Florida hires Louisiana's Billy Napier as new Head Football Coach

[colbysullivan]

Maybe they hit the ceiling? I'm not sure who they can get right now.

Outside of two coaches, UF has been a nothing program historically.

 

[GrayTide]

maybe look at someone in the same state? to the South?

Augustus Malzahn?

 

[BamaMoon]

I really wish UF and BN could get it together but it's not looking good.

However, he'll be OK. Heard on the College Final that if they fire him he's due 16 million.

Augustus Malzahn?

He may be at Arkansas

2 words…Bobby Petrino.

Ray Graves was a pretty darn coach.

Plus Florida in the 80’s was torpedoed because Dooley basically pulled a Phil Fulmer and turned them in because he knew he couldn’t compete with their resources. Florida in 1984 could have made a legitimate claim for a NC had the NCAA not vacated wins.

Arkansas has been trying to get Gus since 2017. I think if Arkansas goes belly up this year then Gus gets a huge offer to come home.

Augustus Malzahn?

Apparently I was too vague. South Florida's coach.

 

[BamaMoon]

Does Gus really want to be back in the SEC again???

He ought to have more money Davy Crockett.

I think Golish will wind up big at some point but right now I think Florida has to find someone with some experience as a P5 HC.

It maybe more of a dream job kind of opportunity for him. Otherwise I think Gus may just live the rest of his coaching career at UCF

Dude burns hot like CNS

So did Mac and so did Napier to many. So did Scott Frost. Hiring an unproven upstart is a huge gamble at a top tier program.

Yeah, I didn't mean it as a compliment.

CNS had the unique ability to burn hot but also stay focused and/or calm down quickly.

That dude looked scary the whole game!

Whomever this is has to be trolling or they hit the bottle too hard last night. Any list with Jimbo on it needs to be immediately thrown away

Yeah, surprised they didn't go ahead and drop CNS on the list since he already has a house in south Florida.

Stoops would be interesting. When he retired I figured he "come back out" but I think he likes his life too much at this point.

Jimbo??? Who in their right mind would want Jimbo. If a kid from Hueytown, AL hadn't been there when he was there nobody would know who Jimbo is now.

Kiffin would walk to Gainesville for that job

Deep down Florida would want Urban and maybe Urban wouldn’t mind but it’s too toxic to touch

 

[BamaMoon]

Yeah, Kiffin (from the list) should be a target. But he really seems to be a good fit at OM.

Probably would be the kind of "splash" hire that folks would get excited about.

Kiffin's daughter is a sophomore at Ole Miss. He isn't going anywhere for at least 3 more years.
