This is actually a pretty bad year for UF to be looking for a new coach. There aren't many good ones out there who are available.
I could see you guys plucking someone from the NFL, because only Mullen fits the bill in the college ranks at the moment.
IMO their biggest problem is they are starting down the death spiral. They've been through how many high profile OC's now? Plus they plucked the "it guy" in Muschamp and he failed. They need a guy whose been a head coach so there is no figuring it out coming in and they need an offensive minded one. Just my 2 cents.
Wish List:
Chip Kelly
Kevin Sumlin
Gus Malzahn
Realistic:
Dan Mullen
Gary Andersen
Ruffin McNeill
Foley set the program back for the rest of this decade by not firing Musclecramps last year....missed out on James Franklin.
I'm not sure a P5 coach that's been in contention to win their conference will look at a lateral move like that. Going from the PAC-12 where he only has 3, maybe 4 teams to contend with every year to the SEC where it's any given Saturday?
Ruffin McNeil is the hotness right now. Depending on the coaching carousel, he'll be at the top of anyone's list. I could see Florida making a grab.
