=Weezer;10736874]Stoops will be approached but he isn't leaving OU unless he's fired.
I'll take HG's word about Mullen, but I find it hard to believe interest isn't gauged.
Petrino has the buyout, so he's out.
RichRod seems like the obvious choice, but Foley rarely goes for the obvious choice.
Would he go after a Briles or a Patterson? Even so, I'm not sure how interested either would be to coach in the SEC. Given the talent in Florida and their already established ties to Texas, either could make it interesting on the recruiting trail. Both would have to adjust to a higher level of football on a week in, week out basis. Given a choice between the two, if I were an AD, I would lean more towards Patterson, but Foley might lean more towards a Briles as his best fb hires have been offensive minds while his worst have been defensive minds.
Whatever the case, UF is still an attractive job. With all the in-state talent, it's a hotbed for recruiting. But Foley really needs to get on the ball updating the facilities. I'm guessing gator football has to provide a pretty substantial windfall for the AD so he really needs to reinvest some of that money back into the program and update all the existing facilities, if not just build new ones all together. Sounds like he's gotten lazy with his job.[/QUOTE]
Patterson isnt leaving TCU, hes to far along in his career and the schedule would eat him alive. Sure he gets the most out of his kids but would he really be the wow hire UF needs to pull kids away from St and back to Florida?
Art practically built Baylor to what it is today. Why risk a flop when he has already proven he can win at a high level and Baylor is getting a top notch stadium.
Foley calls Harbaugh..... (sp?)
