The one factor Muschamp has in his favor is that whomever is deemed the best available HC will land at SoCal and, if they fire Muschamp now, the Gators would be taking another longshot.
Right.
We would be Notre Dame firing Willingham in 2004 without a sure thing like Urban Meyer to court.
It wouldn't surprise me to see Franklin go to Southern Cal, which buys Muschamp another season.
You think Florida will be dead set on a current head coach as opposed to a coordinator with a lot of experience?
Some of your fan base on other boards are out of their minds as much as Texas fans are about Saban.
"Charlie Strong will come running if we call him."
"Art Briles can't turn us down."
"Spurrier would love to retire here and we can get him back."
And fans here were no less delusional about Gruden taking the UT job.
Foley is 0-2 on hiring guys with no previous head coaching experience. I'm guessing he won't go that route again.
If I were a Gator fan I honestly wouldnt be worrying too much about this. I have no doubts UF will get it worked out fast. I think the injuries are the biggest thing that has gotten them. And if it is in fact coaching then UF's AD wont put up with it long.
