Muschamp ... "resigns"

Florida hires Tubberville. Tubberville hires Cheezenip as D.C. Then hires Tator Tot as O.C. The barn would be paying three coaches to come and beat them every time they play.:smile:
 
Re: Muschamp Fired

If I was looking for a head coach, I'd call all the A-list coaches. And, like usual, they will probably all say no. Stoops may be a possibility here, and if he says yes, that's a home run hire.
But, if all the A-listers say no, my first call may very well be to McElwain. Colorado State was a 3-win/year program when he arrived. In year 2 he won 8 games and in year 3, he looks to finish 11-1. He has SEC experience. He's coached under some very good coaches. He's not a home run hire for a major program like Florida. But, he could very well be the best coach on the market - he has a pretty high ceiling but is not a huge risk, relatively.

Doc Holliday has Florida ties and could be an option, but honestly, I'm more impressed with McElwain's resume than Holliday's.

Well the best they have a shot of getting would be Mullen, Gundy, shaw, briles,and harbaugh. So if all 5 of them say no then you have to go to the B listers like mcelwain, petrino, and rich rod . Out of those mcelwain would be the hottest choice right now without baggage or failing at a big time program.
 
Re: Muschamp Fired

I suspect his name will be linked to all job opening, and If I was the coach, I would sit back and wait to see what else is opening up. Florida is a good job, but He's going to want the same control that he had at CSU.

Funny, his name is already popping up on the major sites regarding this hire.

Coach McElwain is going to be a great hire for a major school at some point.

Coach McElwain isn't a B list...He's going to be on top of every AD's lists for almost all job opening. I think Mullen or Ole Miss coach will take that job.

Re: Muschamp Fired

I can actually see Florida going after Stoops & Stoops seriously considering taking the job..Seems to me Stoops leaving The Sooners would be the best move for him & for the school as well..
 
I'm going to guess.. this is purely speculation at this point.

Miss state, Ole Miss, Florida, Mich St, Colorado State, Nebraska, OKL university and Duke will have a job openings in December. This will be interesting. This could be the year we'll see Smart, Muschamp, Chizek, and several NFL coaches getting hired.

So, we'll see at least five splash hires this upcoming off season.

WE WILL NOT SEE Kiffin leaving just yet. He's not ready just yet. He has to learn how to balance his playcalling, and learning office management stuff. He'll be hot commodity next year... with Saban's blessing.

Next year, there will be lot of more people on hot seat.

When I say b list I'm not talking about coaching ability I'm talking about the order programs will most likely go after. Mullen and Gundy are the most likely coaches they go after first because they will be banking on mullens ties to uf and the known conflict between Gundy and OSU fan base and board. I think they will go for plan b if the major targets say no, and that's the only way I see mcelwain gets the uf job. I think with a few years mcelwain will be in a better job than csu
 
I don't think Florida wants Butch Jones but I doubt he would leave now if they did want him. The Vols think they are on the cusp of turning it around and their savior is qb Josh Dobbs. UT fans are very high on the upcoming recruiting class combined with their young team and Butch Jones is the head cheerleader.

Just for the humor of it, I hope Muschamp takes the DC job at Nebraska so we can see him and Bo Pelini get in a shouting match.

On a more serious note, if CKS were to leave, I'd expect CNS to call Muschamp. And while Coach McElwain would be a good hire for Florida, I don't see it happening.

I'm always sorry to see a coach get fired in the middle of the season. It's not the right thing to do for the school, the team, or the coach. It was a total fluke the way Florida lost yesterday.

Of the 8 jobs you posted being open, 1 is already open...of the other 7, I just don't see it. Freeze leaving OM? Cutcliffe leaving Duke? Dantonio leaving MSU? Those perplex me. Perhaps Stoops leaves, and Pellini finally gets the boot...maybe Mullen even entertains getting out while the getting is good (doubt it for some reason), but I'm not sure what you're thinking.
 
The UF fan base is fractured. Gundy is a polarizing force, being both a loudmouth and a whiner. He may want out of Stillwater, and T. Boone may want him gone. But Gundy's personality may make that idea difficult to sell to a school that needs a uniter.

I don't know who they might go after. But Jeremy Foley is nobody's fool. In his shoes, I'd see Mullen, Freeze, and Bob Stoops as the primary targets. David Shaw and Kirby Smart as second choices, and a Gordian knot if all that fails.

I'm also sure he's been trolling back channels for some time now, and already has several names he thinks will take the job if offered -- some of whom we're familiar with, and some not.

If I had to guess, I'd say was at least 75% sure of who the next coach will be when he notified Muschamp that he wouldn't be retained.
