he will be happier at Florida than Nebraska.

Kelly if we want a unicorn who will probably not come to Florida.

However, those two first choices are clearly what we're looking at.

yup.

kelly
mullen
frost/campbell

campbells done an awesome job everywhere he's been with more experience than frost. campbell is actually a poor man's mullen. in his 7th year as a hc while still young. frost spent time in the nfl is why he doesn't have more years as a head coach.

i kinda wanna put campbell over frost, but i'd be good with either.

i don't think stricklin will hire mullen and i don't think mullen wants to come here.

i have no idea if kelly wants to coach in college, i want him but not sure we get him.

i think it's really down to frost and campbell.

I think the big problem is that Mullen is going to need quite a bit of money to make the move, and he's been there forever. I have to think that we'd be better off taking Frost/Campbell.

I actually agree with you, because I can't see any reason to take the other coaches over them. I wouldn't count Strong out so quickly, either.

But these Taggart/Norvill rumors.

You don't like Kiffin but you liked Mac... Good grief.

Kiffin is the best guy on the list. Your hate has blinded you, just like OSU fans hated Meyer.

kiffin would kill it at UF, but there's no way strick hires him.

Kiffin accused us of recruiting violations.

He's got a great offensive mind, but the dude can't stay out of the frickin' news, man.

I fricking hated McElwain's conduct off the field, and we need someone with better conduct -- Kiffin ain't that guy. He has literally had problems everywhere he's been, and has been playing musical chairs with colleges.

Campbell/Frost, Strong/Mullen, Kelly. Kiffin would be what I go to if every single one of those guys said no for whatever reason (they won't).

Kiffin was stirring the pot. He had to do something to one up on recruiting, which he did. Kiffin is no dummie. Everything he does has a purpose. When has anyone ever gotten fired from a coaching job and it wasn't unpleasant? Kiffin told UT upfront that he would leave if one school came calling. USC came calling and he left. He was upfront with them. Oakland, Al Davis was a bigger dick than Kiffin. He wanted all the control and Kiffin wouldn't budge. USC tricked Kiffin by telling him that the NCAA sanctions wouldn't be much if any at all. He left UT on that premise, then they threw him under the bus in the end. All 3 programs got better under Kiffin. What more do you want? Texas didn't like Strong either. He left in a cloud. Does that mean we shouldn't hire him too?

Cambell and Frost are both the flavor of the month just like McElwain was. Could they catch lightning in a bottle? Maybe, but UF is not the place to learn on the job. I think if we hire another hotshot coach who hasn't had big boy experience that we are going to have another 3/4 years of mediocrity. We need proven head coaches that have coached at this level... Period.

4Lyfe, bro.

He made a recruiting violation while complaining about recruiting violations. Then he immediately dipped.

No Nuss, no McElwain. I like our chances with a young and upcoming coach who calls his own plays and is very involved.

McElwain wanted the team to run on its own, rarely talked to anyone, rarely involved himself. I'll tell you right now: If he had half the energy that Campbell/Frost had, we might not have the same problems.

If he'd just change, maybe even a little bit, maybe he would have done well.

I like those two coaches, way, way more than Kiffin. Kiffin is only in front of Norvill/Taggart for me. Like I said: For me, he's only there if everyone else says no. I'd never consider taking him before guys with cleaner records and explosive offenses.

i'd put kiffin in the same category as mullen and kelly, i ust don't see UF hiring him.

as far as campbell goes, he's young but not inexperienced.

he's in his 7th year as a head coach. did great at toledo and now it looks like he's made a winner out of iowa frickin state. like, wtf. he's beaten two top 5 teams this year. looks like tom herman with a longer proven track record and p5 experience. only 37 years old. that's insane.

the more i think about campbell, the more i like him.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to include Campbell in the list of inexperienced. I think he'd be a great choice. My only concern would be his lack of ties to Florida recruiting.

I think Kiffin was totally joking when he said it but people went overboard and ran with hit. Do you really think if he thought it was a serious violation that he would mention it to a booster club luncheon or send it to the NCAA? He was really trying to say that a recruit we were trying to get, committed to him, in an effort to look like players are coming to UT. Sorry but most coaches have egos and try to puff up who they have coming too.

If you had to pick one coach that could prepare this team in a bowl game versus Bama, what coach would have the most success? I don't think there's another coach in America that could take this team and challenge Bama like Kiffin could.
