Coaching carousel going to be historic

Tell me what the advantages are...

Monetarily it takes a premium to go over what they currently can offer in the college game plus he has tried the pro games before and ...so ...I see nothing

No recruiting

Coaching grown men instead of 18 year olds and all that comes with that

Pretty sure Layla would prefer NYC to North Florida.

Just a few off the top of my head

The other one that jumped out of me is that Lane is going to have to stay with the Rebels at least through the first round of playoffs. Third weekend of December. LSU and Florida are not gonna wait until then to name a HC. A coach bailing on a playoff team would be ooooooogggggllllllllllyyyyyyy press Lane cannot afford anymore.

Works out just fine for an NFL gig that can be named after the first weekend of January.

If Lane does that it will look like him bailing on another team after rebuilding his reputation after leaving UT. I doubt he does it, but I do think what we will see is Florida put pressure on him to announce something prior to ESD either way. They don't expect him to say yes, but they'll save more face that way.

That's just it. The fact that the Rebels are going to the playoffs unless they really screw the pooch and the calendar make it difficult to leave for another college gig.

He bolted leaving OM high and dry for the playoffs it would destroy his reputation again as you highlight-which would impact recruiting at his new gig. Basically he can't say anything until Ole Miss is eliminated.

Lane is kind of trapped and I think he knows it so he is having a bit of fun.

Here's the other thing: the coaches who are having success currently in the new environment are successful because they are being given the resources to win. Why would anyone leave that for a place where the resources have been mentioned so often in the past as an impediment to winning at the level fans expect? Dan Mullen won as much as you can win at Florida given the resources available and they fired him instead of giving him the additional resources he asked them for. And he says Billy was given some of that stuff and it still isn't enough. I don't know how many will agree with him but I get the impression Dan Mullen thinks he has better resources where he's at than Florida. All those shiny new athletic facilities on campus in Vegas suggest he's right.

His personality doesn't resonate with NYC and he is coming to a team that averages 3 wins a year. He wins it will be great but then expectations get high....BUT...he loses and he won't like his treatment...

$$$ -- so does college ...I think Sirianni makes 8 million so UF would pay almost double

Recruiting is part of his passion so that would not make sense...

Also he needs to manage grown men and that is a tough mentality after dealing with college kids and he failed the last time he tried...

I think he stays in college

Listen everyone.... In 2020 a program was struggling with mediocrity ...they needed to hire a AD and a Ball coach...they took a rising star and after seeing his vision they made some decisions (good or bad) and decided to go back to that same college and hire a football coach. The decision was based on a guarantee that the financial ends would take care of itself... quickly things paid of and everything has been flourishing with prices increasing and NIL getting better and more robust every year....this was a case study that will be followed.....

Florida is tired of losing with McIlwain, Napier, Mullen..etc...trust me the anger is real and they will try something that is not a coordinator or a HC of UNT...
