There's no obvious up and coming hotshot waiting in the wings.
It's gonna be a bumpy ride in Gainesville for the next three months and beyond.
There are plenty of obvious hotshots waiting out there for their break in a Power 5 conference. The problem will be that Florida will be like Texas in the fact they will want instant winning gratification and a big name splash. And in reality it will take some time to build a program to the style of a new coach. But this is something neither the fans nor alumni will be willing to wait for.
Look at the heat Strong is already taking in Texas. He's looking at a potential seven loss season and could sink lower. His honeymoon period ended when the clock struck 00:00 and BYU started celebrating. He has to perform miracles next year to keep the wolves at bay.
He should just come on home after this season. Most of Gator Nation would welcome him with open arms.
As I said before, Strong should tell you guys where to go and what to do with yourself. He deserved that job when you hired Muschamp.
And he's in a position now to ride it out. To the tune of a $20 million buyout if they fire him.
Having said all that to say this, I'm glad Florida didn't hire him.
strong hadnt really done anything impressive at louisville yet when we hired muschampAs I said before, Strong should tell you guys where to go and what to do with yourself. He deserved that job when you hired Muschamp.

I think Charlie Strong should've stayed at UL for another season. Of course he had no way of being completely sure, but even when he took the Texas job he had to have known Muschamp probably wouldn't make it through 2014. Strong would've done a great job at Florida IMO.
If he can't get Mullen, I think George O'Leary would be a good candidate. He's done well for himself at UCF. And even though he's a bit older, he could probably turn the UF program around and maybe start grooming a replacement.
