What if UF goes after Art Briles?

Kiffin or Golesh would both be the nightmare scenario at Florida. Gruden doesn’t really scare me.

Saw in another thread, or maybe on ESPN or CBS, there is a 'source' in Florida that says if they move on from Napier they will be looking for a "proven, winning, Power Conference" coach.
Does that leave Golesh out? - I hope so as I think Golesh with Florida's resources would be a juggernaut.
Does that leave art Briles out? - not sure that it does, but if folks look past his history he would be tough to beat.
Kiffin ticks all the boxes, question is would he leave Ole Miss where winning 9 or 10 a year keeps youemployed for a very long time.

Both versions of Grumors were fun, but the first round was really crazy. People were posting exclamation points to show they heard something.

It’s all smokescreeny and whatnot.

I think Kiffin would take the job with the right assurances. Ole Miss is built up for now and you’re right he can coach his career there and have a statue built. But if he wants to contend for national titles yearly he would need a job with the resources of Florida.

Golesh? Yeah I think they would have to strike out a few times to go that route. Probably a little too proud to swallow that hire. Which is a good thing bc he would be phenomenal there. If Heupel ever left that would be my first call.

Dan Patrick will have Jon Gruden on his show at 10:25 am. Dan teased his appearance by saying he is ready to coach again, but in the college ranks. I guess "soon", but please not Florida, Tune in and see. His show is on Peacock.

He'll have a tough time explaining the emails that got him fired. I highly doubt he gets hired anywhere.

I don’t expect him to succeed. The game has changed too much and his name doesn’t carry as much weight as it did 10 years ago, especially for HS kids.

Interview got a little tense when DP pressed him with multiple questions on the lawsuit with NFL that he did not want to discuss.

On coaching in college - Paraphrasing "Not going to start any rumors."; "I'm learning the new college rules on NIL and other changes to the game". "Opportunity to be on a team is appealing"

Gruden obviously was more interested in promoting his youtube channel than elaborating on any return to the NFL or college football.

Gruden sounds like he'd take anything put in front of him right now. My, how the mighty fall.

I sincerely hope that UF hires Gruden when they can Napier. Would ensure a Vols win streak for the entire time he was in Gainesville.

Dude is washed up, and wasn't that good to begin with.

Make the right call (lol), Florida Athletic Director and Board of Trustees!!!! GRUDEN TO GAINESVILLE!!!!
