I just finished lunch with two other passionate Gator fans. We went to UF in the '80's. We were trying to figure out how Billy could keep his job and also what we think he should do.
To keep his job, let DJ play the entire game this week and then alternate him and Mertz the rest of the season. Play the young RB's more and turn the keys of the offense over to Russ Calloway. If he did all of those things and we won 5-6 games, I think we could stomach that.
On a more creative side, Billy's buyout is $26M through 2028 or basically $6.5M a year. I say we go back to some of our retread coaches who were good at one side of the ball. Give Mullen $3.5M to be the OC and Muschamp $3M to be the DC. We would break even with the buyout and Billy could recruit and be the CEO. We would have a great OC and DC and all Gators would be smiling. Dan and Will may like to make that kind of money without the headaches of being a head coach.
Thoughts and try to keep it light... This is to be fun!
