**Buzz Buzz Buzz** - Nappier's (ahem) Golden Ticket

There are maybe a couple this year who could beat the top four which in my mind are Georgia, Bama, Ohio st, and Texas. That’s my pick for final four unless they stack the sec against each other which I think is very likely. If the bracket were as is, it could very well be four sec teams left in the final four.

It Would be a new thing for him to do a rebuild instead of taking over a ready made team but I could see him wanting to coach if he has the competition in his blood. Some guys just can’t sit it out. SOS did the minor pro football thing a few years ago. It could happen.

 

I think an Urbs return would be an interesting watch. If it happens realistically what in the terms of time would he be able to go? Three to five years tops? Of course with and hire that question would have to ask.

 

Folks it’s been 14 years

 

Here come the douche A&M fans. . . .

Guy's a fine coach and should stay where he's at. Our fans would go all entitled A&M turd and fight it from the beginning.

 

I think a lot of people are setting themselves up for some major disappointment.

 

I don't know enough about him. I could be convinced to rank him higher. What are your thoughts and what is your impression of him?

 

really wish Indiana had ohio state and michigan earlier on their schedule -- but you can't deny what he has done already
5 wins already, when the previous seasons, they had 3, 4 and 2 wins...

No it isn't a huge gap

 

You mean throwing out names that aren't realistic will lead to disappointment? I mean people are acting like Brohm is an option. The guy is in year two at his Alma mater after cutting his teeth at Purdue for several years. Why exactly would he leave his Alma mater after two years for Florida?

Gundy has been at okstate for years and has oil money backing him. He also has the same performance issues that other coaches mentioned get heavy criticism for.

Lanning is another one. I mean sure admin has to make calls but unless there is a family component or regional preference can't see him leaving Oregon.


I catch grief for being ok with stoops but much of that is also because I see him as a potentially viable if not a still unlikely candidate because while he has a good thing going for him at Kentucky, anyone that chooses to take that job likes a challenge and Florida is a big one right now with a higher ceiling.

It also sounds like the powers that be are reportedly holding out a glimmer of hope that Napier can change this. Probably more due to the lack of coaching candidates than confidence in him.

Edit to add: my personal preference as a relatively uninformed fan would be cignetti, stoops, kiffin or kleiman in no particular order. I just see them as potentially realistic options.

 

Indiana football has been in the trash heap. He can’t be expected to beat those teams, at Indiana. Just hanging with them in year 1 would be a miracle.

 

True, but he wasn't out of coaching during those 14 years.

But he's not coming.

 

1. Huepel (highly unlikely)
2. Cignetti every time I hear a new accomplishment he moves up.
3. Kiffen
4. Golish
5. Fisch (Washington's andvanced stats are actually elite, being killed by penalties and ST)
6. Klieman
7. Chadwell
8. Lincoln Riley (don't know what to make of him)



9. Any Swamp gas member



10. Mark Stoops

 

Heupel lolol

 

The top 5-6 are obvious. We will see

 

People are different . Some can work till they’re eighty and be quite sharp and productive and others burn out before 60. I think Saban could’ve gone on for a bit if he so chose. If if they have the mind and mental fortitude left to go along with the fire in their gut.

 

This. Right now it appears to be the Lane Train or bust. I’m still not convinced he’s all that and a bag of chips. There is no Urban sitting out there to go get. I do believe there’s a handful of guys who could do much better at UF than the current crew. Every time they lose a game this season, they’ll be stricken by the masses though. Florida just needs a solid well rounded HC that has good systems, can recruit, develop and coach them up on Saturdays. Is what Tennessee has obtainable at UF? I firmly believe it is.

 

One of the advantages of hiring an alumni. Look at the passion Spurrier and Smart have for their programs.
But that isn’t always an option.

 

There’s always a coach or two out there that’s about to be successful. Figuring out which one he is is the problem

 

well, technically…
