Well who fans will want and who Strickland hot list may not be the same.
But
1. Kiffin
2.Campbell
3. Fisch obviously has ties
4. Golesh - literally just beat Napier
5. Barry Odom
6. Kenny Dillingham

You guys have a history of a bad hire, then an unbelievable hire....very streaky. Then the good hire breaks off a couple national championships, same thing in basketball.

You do know Florida is a much better program than Ole Miss
Spurrier days are long gone. Ole Miss has a significantly better football program and it's not even close. We have a better NIL, better AD, and our program has been in much better shape for years.

The issue is the UAA never does that. Then again sometime the up and comers can work out but it has been so unsuccessful of an approach in football since Meyer left (worked brilliantly in basketball however) that it would seem like common sense to try to land some big names, at least try which we generally don't, and see if something can work.

Y’all were saying the same thing last year, came to the swamp and we knocked yall out of playoff contention.
The biggest reason people don’t want Kiffin is because he lost to coach sling blade.

I will say there is more of a foundation for the next HC than Dan left for Billy

Florida may not be a blue blood, but id put them in the baby blue blood category behind LSU (who in my opinion should be considered blue blood if they win a few more in the next 10 or so years).

And Texas fans want an OC as well

He's the best coach in college football right now. Neal Brown would be a good choice as well. Don't count Brown's stint a WVU, nobody can win there.

Rich Rod did. Then fell on his face at Michigan. I’ve learned fit is just as important as coaching ability. Brown wouldn’t be able to stand the heat. We need an assassin. Someone who wants pressure. Not many of those guys around.

Y’all have a good coach. If we both had good coaches we would be ahead of you. Are you 12?

What’s funny is Napier had a better resume than Golesh does right now and it’s not even debatable. Going the group of 5 route again is insanely stupid. You never know with those guys.

How crazy would it be if urban said he'd like to come back? What do you think the general sentiment would be?

Not sure why he’s never been mentioned - Kerwin Bell
The Throwin Mayoin led Valdosta St to a natty and is currently at Western Carolina. Also did a great job at Jacksonville U with no scholarship players
A true Gator great that knows how to win games. Of course hasn’t been in the big leagues but I think he would be cheaper than most and would bring back a culture of winning.

Plus his health concerns would be a factor.
But after Napier a steaming pile of crap on the sidewalk would look better on our sideline and would get welcomed with open arms.
