I think it’s pretty obvious that this has been in the works for a bit. They probably already had an agreement with Gus’ successor before Friday’s game (I think it’s Kinne). Need to get that finalized quickly as early national signing day is fast approaching as are other P4 openings. Can’t wait around anymore these days.
Best HC Candidates
- Thread starter Shark19
- Start date
Kinnie would be a collosal letdown given that his success as a head coach has been dependent on Mack Leftwich, who would be promoted to head coach at Texas State the instant Kinnie bolts.
Well, it was bound to happen. You’ve finally lost any chance that you’ll ever be taken seriously on this forum after this post. What a moronic statement. Tim Harris has zero credibility and the others don’t even merit discussion.
So did Lebby. Kinne would be in way over his head. Everyone wants the next purple squirrel. Make UCF great again. Bring back frosty
AL is either the stupidest person alive or he is the most obnoxious person alive. One or the other there are no other choices.
I thought it was a pretty funny troll myself. All, save Tim Harris Jr., are former cow head coaches, with Alex Golesh being the current head cow.

I couldn't stand to look much at site lately so I was surprised to see news about Gus. If I understand correctly him taking the FSU job has saved us 12million in buyout clause if he was fired. That was a very nice thing Gus did for our program because we all know it wasn't working out. I hope AD does a better job of hiring right fit for next HC. We need someone who knows how to run an offense that knows how to use the speed and finesse of Florida athletes.
I'm a no on Mullen.A couple of the guys mentioned in this article on Purdue would be interesting here too......anyone want to kick the tires on Dan Mullen?

Purdue has plenty of options to consider after moving on from Walterswww.cbssports.com
Am I missing something with these stats? How can they be 6th nationally on offense with rushing ranked 16th and passing 30th?
Just looking at the history of Texas State football and they pretty consistently only won 2-4 games for like a decade before he got there. Not sure it's enough to convince me he's the best hire, but he's young, has FBS coaching experience, and can put together a modern offense. Could do worse and could do better, IMO. Should get an interview at least to see what his vision for the program would be.
I like Sumrall especially if he brings his QB
I think Stein would be a good choice. Might even get sock boy to be GA for QBs,lol.

I come in peace.
Was curious to see if you all would want him back. I think the 12-0 season had way more to do with Milton than Frost. Guy was an athletic freak who knew how to win. Frost should write MM a check for a few million. Just my opinion but you all would be foolish to bring Frost back.
Just hire a guy to kick Colorados ass annually. Glad you all got into a power conference BTW. Well deserved.
Have to admit, I'm still ticked with Frost's comment during an interview after he was hired to coach Nebraska. He said that he wished the ring he'd gotten from UCF just said "Champions" rather than "National Champions." Well, if you really feel that way, Scotty, then pay back the bonus money you got for winning a national championship.
Highly unlikely that Frost will ever coach UCF again, in my opinion.
Frost isn’t my first choice but would take him over some of the rumored candidates.
This guy has won at every level he's coached. Imagine what he could do recruiting at a P4 in Florida and not handcuffed by the 5 year military commitment and high academic standards which scares away top recruits from the military academies.
I know his offense is not the most exciting to watch, but he has shown the ability to adapt his offense and change with the times. I'm sure it would still be a run oriented offense, but with Florida skill position talent I'm sure it would be a balanced offense. Plus he has good defenses. After watching our defenses allow teams to run up and down the field at will, I'd love to see our defense get off the field on 3rd and long.
What he's done with the talent he has at a military academy is quite impressive. He's shown the ability to identify underrated talent and develop players. Having said that, I doubt we hire him.😄

Convinced at this point that AD doesn't have a clue or anyone he is interviewing.
They can have him.....we couldn't sell him to the fan base
