Florida dismisses Will Muschamp

http://sports.usatoday.com/2014/11/16/w ... ida-gators

I wonder who the'll look at to replace him. Maybe Kirby Smart?

Rich Rodriguez is my prediction.

What? Why would they do that? Maybe our DC, who happened to be the dc for Florida the one good year they had under Muschamp.

Dan Mullen would be a good, sensible hire for them. I imagine there would be interest on both sides.

I think would prefer Todd Graham over Rich Rod.

I, for one, think this is gonna be a fairly interesting coaching search, given the situation Florida's in. After looking through the popular names that are gonna be mentioned, makes me think that Dan Quinn is the best candidate, however whether he wants to hold out for an NFL head coaching gig is another question.

Also, as a Longhorn fan, let me just say I am so glad we got Charlie Strong before Florida had a chance too.

Life long Florida fan, and I like Muschamp. Great defensive guy and really good recruiter. He he was just soo damn conservative. It cost him the South Carolina game Saturday. The pressure of being Florida's HC is a lot (believe it cost us Meyer). I don't think Foley would hire a 1st time HC again. I think it will be an offensive minded guy like Mullen who was their O coordinator in the 08 national championship year. Rich Rod would be awesome as well. It's going to be interesting, whoever it is, will inherit an insanely talented football team like Urban Meyer did after the Ron Zook era.

Like I said don't think it'll be a first time guy or a defensive guy like Quinn. He's well regarded in Gainsville as they rode one of the most dominant defenses in Florida history in 2012 to a sugar bowl, but just not the right time for him.

Vegas has Oklahoma states mike Gundy as the favorite.

Call me crazy but I think Spurrier goes back home.

That would make a lot of sense. The offensive minded guy we are looking for. SEC known for dominant defenses, but we've been spoiled with Spurrier and Urban Meyer offenses. Watching an anemic offense for the last 4 years, Gundy would be a good get.

Haha, imho I think the man is done. He just doesn't seem into it anymore.

Very possible.

I think Florida wants a splashy hire though. Gundy would be very interesting. Schiano would be a great hire IMO but don't know if that fits the "sexy" category

It's hard to see that happening. Gundy is an Oklahoma State alum and T. Boone Pickens has deeper pockets than anyone at Florida does.

Not really relevant to the thread, but it's kind of funny to see a Longhorn with an avatar of The Boz.

Haha you know I never even thought how bad a look it was as a Longhorn fan. I guess in my defence I am a millennial so my cop out is I was not around for his hey-day in college *shrugs*

Ya, now that I think more of it that makes sense as well. Out of curiosity what are your thoughts on Jim McElwain (Colorado State coach), or Doc Holliday (Marshall)?

Those two seem like popular lower-key names being thrown out, after you get past your Freezes, Stoops', Kelly/Harbaugh's.

I personally don't know a ton about them, but I've seen Doc Holliday's name come several times on Alligator Army (SB Nation blog). I'm just worried that Folley is going for the biggest name possible instead of the best canidate for the job.

Report out today says Florida will reach out to Chip Kelly regarding the head coaching position.

Chip absolutely hates boosters and dealing with recruting, he won't even consider the job.
