12) Grant McCasland North Texas - McCasland has recorded four 20-win seasons in his five years at North Texas. Only 45 yrs old.
13) Jerome Tang Baylor Assistant - If we decide to go the route similar to Arizona with a top assistant from a top program.
14) Jeff Linder Wyoming - The 44-year-old is known for running an impressive offense that could bring some life to UF after CMW less creative offenses.

20) Chris Mack Former Louisville coach - Great coach that got his name tarnished a bit at Louisville but he actually did a great job at UL Unfortunately Covid ruined his 2nd season when his team was 24-7. Also 3rd season was destroyed by covid as well with long pauses.
