“Texas hires Elko” (gif was too large)
i think the OP is just having a little fun, Sark's already been fired from USC once.
I don't know if he'd take it. He's got it made at OM, plus I wonder it's harder to win at UF than most of us think? They've cycled through a ton of coaches since Urban.
USC will not hire Sarkisian back after what led to him being the first time he was HC there.
Talent and budget at Florida >>>>>>ole miss. You can win a National title at Florida, probably can’t be done at ole miss. Pressure and douche fan base is much worse at Florida though.
Spurrier definitely spoiled them, and Irvin Meyer did, too. They don’t tolerate losing now, even though it’s still relatively new to them compared to other big programs.
All depends on what OM does. If they make the playoff, they have a shot at keeping him. Choke and go 9-3, he may stay in Gainesville after they beat them the week before the Egg Bowl.
So was Petrino. But if he could guarantee the Pigs 9 wins a season, they’d have the contract signing at the Little Rock Harley Dealership this December.
The Florida guys I work with wants them to make a run for Kiffin.
Petrino without Jimbos horrible stench handcuffing him is a very good OC. If Their O line holds up he should put up some points this year.
Yeah, a lot of people forget that they were the last 'first time' school to win a National Championship back in 1996. Crazy that we haven't had a 'new' national champion in almost 30 years. (no, UCF and TCU don't count).
What would Lincoln have to do to get fired after year 3? I don't see USC rehiring Sarkisian (or Kiffin, for that matter). I also don't see Kiffin ever coaching Texas A&M. It's not a good fit. Texas would be a much better fit for Kiffin, in my opinion.
^ This. Florida can pay well and they recruit well but that program is a dumpster fire. Their players have a history of intentionally tanking seasons when they get mad at the coach, and the fanbase is irrational.
I think you're right on Napier and Pittman. I think if Beamer gets them into a bowl, he stays. That being said, they have a tough schedule (LSU, Alabama, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Missouri, and Clemson), so they would have to beat a couple of teams they're not supposed to.
If one of the really big programs is open, he’s going to try to get that job. But there’s very few of those. Same issue Dan Mullen had.
He signed an extension prior to last season and is under contract thru 2029. He's not going anywhere for a few more years.

Loaferz having to hire Kiffin after Coinz hired Freeze is a twisted form of justice
Going to have to prove it to me. Yeah there's more money and more shuffling, but I'm not convinced anything out of the ordinary is going to happen besides more parity, which is a good thing.
No. You can’t. Their boosters can’t compete with Texas, A&M, UGA, Bama, Michigan, Ohio St etc. if anything their chances were probably better in the Freeze years when they could take bigger risks in blatantly cheating thsn a lot of the bigger schools did. But now that it’s all legal, their ceiling is a playoff appearance.
Yep its all relative. Nil frees up ole miss to spend, but they are a little fish compared to the big boys
A lot of it depends on intent. Just because everybody CAN outspend such and such theoretically, doesn't mean they absolutely will. Ole Miss is willing to do it. There's only so much talent, therefore only so much that the market commands.
There's a large enough talent pool that the top 10 recruiting classes will see increased parity. I know things like endowment and athletic budget as well as alumni net worth are still a long way apart, but they can sneak in the playoff and be a dark horse and eventually win it.
At this point he has 100% buy in from OM and can basically do whatever he wants. He’s also on a lot of school’s “Never Hire” lists so unfortunately I see him being at OM for the foreseeable future.
The harder we suck the better their chances get because they will get a whole state to pick their talent from. We need to get our **** together.
