Plus as much as like Corral if there ever was a year to get a top dual-threat guy, this is the year to do it. There are like 3 5-star dual threat guys in the south this year. And that's not even including other solid 4-star types committed elsewhere.

Unless we go Air Raid.....I have to admit Corral would kill it in an offense like Oklahoma circa 2008.
I'd prolly OD if that every came to fruition. OU's offense and a QB like Mayfield is my dream. Love to watch them operate.
If we can get Frost and Corral stays committed that would be like hitting the lottery.
That’s why I’m so pissed about losing Grier. No matter who’s fault that was. I just think about what could have been. That kid can spin it. 15,000 yards and 195 TDs in HS. With the right offensive coaches and Florida talent around him, it could have been amazing.
Like you say he would have never had a great year here with Nuss and company. Decent play unlike what we have now but they would have limited him a lot.
Georgia has won 40 national titles in 10 different sports, including 2 NCAA football championships, along with 14 SEC football championships. Florida has won 39 national titles in 14 sports, including 3 national championships in football, to go along with 8 SEC football championships. And we still hold the series edge in football, 51-43, after the demolition exercise we all witnessed yesterday. So I'd hold my hubris in check a little if I were you. You saw what good all the talk did before the game this week. Winners back it up on the field.
Grier wouldn't have been that good here because of poor coaching/play calling and bad system.
At this point just about all the players deserve a clean slate as far as I'm concerned

Franklin is from PA. He's home. It's his dream job, and he has a top 5 team. Why, again, would he come to Florida?
Technically, yes. I guess you'd call it the mythical consensus national championship. You know the drill here. No reason to play semantics (unless you're Auburn, and want to claim the Poulan Weedeater/Peapicker Poll title from 1946).
It's time again to let that coaching carousel spin... 
I'd be a surprised if 'the fix' is not in on Dan Mullen / Scott Stricklin....
(I'm still wondering where that stolen credit card came from...)
From a strictly HC'ing job point of view, I'd be fine with Dan as the new HC.
UCF HC - Scott Frost -- Neb Alum, they will likely also be looking for a new coach.
USF HC - Charlie Strong -- Not a bad guy or HC imo, but pretty unlikely.
IowaSt HC - Matt Campbell -- Good resume' IF they want to go new/young.
Memphis HC - Mike Norvell -- Short but good resume' so taking a chance maybe.
Stretches:
PSU OC - Joe Moorhead -- Not a HC, so a big chance to take.
Clemson DC - Brent Venables -- Highly unlikely, unless they can get SOS as OC.
Big stretches:
UF Ambassador - Steve Spurrier - Wish, but very unlikely imo.
OK HC Retired - Bob Stoops - Less of a chance than SOS.
LSU Fired HC - Les Miles - I just can't see it, but who knows?
VaTech HC - Justin Fuente -- 2016 ACC CoY - Too soon to change.
WashSt HC - Mike Leach -- Baggage galore.
ESPN Analyst - John Gruden -- Doubtful, maybe tennis-sea, but unlikely there too.
Broadcaster - Cow Chip Kelly -- Please gawd, Just Say NO...
My choices would be:
Spurrier (3-4 years)
Mullen (8-10 years)
Frost (career)
Campbell (career, but a 9.4 Mil buyout)
After that, it's a coin toss for me...
At this point, I'm having a bit of a problem caring who they hire...

Lord.
They won the game, big, and yet are still so insecure they are sniffing around here for attaboys.
Son, modern history, and not just real recent...
Florida owns Georgia. Massive football domination, three national titles, long winning streaks, contenders year in and year out. Even the disappointing Mac era saw Gators win 2/3 over the necks.
Two NCAA basketball titles and your advantage reaches back to segregation days, although your girls are much sluttier, so congratulations.

Dawgs have 20 womens team titles and 9 mens ncaa team titles. You have 4 mens and 8 womens titles not recognized by ncaa. We have won 9 mens titles since your last mens title. How many sec all sports titles does florida have? Directors cup standings? Your athletic program is miss st with a pulse. So again, come back when your relevant again and leave your bs at home with your cousin
Exactly. East titles are for perpetual underachieving programs like georgia. At florida we expect to compete for national titles.
We fired a coach that beat you the last two of three.
Why? Because we expect our coaches to win SEC-C games, not just show up.
If you thought we deserved to win the East either of the last two years, you're in for a hell of a wake up when Bama comes calling.
Lol at all the butthurt trolls because Stricklin had the balls to do this
This post reeks of fear. "Why did you fire Mac!?" We get it though, you'll be back to your regularly scheduled beatings soon enough.
We need to make an anti-Saban hire this time around. We need to find his kyrptonite, not his disciple.

"no pressure"? Really!?

Readers might reasonably wonder what unexpected budget concessions A.D. White insisted on from Frost's football program as being his sport's fair share of sudden athletic budget cuts?Mike Bianchi for Orlando Sentinel said:
The interloping UCF fans on ITG seem to be unaware that UCF has the on-campus athletic facilities that it shows off to potential recruits nowadays, primarily as the result of the high-level

Norvell did not take over with a real good QB.
Paxton Lynch already declared for the NFL. Clay Horgerson (Dana's nephew) transferred when Fuente left
Norvell recruited Riley Ferguson and David Moore.
The only QB's on the roster were Jason Stewart and Brady Davis. Stewart was a career backup and Davis has yet to see the field.
Ferguson was not already there. Norvell recruited him out of JC..
This just made me hope both happened and they both fail lol I dont know why, Just that optimism
You're the typical backwards UGA fan...here talking your trasg
Besides being a huge douche bag, why are you here? (You don't need to answer, it's rhetorical)
How come everytime we search for a new cisch, we never give Leach a ring? He is like Spurrier, passes the ball around the yard, gives great quotes, and is cool to have a beer with.
Yes. There is more financial commitment than when O'Leary was coach, retreating is not happening bc Hitt is retiring
Where is this "Norvell has recruited well coming from?" Looking at his commitments Memphis doesn't have any top ranked recruits which is probably standard for them. Nonetheless, there is nothing to indicate his recruiting has taken off. UCF (Frost) crushed Memphis earlier and will do so again when they meet in AAC championship game.
I wish Foley would make it known who he would like to be the next coach, so we could scratch that name off the list.
Agreed - I think Fuentes built a good foundation...lets see how well he does before we go crowning him...
i think Scott Frost if my pick
Norvell and Ryan Silverfield are big time recruiters but they are recruiting at Memphis so that has to be taken into consideration. We tried to get Silverfield on staff last year.
You can't just pull up the rivals or 247 commitment page and say "his recruiting looks subpar"
You have to know the Memphis situation deeper. You have to know what facilities exist...or don't exist in that matter.
It's pretty much a commuter school. They are finally getting a strong booster commitment. For years that was lackluster. They have finally been approved for an IPF. Their practice facilities are on the south Campus that isn't even connected to the main campus. Their home stadium (and basketball court for that matter) is pretty decent but not even on campus. Considering this he has still got some playmakers on the team.
You also have to factor in that the school is around 60 miles away from Ole Miss. Also consider that many UT, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Mississippi State, and even a few LSU, Bama, and Auburn boosters and alumni occupy the city. Behind Atlanta it probably has the most SEC fans, boosters, and alumni living in the county and suburbs. Kids in the area just didn't grow up on Memphis football. Now slowly some are. I mean one of the HUGE Alabama boosters Logan Young (the guy who got Bama in trouble with Albert Means in the 90's/00's) occupied the city. One of their big basketball and Olympic sport boosters Mike Rose, the head man in charge of First Tennessee Bank gave no shiz about Memphis football and was a HUGE UT football donor. Even FedEx Founder/CEO was a decent donor to Memphis but not like he is now..I mean for crying out loud, his own son Cannon Smith originally signed with Miami, transferred to Ole Miss, and finally ended up at Memphis basically by default. Not until Cannon played for Memphis was Fred highly involved in donating to Memphis. Even the movie The Blind Side shows that local influential citizens the Tuoy's were Ole Miss alumni/donors.
He actually done a great job considering the circumstances of attracting local talent. He's made a small pipeline to South Panola (who has won numerous state championships, and a couple of mythical national championship) with Darrell Henderson and O'Bryan Goodson. In the past this was an Ole Miss school first, Mississippi State snagged a few, and none ever went to Memphis. Norvell is starting to make a name in the Nashville area as well as talented areas of Arkansas.
It's beyond stupid to judge his recruiting on how he matched up against Frost. Everyone knows Florida prep talent is light years ahead of Tennessee prep talent.
Look beyond the 247 and rivals pages and look at the history. He recruited their highest class ever and even beat out a few SEC schools for recruits.
He has an eye for talent. He saw something special in JUCO transfer Riley Ferguson. He found Tony Pollard who is a record setting returner and possibly the APY record setter before his career is over. Just wait until you see his upcoming QB in action. David Moore.
But dude has playmakers on the roster that he himself recruited.
Sure Fuente and Frost are probably better candidates but Norvell is right up there with them.
If we are comparing due to H2H matchups of Frost v Norvell...then Norvell is better than Herman.
