I'd go after Don Brown myself but thats just me
I think he's one of the top 3 DC's in all of college football. BUT....he is 63 years old and he hasn't been a head coach in about 10 years when he was the head coach of an FCS UMass team. I'd bet that Don Brown stays at Michigan until he retires. Seems to love it there, he'll be 64 next year. It'd have to be a cushy job. Don't see him leaving to try and rebuild a dumpster fire. Not sure he has the energy required to do that kind of heavy lifting and he doesn't seem like he's that big of a recruiter. DJ Durkin who was 38 when he left Michigan was the perfect sort of young up and comer to take on a reclamation project. Don is a little long in the tooth.

But hey anybody can have Tim Drevno in they want them. Anybody. Come and take him. Please.

From 0-12 the year before he got there to 11-0 in his 2nd year.
I am praying he goes back home to Nebraska. Would be an amazing story line to see him revive that program, and he'd be the 3rd B1G coach to coach the team he played QB for- joining Harbaugh at M and Chryst at Wisconsin.

UF demands of Frost: points that = wins
UN demands of Frost: come home and do what you do.

point being, his leash will be hellaciously shorter at Florida i'd wager, where Nebraska is likely to offer time to do what he has done down south.  He's bound to know that and that has to weigh heavy in his decision.  at UF he's up against schools, yeah- but he's more importantly up against fans that are a lot more unforgiving.  When he made his choice to coach, he likely dreamed of returning home... so long as there isn't a huge difference in $$$, i wager he heads home.  

and leach is exactly the type of coach i could see on the UF sideline... he fits their culture.  
UF is a great job and a horrible job
double edged and razor sharp

think you can say that about most great jobs. The expectations and pressure are going to be insane at any top job.

Florida had two truly great coaches in Spurrier and Meyer and were incredibly successful with both. Every other coach they've had in between and after has been pretty lousy. Ron Zook? Will Muschamp? Jim McElwain? Whole bunch of meh.

No job recruits or coaches itself. Texas, USC, Florida- have all stunk without the right guy at the helm.

should Florida miss out on Kelly and Frost, where do they turn next? Dan Mullen? Greg Schiano? Les Miles? Mike Leach?

so Yahoo Sports and USA Today both reporting Kelly turned down Florida.

SEC blogging/news site Saturday Down South reporting Frost a "done deal" to Nebraska. The source is Lars Anderson, a senior writer at Bleacher Report, who worked at Sports Illustrated for 20 years, is a journalism professor at Alabama, and is a NYT best selling author. I don't think he's making it up- my guess is someone really close to the situation has told him something about Frost and Nebraska already having a deal in place.

A couple places are saying UT and Chris Petersen... that's not a bad choice.  @jacdaniels posted it on the UT board, and there have been several articles on the web today saying same.

honestly- I think the expectations and pressure are probably worse at Ohio State. Look at Ohio State's yearly record from 1995 to 2017. Probably isn't a better P5 team in the entire country in terms of W-L's.

11-2, 11-1, 10-3, 11-1, 6-6, 8-4, 7-5, 14-0, 11-2, 8-4, 10-2, 12-1, 11-2, 10-3, 11-2, 12-1, 6-7, 12-0, 12-2, 14-1, 12-1, 11-2, 9-2. 

Meyer has caught insane amount of shit from Ohio State fans because he's not undefeated every year. You don't think the pressure there is just as insane if not more than Florida?

Zook, Muschamp, and McElwain didn't get fired because of the insane expectations. They got fired because they were just bad coaches. Zook couldn't get over 8 wins. He was a mediocre coach every other stop he's been. Muschamp had a flukish season going 11-2 but his other 3 years were just bad. Similar to Brady Hoke who had a fluke 11-2 season and his other 3 years were bad. McElwain came in at the worst the SEC East has ever been and every year the thing was regressing- not progressing- and his offenses were downright terrible for a supposed offensive "expert". They really had to make a change. I give the UF AD credit for not sticking with a poor coach and realizing hey we need to do something about this.

it turns out his buyout is only (only, right?) $1.5M... it's also been reported his agent approached UT, not UT approaching him... that adds a curve ball to it, no?  (obviously, if true) .. 

his style would fit nicely with UT.
