I was going to do a mock post on the chances of the GPOOE™ being named Florida’s next head coach, but I see Pat Dooley has taken the wind out of my sails by noting that some folks have already suggested that possibility. Seriously, of course.
Damn, it’s a shame Jeremy Foley has never been that desperate an athletic director.

I’ll contribute to his salary. A guy who couldn’t crack 900 on the SAT and got a 22 on the Wonderlic leading the Gators’ entire program? And one that would be just about as difficult to fire as anyone else the Gators could possibly hire?
Count me in.

Agree with the enthusiasm, but don’t know about that last part. There is a massive contingent of ‘we love Tebow but he is a kind of a dumb weirdo’ UF fans. They’d make the ice pretty thin from the get go.

And I know some FU fans who were seriously miffed when the Jags didn’t pick him up after Denver released him. Plus, they now hate the Broncos as well.
They probably don’t have enough room to put up tablets for the motivational epistles he would generate. He would have to post them the old fashioned way – nail them to the Catholic Church doors a la Martin Luther.
If he is hired, I’ll buy stock in the pajamas company that makes the Superman outfits because all the kids in Scottland will want a pair for Christmas.
Hundreds of Philippino kids would refrain from the knee-jerk reaction of grabbing their crotch every time his name is mentioned if he’s busy learning how to coach.

I think they’ll end up with McElwain, which I think would be a good hire, unfortunately.

Jeremy can’t accentuate enough that even though the last Nick Saban protégé didn’t exactly work out, this one will because mighty oaks from little acorns grow?

No way they go for the Saban tree again. Also, a couple of more blowouts for Philly and I think Kelly is in play. However, doesn’t he have a show cause penalty pending from the NCAA?
LikeLike
It’s up. I think Kelly prefers not having to deal with bullshit of college kids, but who knows. Florida will be a beast if he were to end up there.

Kelly went to the playoffs last year, and the Eagles are 7-3 right now. Unless he’s just jonesing to return to college, there is no way Florida gets him. As for the Saban tree and McElwain, it’s not like he was a defensive coordinator. He fits their criteria, and since I don’t think they’re going to land any of their dream candidates, I think they’ll settle for him.

Senator, I’d really love it if you did a blog post on “what is the best case scenario for Georgia” playing out the next few weeks of the season. With bonus points for second best and worst case scenario, etc.

He can also command an announcing krewe to do what he wants it to do. That’s harder to do than finding a stray Uncle Verne, rounding him up and transporting him back to the ACLF. And it would be exciting news for Dan Shanoff

I can see it now. Tebow crying when they lose. Tebow crying when a recruit doesn’t sign. Tebow crying when the fans boo. Tebow crying when a player rapes one of the students. Tebow crying when he runs out of corch’s hand-made hair gel.

That will surprise the Bull Gators, but it will not be in a good sort of way for Foley since the heavy-duty donors are not looking for another assistant to train or another player from Georgia.

Not mentioned by anyone yet, but Cam Cameron, LSU OC has head coaching experience at several levels and is the shining light of LSU offensive scheming…Foley should look in that direction..most of the HCs being mentioned are very comfortable in their current jobs.

So, Pat Dooley would have me believe that Jeremy Foley will have no contact with any coaches he would like to hire before the regular season ends. No contact.
