You’re the AD, who would you hire after next game?

[Akinji07]

Poll private, don’t be embarrassed about your choice. Vote freely.

 

[savbandjacket]

I voted for Mullen. Would also be ok with Todd Monken. I’m just ready to have a football coach again and get rid of capri pants.

Being realistic, Collins is coming back. So I would have a come-to-Jesus meeting with him about assistant changes and how he needs to get his head out of his ass on how he is being viewed by his own fan base and how the program is being viewed nationally (i e NBC making graphics just to clown on him, David Hale tweets on how historically bad the defense is, etc).

I’m not too sure about him coming back. I was thinking like you but I think there’s a good chance we’re gonna pay the buyout and get rid of him. It depends on how he closes out the season.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

Saban or bust

 

[CPJ= Master Yoda]

I’d go after Jayme Chadwell or Monken

I would be leery of a guy who wasn't successful at Florida. That has to be one of the top 10-15 progarms in the country in terms of having all that is needed to win games. Lots of them.

 

[ScionOfSouthland]

I would hire someone from the math department to look at which coaches have the best defenses vs recruiting rankings and I would go down the list calling people until I got to someone who knows what they are doing

 

[BuzzLaw]

Monken or Freeze

 

[ThomsonJacket]

Don't understand the Mullen love.

 

[ThomsonJacket]

I voted someone else. I'm not even going to pretend to know who could be successful at GT. I wanted Neal Brown and he hasn't done much at West Virginia.

 

[savbandjacket]

I keep getting cbs sports alerts on my phone and open them hoping for breaking news that he’s been sent packing.

 

[RamblinWreck09]

Jon Gruden is available

 

[GTWannaBee]

I voted Keep Collins only because I don’t see us being able to afford firing him AND bringing in a great coach to right the ship.

 

[Allen Koholic]

Stansbury should probably hire himself a resume coach after this season.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

I honestly believe investing the money in major upgrades at the two coordinator spots would be a better strategy than paying his buyout. We’d never have had that run under OLeary without Fridge. Dabo would never have been what he’s become without Venables.

I should probably hire myself a hooker before this weekend

If nothing else, that strategy would put a bandaid on the bleeding until the buyout is reasonable.

 

[aeromech]

Don't understand the Mullen love.

He was 69-46 at Mississippi State and had 3 teams finish in top 25. He was 34-15 at UF with half his teams finishing in the top 10. He would be a huge step up from coach skinny pants. A coach with a winning record in the SEC should be able to get us back to mediocrity, then we can make a decision from there.

No.
Collins has had three years to install his culture here, and the only thing he’s installed is a culture of losing. No coordinator is going to correct that. Collins needs to pack his öööö and go.
