I don't see any obvious hires out there, nor anyone who would leave their HC spot.  

I don't want a coordinator.  The only HC out there that interests me is Riley, but he's at a helmet and I wouldn't want him without some sort of extra confidence in who'd be coordinating the defense.  

Florida should have a "holy sh*t" hire, but I don't see it out there.

Florida's last 5 HCs:
.694 Mullen
.647 McElwain
.571 Muschamp
.813 Meyer
.622 Zook

Looks like it's pretty easy to win 65% of your games at Florida.  But to win 80+ percent, IE - "the guy" - it takes someone special.
Meyer and Spurrier remain the only two.

I'm glad we're not settling for relative mediocrity.  65% buys you a decade at a Missouri or an Arkansas, and it probbly gets you a statue at other places, but Florida is Florida.  We should be winning the East a third to half the time, and winning the SEC occasionally.  

Instead of FSU and Miami, we've now got Alabama, Clemson, and Georgia battling for FL's top talent.

Urban, Spurrier, Mel Tucker, Jimbo, an NFL coach that gets the ax?

Urban is a "holy crap" hire, though if you compare to when Florida originally hired him then Fickell compares pretty favorably.

Brady Hoke, and a lot of guys, are kind of interesting because you could see him still being at Michigan if he hired a good offensive coordinator instead of Al Borges

That's why I'd have waited,1 more season my belief was he could rebound.If not then at least you don't have LSU/USC looking for the same guy.Unless they already have a handshake behind the scenes on an up and comer

I'd rank the jobs like this....

1) Florida - most talent rich state, close to GA & Carolinas which also have tons of talent, great fan support, stadium, facilities, environment, campus, etc.., plus they play in SEC E -the easier of the two divisions at the moment. drawbacks: other big-time programs in the state in Miami & FSU- so can't lock-up all that talent.

2) LSU - tons of in-state talent and no other game in town, close to talent rich FL & TX as well. great fan support, stadium, facilities, environment, campus, etc.., drawbacks: have to play Bama in the West. Somewhat unrealistic fan expectations.

3) USC - this job sucks, imo.
I’d take LSU over UF. Better proximity to talent, better brand value in-state in a place that’s less trafficked

Mullen's buyout is $12 million and would've been lessened had Florida made the decision after the 2022 season.

Mullen's buyout figure ranks No. 8 in the SEC.

Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin and Mullen agreed to the buyout numbers upon signing, and the total was not altered after the Florida coach agreed to a three-year contract extension with a raise during the offseason after the Gators won the SEC East last fall.

Not sure that’s true. His buyout was a flat $12 mil, or what was left on the deal, which only fell below that with one year left on the deal. And almost no one coaches with only two years left
