Dungy or Shannahan would be two exciting coaches (Dungy my choice as well.) Dungy would be an especially good choice given his core values. I just don't know if Dungy would have the passion and energy to recruit. Would he stay more than 3-5 years?
Strong would be an interesting choice if he was available. (I am sure Urban shared with Strong something about his health. I cannot imagine that Strong took the Louisville job without some read on his likelihood of replacing Urban.) Mullen would continue the Urban Meyer tradition, is probably a good coach, but the verdict is still out on his being a great coach. I am not longer that excited about having Stoops. Clearly he did not have a good year and it is also clear that his team did not have the depth or talent to continue without Bradford. Mack Brown might be an interesting choice if we could get him away from Texas. Could Pete Carrol run a clean program here? I would think that we should try to hire a great coach that could give us 10 good years. Are there any of our assistant coaches we could promote from within? -----Original Message----- From: gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ken Kirkley Sent: Saturday, December 26, 2009 10:34 PM To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [gatortalk] why is Gruden not being mentioned? If I had my pick it would be Dungy, but probably won't be. There are lots of good candidates and all have pluses and minuses Mullen - short time as a head coach, but knows the Urban way Strong - Not proven, but a loyal Gator Spurrier - Would be a good homecoming and provide us 3-4 transitional years Peterson - wins with inferior talent, does he have the Florida connections needed for recruiting? The question is do we need a proven head coach, or are we willing to take on an accomplished assistant - think Texas D coordinator or Gus Malzahn at Auburn. What BCS school coach do you want? I can't think of many that wow me. Schiano at Rutgers? Edsell at UConn? Butch Davis? This won't be an easy hire, but I have confidence we will do well and the program will survive and thrive.
