Georgia Tech coach. Can't see his offense working against SEC defenses.
Jim Leavitt. Former coach of USF for 13 seasons and currently with the 49ers.
30 plus years experience in coaching and he will have built in recruiting ties in Florida and a much bigger stick to carry as a head coach of an SEC team.
2 losing seasons in 13 years at a program he literally built from the ground up. He is a defensive minded coach who had some dynamic offenses for the Bulls. Took down WVU routinely in their heyday under Rich Rod.
His firing at USF is in the past by 2 years and the kid's dad who instigated its was charged with grand theft. The whole thing was shady from the get go as to whether he actually did it or not. And coaches normally don't get 2.75 million dollar settlements from the school after getting fired.
Harbaugh thought enough of him to give him a job for a Super Bowl contender.
He is a helluva lot more stable than Petrino.
The one I would watch here is Del Rio. Payton is playing in Denver now, if his name starts to appear it is for 2 reasons.
1) PM has been playing middleman and thinks it is a good hire.
2) Del Rio is better than most options.
BTW: Del Rio is a defensive coach, he can laterally keep the offense in tact and just hire defensive people. We would essentiually hire a major upgrade in defense day 1. He also knows the south and the middle floirda. Would be a great hire if Gruden was out.
That is where you are wrong....He is shredding defenses with 2 and 3 star players...GT isn't exactly a hotbed landing point for recruits...That offense would work just fine in the SEC with good talent running it...People said floridas offense under Meyer wouldn't work either and yet 2 national titles later :ermm:
