    Yeah, I don't see him jumping at the chance to be a coordinator again. Deion just got a P5 job. This guy actually has a coaching track record in the pros and college. And to be fair, they did some pretty good things offensively when he had everybody healthy. Seems a bit premature, but we'll see what AZ ends up with as a replacement.

    I think UF fans have this notion that there is always something better out there.

    If he was here as a coach, he’ll have one foot out the door for another high-profile job (TV or NFL).

    and would probably get a co-ed pregnant

    BN calls the plays. That’s not likely to change.

    So do our players, lol.

    I kid, I kid. We have the same knuckleheads in other fanbases, same players too.

    That is the kind of thinking that has gotten UF to where it is.

    Not really, it's a numbers game. We have the maximum allowable on field coaches. So to bring on a new on field coach, someone has to be let go.
    Napier is not Saban. Former pro head coaches don't go to Napier to work as analysts for rehabilitation.
    Kingsbury will get a head coaching job when one is available.

    Remember, Kingsbury took the USCw OC job shorty after getting fired a Texas Tech. Then just a few weeks later he somehow landed the Arizona HC gig. He had no business getting that job then. After just signing a contract extension last year, Arizona owes him a bunch of $$$. So he doesn’t have to jump right back into coaching if he doesn’t want to, even ever. My guess is he gets a pretty boy tv gig and runs with that for awhile. The current HC of the LA Rams is currently contemplating retiring and doing just that, at 36yrs, Kingsbury is 43. Coaching is a massive daily grind now, I’m surprised more guys don’t do this.

    If his pattern continues he will fail up, meaning he'll get the another NFL HC job for no apparent reason......that is if there's no lady boy pictures coming out of Thailand:ninja2:

    Once you've made into the NFL coaching club you're pretty much guaranteed a spot no matter how often you fail.
