Franklin would be a real good hire for UF. But Franklin will still be in the same spot behind UGA and Bama. For UF you take a PSU season and see if you can break through. But for Franklin it’s basically a lateral move, but money talks.

But ****em this is about tears I hope UF hires Randy Shannon

Why would an established coach go there?

You're building from the ground up (minus Lagway, who might transfer out). That job is only attractive to an up and coming coach who thinks he can turn it around, not someone who's already at Ole Miss / Penn St / USC (chuckle - as if) rolling.

Bill O'Brien to UF. He could reach his ceiling at BC in Year One and be one and done. O'Brien knows the $EC from his few seasons at Bama. He did well at PSU post-scandal. Worked in elite organizations in the NFL and CFB.

UF went the 'up and coming coach' route with Napier. Repeating the experiment won't excite anyone, including those paying buyouts and salaries.

They are in denial about Mario, who was destroying FSU and UF in recruiting after going 5-7. They are in denial, unable to process. Dumbfounded.

most fans dont know a good cfb coach if it smacked them in the face. Think what makes fans think someone is a great cfb coach is instant wins really quickly out the gate but thats not how that works.

I'm not a fan at all, but this is his TWENTIETH season in coaching, and he's never held a college position. He's not starting now. There is no shot that he's a recruiter. Someone would have to give him an OC gig and allow ZERO recruiting. No chance he's prepared for the CFB grind.

It's not happening. That's not the college game.

In some ways, this is a sensible hire. A few 8-4 seasons to right a wobbly ship.

But it ain't happening. They're not hiring a dude from Massachusetts (and who is absolutely not a recruiter) as HC. Just never gonna happen.

O’Brien has a son with a rare brain disorder. I don’t see him leaving his Northeast home.

The Hoosiers haven't been 5-0 since 1967 which was also the last time they won the Rose Bowl.

If he wins @Northwestern this weekend to go to 6-0 and the Hoosiers will have made their 14th bowl in their 138 year program history.

Extension? He beats Michigan and they're going to start working on his statue.

UF is fooked, no established guy is going to take that ****-fest on and an unproven guy from a smaller program would cause the pitchforks to come out.
They're going to have to try to catch a whale, like Gruden or Vrabel or another NFL guy.
 
IMO, if you’re going to hire an “up and comer” you hire him based on his coaching acumen. They made the mistake of hiring a G5 guy who was supposed to be a recruiter. His recruiting has been better than his on field performance but who cares if your teams sucks every year. Nobody wants to play for a loser. Urban Meyer wasn’t a recruiter at Utah or Bowling Green but he got kids to come play for him because he’s a winner and he had a proven offensive system. That’s the kind of guy they’re going to have to get. .
