    For who, though? And, who did we pass on due to cost I wonder?

    I don’t know about that. He did pretty well at a secondary school. It was surprising that he only managed one in his tenure here.

    This time’s one thousand! Hire a well known name who specializes in offense and offensive play calling, PERIOD! A coach whose offense maximizes the talent that is found in the State of Florida. If we are reaching for the next “diamond in the rough”, then don’t bother. It would be more cost effective to keep Napier if we go bargain hunting again.

    It's a bizarre suggestion for a coaching replacement. I don't get it.

    My question is, why hasn't he gotten even a lower P5 (well, P4 now) job at this point?

    I just threw a name out there that isn’t Meyer or Kiffin. And that kinda supports another point - you don’t just fire the guy you have until you have his replacement at least partly figured out

    I kinda figured you did lol. Gundy is in a situation where they could name the field or stadium after him.

    Spot on having someone solid on deck before pulling the trigger on Billy. We have the luxury of time. No need to panic.

    I'm just throwing out some alternative names. Yes Kiffen or Rielly but I have lots of doubts this adminstration is going to bag a big name coach. Or even pursue one.

    Not him in particular but taking a job or wait for a better one and more money. He will get a shot but he may say no to a miss st.

    One freaking receiver in the end zone for the Hail Mary pass? Do we even practice that play?

    I wonder though now that big money talks (openly) more than ever, if the big boosters say screw the administration, this is what you’re doing….

    When do we lock this thread too? Might as well make it a clean sweep, right?

    No one locks my thread. Why would they? We want Urban Meyer back.
