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.
That's not what we need, though. We don't need a coach who can coach us up to play Alabama in a month or so.
We need a coach with stability -- that's not fricking Kiffin.
We need a guy who *really* wants to be at Florida, who is up to the task at hand. Who can recruit, who can scheme and who has a good system.
We do not fricking need a guy who literally cannot stay out of the news -- we just had that kind of guy who can't control his dumb mouth.
I want a coach who will be here a long time, build a dynasty and utilize in-state recruiting.
Frost is already recruiting at a decent level in Florida, and with more resources he could recruit even better. He runs an offense that we like and with a good defensive coordinator he could get us where we need to be right away.
But frick that noise with Kiffin, he has two stints in the SEC and both of them lasted one year and he fricked over both programs he was at.
Kiffin ain't the long-term answer, and that's what we should be aiming for this time around.

Here’s the difference, though. What McElwain did at Colorado State was impressive; what Frost is doing at UCF is eye-opening and incredible. The Knights went 0-12 in 2015, ranking 125th out of 127 FBS teams in scoring at 13.9 points per game. They could not have been much further from success at that point. Frost arrived, got UCF to 6 wins last season and now has the Knights absolutely rolling at 7-0 with the highest-scoring offense in the country at 51.0 points per game and 529.7 yards per game (fifth best nationally). That sudden and extreme of a turnaround is unthinkable. That kind of thing is simply too overwhelming to be a fluke.

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 don't think money is an issue getting Mullen, if we wanted him he'd probably come, but I'm not sure Stricklin wants Mullen. He called Mullen "direct" a few times in the PC, and he's got that reputation of someone that can be hard to work with. I think people would come around, but it's not a hire that would be met with resounding joy among Gator fans and boosters.
My money is still on Frost. He would be an incredibly popular hire and create a lot of momentum. It would be very similar to the Meyer hire in that regard.

It’s odd that some guys like Mullen but don’t want Kiffin while others want Kiffin but don’t want Mullen. I don’t want Mullen but I would still believe that we turn things around just not as confident in winning big with him. His offenses have almost always had to have a big mobile QB . The only things I think Mullen would be have over Kiffin is being more loyal and less likely to get us on probation. Kiffin can run an offense with a pro style or dual threat QB.
Mullen is still at State for a reason. His personality is to much like Macs for me and his offense seems to need a tall strong running QB. He seems like a spread style version of Mac. Rumors were he didn’t like the pressure at UF either.

I'm all aboard the Frost train now, man. Mullen would be a good hire in my opinion, especially because he knows how to recruit SEC.
Kiffin I just don't trust at all. I have no faith in him, and I don't think he'll be here if he gets any kind of offer from anywhere.
He just bleeds drama, and I've had enough of that.

Someone mentioned that Frost calls his own plays. If that’s true, what’s the point of the OC?

Who has Frost/UCF beaten? Have you checked their conference? Are you really hanging your hat on him competing in the AAC? He's another flavor of the month. I'd take him over Mac but why take the chance on another unproven coach that has ZERO experience at this level.
You guys keep talking about not trusting Kiffin? What did he do that you have a problem with? Straws - you mentioned that he screwed 2 college teams. Which teams are you talking about? UT? You do know that he had a clause that he would leave if USC came calling. How is that screwing them. What other team are you talking about??? Oakland and USC both screwed him over, not the other way around. You've got this guy all wrong. The same way some here can't stand Urban Meyer even after he brought us 2 titles. You got to let those grudges go. It's not productive. Give me details not just your feelings.

What other team would Kiffin leave for? Are you serious? Do you really think he would leave UF for Arkansas, Memphis or a Moo State? It doesn't get any bigger than UF. If he's winning, why would he leave? That's nonsense. If he's a bust, he needs to get his arse out of here just like Mac anyway.

This is who UCF has played/about to play.
Maryand
Maine
Memphis
Cincinnati
East Carolina
Navy
Austin Peay
SMU
Connecticut
Temple
USF
A real fricking murderers row. Do you know how AWFUL these teams are? Not one in the top 40. What is Frost's best win? FIU? Did you see his teams record last year? Did you see them lose the last 3 games of the year? Don't you want a guy that can improve a team as the season progresses???

Same question for Norvell at Memphis. Who the hell has he beat? What is his beat win? I'm still trying to find one? A horrible UCLA team?
Posted on 10/30/17 at 11:52 pm to GatorNation4Lyfe
USF is in the top 20. They were ranked until this past week I believe. They’re 7-1. Winner between the USF/UCF game wins the division and probably the conference.

Sorry, I don't see them in any poll??? I do see them receiving votes in the AP.
Who has USF beaten? I'm trying to find their best win as well? This conference is just like the old Big East. They backload games with their best teams so that all their teams look better than they really are. These teams are playing other teams that are God awful. I'm talking the worst teams in FBS. I just don't get all they hype of these teams beating up on each other? If UF played USF or UCF's schedule, Mac would still be here.

I meant to say top 30 but the have been ranked until recently. They’re currently “receiving votes”.

Two years ago UCF was 0 - 12.
0
and
12.
To take them to a potential undefeated season in two seasons is astounding -- and his offense is number 1 in the country for scoring. This with a team that was previously 0 - 12. Think it over.
You want fricking Kiffin, clown shoes.
The lord of serpents.

What does 0-12 have to do with anything??? They were a bad team that year, so what. Do you even know the history of UCF football? They've always had good teams. 2015 was an anomaly. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong for that team. You need to do some research... LINK
UCF had a really bad year marred by all kind of tragedies.
Frost isn't some miracle worker that you're making him out to be. He had a BAD first year (bad for UCF), barely was bowl eligible and got blown out in that game. He ended that season on a 3 game losing streak. His schedule this year is dog shite. He so far hasn't beaten ANYONE. Not one quality win and you want to crown his arse? He'd be very lucky to match O'leary's wins in his last few years (2015 notwithstanding). O'Leary had a 9, 10, 11 and 12 win seasons his last few years. Excuse me if I'm not excited about what Frost has done in the last few months. Something tells me he'll lose the first game he plays a team with a pulse. Sound familiar???
FAU was bad for many years before Kiffin got there. 3-9 for 3 straight years and in Kiffin's first year they are undefeated in C-USA. They went from the worst offense in the league to the best in a few months. This, in his first year. You are out of your mind if you think Frost is as qualified as Kiffin, or knows offense as well as Kiffin, or knows how to recruit big boy CFB like Kiffin, or knows how to get players to the NFL like Kiffin. Frost's resume can't even touch Kiffin's. I get it, you don't like the guy but you are deluded if you think Frost is in the same area code as Kiffin. Frost can't hold Kiffin's jock strap.

You want an up and comer just for the hell of it? We'd be better off with Neal Brown at Troy. He's been a head coach longer than Frost and has actually beaten good teams, including LSU, who we couldn't beat. He won 10 games in 2016 and will probably win 11 games this year and he's coached in the SEC. You Frost disciples are as deluded as McElwain apologists. Oh, I forgot, you were one of them too.
Not trying to put you down but you insult my intelligence when you bash Kiffin and you have zero proof for your hate. Then you peddle a guy that hasn't played 1 quality team as a HC.

That same team had gone 0 - 12, and now is looking at a potentially undefeated season.
So in two years he took a team from 0 - 12 to 11 - 1, 12 - 0.
''Hey man, it's a weak conference'', and that's when FAU gets blown the frick out by Navy, who UCF beat handily.
I want Frost's style of offense, and I like the way he handles his team -- he puts on a helmet and plays with his players, man. Who couldn't love a young, energetic leader type coach?
You want fricking Kiffin, man. Name a school where he's left without controversy. Name one.
He got fired with cause at Oakland, and the owner called him a ''flat-out liar''.
At Tennessee, he had to write a formal apology to the University of Florida, Jeremy Foley and Urban Meyer for wrongly accusing us of a recruiting violation.
At USC he lied about voting his team #1, weird how lies keep coming -- took that #1 team to a 7 - 6 record overall. Frost is incapable for having a bad season at UCF, but Kiffin is the right choice for being run out of USC?
He was such a piece of shite with Nick Saban that Saban didn't even want him on the team for the NCG. Literally booted him from the team. He fricked over Alabama by trying to do both jobs at the same time for a National Championship team.
So basically, what you're telling me is:
1. Kiffin's victories from a shitty FAU team are better than those from UCF -- when to me they're similar, only UCF actually beat Navy handily while Navy drubbed FAU.
2. We're going to hire a coach fired from his last two employers of USC and Alabama?
3. We're going to hire a coach who literally can't help but lie -- has been caught lying at every team he has been an HC at...after we fired a coach with cause for lying?
No. Way.
No. How.
frick. Kiffin.

Tell us how you really feel Straws
Kiffin kinda reminds me of a Spurrier, brash and bold..but I do have reservations also with some of the off the field incidents..not exactly a deal breaker...but would have to really do your research and see whats under the hood.
I do know this: whoever we hire gets the keys to the nuclear battleship and damn sure should be sea tested and battle ready. UF is a presser cooker and fans are impatient. Anymore dead fish offense and there could be protesters at the Stricklin residence enmass.
