Cool, I'm just wondering who Florida will hire now that Kelly is at UCLA and they keep saying Frost to Nebraska, maybe Mullen or Strong?

"Dan Mullen has been targeted to be the next head coach at Florida, according to sources with direct knowledge of the situation. Yahoo Sports sources also indicated that a decision is expected by the end of the day on Sunday."

I wonder how resources at Florida compare to Mississippi State. Florida probably has a better football reputation because of the Spurrier and Meyer years, so that may help with recruiting. But I'm not sure how much versus Mississippi State. I want someone at Florida who will beat Georgia.

Yep! UF needs another 8-4 coach.

Florida finalizing a deal with Mullen to be their new coach. If true, that is a great move for the Gators.

If Schiano goes to Tennessee, and Florida remains a dumpster fire, Georgia will be in the SECCG every year.

Well they do play in the easiest division in football (pro, college, high school, Jr high, children's rec)

Texas A&M fired Sumlin, OP needs to update.

Nah dude I think he will do better than people might think.

A&M is going to lure Fisher away from FSU

Good opportunity to get a raise after a crappy season, but going against SEC West every season, ouch...

Brian Bohannon looks to be in the running for the HC job down in Statesboro along with their current interim coach.
