They would have to take a Chance on someone. It will be very unlikely they pull a proven coach with a good situation this late in the game.
Exactly. and outside of A&M which is extremely rare, how many coaches hire the proven guy? GA hired Smart. Vols hired Pruitt. OU hired Riley. None of those guys were proven and that's three of the top jobs in the country. Mehlen did a good job for Ms State, but even he isn't a proven championship coach. Proven coaches at top jobs don't jump ship. It's not like Peterson is going to come to Florida. Not happening.
 
From Rusty Mansell on UGA board...

Another deal that you should expect to hear some on is James Coley and the Miami OC job. He has family in that area. He and his wife both are from there. Coley turned more money and the Texas AM OC job last year because his family loves Athens. He is an elite recruiter for this staff, so it will not be about money. CKS will pay him to stay, if he were to leave it will be about location. I know this for fact, he really likes Athens and this roster.

Coley to Miami, Cheney and Pittman to UT? UGA meltdown commence...
 
Not when you have a stable athletic department. They ain’t Tennessee.

I think your true feelings on Mehlen are starting to rise to the surface imo

Timing is still a problem if that happened. Guys who get paid well aren't moving this late unless they just want to reset their clock, and that's not someone UF would want.

A&M ran the best search in the last decade probably. Knew who they wanted.... carefully unlocked their safe.... loaded it in a truck...backed it up to his front door... hit dump.
 
I could see Florida hiring Babers if Mullen left.

I know everyone here loves Babers, but I actually don’t. He has good offenses, but defenses less so, and he has enough Kiffin in him from a personality standpoint that overall he doesn’t scare me that much. He would get some big wins, but not sure if he can run a sustainably elite program.
