The fear here is do they get James Franklin? It's no secret that Lane Kiffin has been after it or Saban coming out. I do not like this news.

😂 Saban isn’t coming out of retirement for Florida. Dumbest crap I’ve heard in a while.

Honestly I don’t see Florida right now as a better job than Ole Miss for Lane. If Florida gets their leadership right then it could be a very attractive job for someone.

I can almost 100% assure you it'll be someone from that list or someone I didn't mention of that "caliber".The UF insiders have essentially confirmed that this won't be Stricklin's hire, and he'll just be the mouthpiece who announces it for whomever the big boosters decide on. They want a "splash".

See this is why I think Florida sucks as a job right now. A lot like UNC imo.

Pos wouldn't be on my list at all.

Who would be your 1 and 2? If either one is Kiffin who's the other one?

Mullen would be #2. It’s clear now that Florida messed up firing him over one season.

I am biased but go to be around his family a bit when he was in Starkville. Was thrilled when he was talking to Tennessee. If he goes 11-1 at UNLV, he’ll be due for a bigger job with all the openings.

Kiffin has NOT been after the Fla job, he's close to signing an extension with Ole Miss. You don't do that knowing the Fla job is opening.

And assuming Fl still wants to be cheap(er) Golesh wouldn’t break the bank.

This seems more of a Danny White hire approach.
But, can you imagine Golesh at FL and playing Heup' Vols? Gazillion offensive plays in the game, defenders sucking up so much oxygen that even the fans can't breathe.
Anyway, I have a hunch within two years Danny is no longer at UT. Maybe he'll replace the dude at FL.

Danny may be out within a year

These schools can’t afford to wait after Penn State made the first move. There are only so many homerun type hires to go around and now it’s going to become an arms race for the top candidates.

I’m surprised Auburn hasn’t pulled the plug on Freeze yet.

My question is how many of the so called "homerun hires" have actually turned out to be that over the last several years. There is an argument to be made that the best Head coach hires over the last five years are Josh Heupel and Curt Cignetti and neither of those were considered "homerun" hires of any sort. You might could add Kalen DeBoer to that list but I think the jury is still out a bit on him with the way last season went, as well as the Florida State game this year.

Mullen lovers, if he waits long enough, UT may come knocking in a year or two.

And that will be the end of my love for the Vols. Same goes for Franklin. I’ll never cheer for either of those bums.

Tried to be positive the past few bums we hired, but for me, the list is very thin.

I like Heupel, just need him to clean up a few things.

****These are only my opinions and do not reflect on VolNation or any of its sponsors.

We don't play them annually anymore, so they are no more relevant than any other SEC team now.

I thought Currie could have been great AD had he landed Mullen in 2017 search. After Schiano Sunday, I wanted Kiffin back since he was the only coach lobbying for the job in public media. Especially once we were down to Dave Doeren, Mel Tucker, and Jeremy Pruitt.

Regardless of feelings on Kiffin, no one with any brain cells would say Kiffin would have done anything similar to the Pruitt years.

He just wouldn’t have gotten caught.

Hmmm...Florida AD needs to get this one right or he's next.

- Gotta at least kick the tires on Golesh. He knows the SEC, and recruits well.
- Don't think UF would want a "recycled" coach at this point. They need a new name with a winning record.
- Kiffin's probably not interested, but he might use the UF opening to get a raise.
- Franklin is an obvious choice. Probably love to come back south, and he knows the SEC.
- Be surprised if Brohm left UL.
- Maybe the OC at a school like tOSU, Oregon, Bama, or Indy?

No idea, but there are a lot of dominos (jobs) down in P4. Gonna be fun to watch the scramble to see who can get who first.

Edit: Be very surprised if it's an NFL OC/DC. What with the complications of NIL and the Portal, you'd be a fool to leave the relative stability of the NFL for this crap.

Guess I'll grab one of those State Fair sized bags of popcorn on the way home tomorrow.

Go to a Subway that makes popcorn. Only movie theater is better. Lol

He'd leave for the right price and or reassurements. Florida is an elite job where you can win National Championships, there really are less of those out there then people think. Sure, the pressure is immense, but so is it at every other top job out there, and this is one of those coveted "leave where you are, even if it's good situation" type of jobs. That said, he's not my first choice, but he'd listen if there was serious interest.

Florida fires him after they win ? You can tell they were waiting for the talks with another coach to become final.

I like that you agreed on Mullen, lots of people **** on him, he's a great coach. I wanted him badly at Tennessee.

I have always been a Kiffin fan

He's coaching better the older he gets

Yet, Kiffin still hasn't done as much in his entire career as a head coach as Josh Heupel has here.

I hope they don't hire one the coaches here on Volnation.
