If Florida offers I doubt he turns it down



Why would he go to Florida for roughly the same money.

$4M and job security at OM > $4.3ishM at Florida and starting anew

Can somebody explain why would he think twice about this?


Better talent pool, better tradition, less competition, and more money at florida. ole miss is a stepping stone job. Florida is a destination job.


















unless you're urban meyer.

Look at his best recruiting class back in 2013.
8th in the country, but only because 6 of his top 10 recruits were from out of state.
14 out of 25 all together.

Mississippi just doesn't have the instate talent to win NCs, and he won't be able to steal as many kids away like he did in 2013 every year.

He could have easily won 11 games in his 3rd year as coach. He has improved each year he has been at Ole Miss so I don't see any reason why he won't make us better than this season. If we can find a stable quarterback for next season, we'll be even better than we were this year.


Oh he can build a decent program out of Ole Miss because Mississippi itself has decent talent and some can be plucked from neighbors like Louisiana and Alabama, but if he went to UF, hs could kill it in recruiting. He can coach up a good offense and UF is known for their elite athletes. He could also use his ties in Mississippi to pluck top talent like Meyer does with Florida.

Actually Hugh Freeze is the perfect man for the UF job, but I wonder will they spend the money to get him? I would love for LSU to toss the bank when Miles decides to retire in 5-6 years.

Saying all thay, I'd rather he stay at Ole Miss right now for the sake of LSU. We already play Bama every year, and in the right hands, Florida could be just as good. Ole Miss, at least at the moment, is a lot more easy to handle.

He's gonna stay at ole miss..

Bjork would start a damn fund me before he let Florida out bid us for Freeze . Plus Bjork gives freeze more control than Florida. And expectations aren't as high at Ole Miss so having a bad season won't kill his job security.
