Well! I hope we are in the mix, because it looks like Florida is trying to beat us and everyone else with the 🥊 punch!

What punch?

 

[fade route]

Please let it be Charlie Strong, the Gators deserve it

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I think Charlie Strong would do well there. Chip Kelly will be a nightmare for defensive coordinators wherever he goes.

 

[Orange defense]

You know...they’ll be the ones to punch us in the mouth 👄 for years to come, if Currie don’t hurry up and do something now! Or do we punch 🥊 him in the mouth, to get him to hurry up?

Chip Kelly at Florida is a scary idea

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Chip Kelly at Florida is a scary idea

Same thing was said about McElwain

 

[Volman1970]

Chip Kelly at Florida is a scary idea

Gruden at Tennessee would be more scary than that.

Florida AD responds to report indicating Gators down to 3 candidates

It will be interesting to see how Gator nation responds to the report, but one fan made their feelings known right off the bat. Twitter user @ChrisATLprayer said they would stop being a Gators fan if any of these coaches were hired and went so far as to tag Stricklin in the tweet.

Stricklin responded with his PSA for fans:

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Same thing was said about McElwain

Said by who?

I don't remember that.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Dan Mullen with dumb-dumb Tim Tebow on staff...........would be sweet

 

[BenGrimm]

Gruden at Tennessee would be more scary than that.

Based on his amazing record coaching in college?

 

[CobbVol]

I think they definitely go with an offensive coach like Kelly, Frost, Morris, or Norvell.

 

[LouderVol]

Gruden at Tennessee would be more scary than that.

for UT fans? I agree.

Chip Kelly at Florida, or Gruden at UT is scary for me as a fan.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Fake list. But Chip would pay his own way to Gainesville. Whoever they select, Florida is going to get first dibs on the cream of the HC crop.

 

[05_never_again]

Same thing was said about McElwain

I don't remember that at all. I remember people not knowing exactly what to make of that hire, other than people generally trusted Jeremy Foley's judgement because of his reputation. Some people were surprised they didn't get Mullen.

 

[Coug]

Is this the same article that Andy Staples and Finebaum laughed at on tv?

Any respectable coach ought to think twice about accepting the job at Florida after the way they ousted McElwain. Any respectable agents of said coaches is going to point out that fact as well.

Why? He apparently didn't get along with the admin from the beginning, and then he committed the cardinal sin of started not winning enough. He left himself less room for error based on how he acted. Make no mistake - if he was winning more, he'd still be there. Florida treated him no differently than any big football school would have.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Same thing was said about McElwain

No it wasn't..It was actually relief..He did ok there but he backed into almost everything he won there.

Yep and like us they will find a way to screw it up somehow.

I distinctly remember reading on VN about how great JM was going to be. How his offenses were going to light things up. How he was going to get a QB and then look out. The battered Vol fan syndrome with Florida is unreal. Anytime UF starts talking about a coaching change, many Vol fans start peeing their pants in fear. Oh no, UF is gonna get so and so and they are going to crush us for the next 20 years. Blah, blah, blah.

I personally dont care who UF gets. I fully expect them to get a big time guy given their last 2 hires. Also, I fully expect Currie to get us a Google coach.

That's because no matter who they get, they'll inevitably crush us with that coach. Not necessarily college football at large.

Unfortunately, they are really overdue to have a great coach again. Despite the school's reputation as a great program and it being a great job, and despite Jeremy Foley's reputation as a great AD, they have whiffed on 2 straight coaching hires post-Urban. In fact, Foley whiffed way more often than he got a hit on football coaches. He got Urban, but Zook, Muschamp, and McElwain were bad hires. Stricklin will probably find a good one now.

 

[GetEmVols]

So they reached out to those and missed out.

 

[MR_VOL]

I am surprised Strong isn't camping out on the 50 yard line.

 

[Stephen A Smith]

Same thing was said about McElwain

I seriously doubt anyone said that about McElwain.


I doubt many even knew who he was until hearing "he was OC at Bama".
