It's actually worse than that.
This GR808 idiot is trying to backslide into a conclusion that "people really want the Florida job" by claiming that Florida got its top choice "4 out of 5 times".
Ah, yes, but let's analyze a bit.
One thing that he does is to act as if Muschimp, McShark****er, Mullet, and Slingblade Billy got "enough" time and patience...because "4 years" (at least with Chimpy and Mullet). Oh, and McShark****er "fired himself".
Meanwhile, he ignores all of the pressure put on these coaches BEFORE their precious "4 years" were up.
For instance...Muschimp...#5 recruiting class...#7 recruiting class...#9 recruiting class...but when Captain Insane-O followed his 11-2 second season with a 4-8 third season in which he lost the last 7 games (including losses to Georgia Southern and Vandy), the heat was on. Year 3. It took the major intervention of AD "Axel" Foley to avert a Year 3 firing of Chimpy.
McShark****er...sure, he "fired himself" in Year 3. But why? After two consecutive SEC championship game appearances, the Gator fans started screaming for the firing of McShark****er after a 3-4 record and the "death threats" comment. But the "death threats" comment was likely true (if unprovable), just like Florida fans are NOW threatening Slingblade Billy and Couch and Stricklin.
Mullet...again, in the VERY NEXT YEAR after getting The Gator into the SEC-CG, the pressure was on in Year 4. Just like with Chimpy and McShark****er, Mullet didn't win "quite enough" or "the right games" and was under massive pressure REGARDLESS of past success.
Yes, Chimpy got TWO YEARS after his best season of 11 wins. McShark****er got a HALF YEAR after two consecutive SEC-CG appearances. And Mullet got ONE YEAR after his best season. So, yeah, MAYBE there's a pattern here.
Alright, point #2. It's beyond obvious at this point that The Gator should be hiring a head coach from another Power Five program. And, sure, maybe they got a bit overconfident by hiring Urban Myth away from (soon-to-be-P5) Utah. But they followed this with...hiring a coordinator...hiring a G5 head coach...hiring an SEC head coach (the ONE guy that GR808 acknowledges was not UiF's first choice, as he was a "backup plan")...and hiring another G5 coach...so how can one POSSIBLY argue that the Florida job is sooooo desirable? I don't care if Chimpy and McShark****er and Slingblade Billy were "first choices", they were also guys that SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN HIRED BY FLORIDA, and for whom there wasn't a ton of other competition. So how does Florida know that they could have hired "anyone", when three of the last four guys have been sub-par candidates (and the one GOOD candidate was a "backup plan")? And for this, they want to blame their ADs?
Finally, let's look at the history of how Gator corches get tossed out of Hogtown...
---Zookie went down to Fraternity Row to fight a bunch of frat boys...
---Urban Myth faked a heart attack...
---Muschimp went Captain Insane-O a few too many times...
---McShark****er publicly disclosed fan death threats that he couldn't prove...
---Mullet might as well have posted his resume publicly on Indeed, and pretty much stopped recruiting altogether...
---Slingblade Billy...who knows...he's got a lot of interesting precedent to work from...
The Florida job is NOT a good one. NOT a Top Five job. NOT a Top Five job in the SEC. It is NOT a job that talented P5 head coaches are interested in (unless you are the "backup plan" of a coach who flunked his Miami interview TWICE).
Sorry. Those are facts.
