Seems like Florida has moved onto other candidates as the insiders on this forum suggested
quote:


Fisch is a Florida alum and coached briefly for the Gators under his football mentor, Steve Spurrier. Fisch has coached extensively as an offensive assistant in the NFL and college ranks. He took the Arizona head coaching job ahead of the 2021 season and saw the Wildcats climb from 1-11 to 5-7 to 10-3 in his three seasons there. Fisch is now in his second season at Washiington, where the Huskies have gone 6-7 and 7-3 in his two seasons.
Fisch holds just a 30-32 career record (he was 1-1 as an interim coach at UCLA in 2017). But he led Arizona to its first 10-win season since 2014 and a final No. 11 ranking that was the program's best year-end mark since 1998.

quote:

The Gators are in a six-year run of not winning more than eight games in any season. While Dan Mullen and Jim McElwain each had big seasons, neither could continue an upward trajectory. Florida hasn't won an SEC title or made a top-five finish since Urban Meyer's days late in the decade of the 2000s. Fisch might be the next man to try and bring Florida back to its championship glory days.

Feel like sports illustrated isn’t very insightful anymore or am I wrong?

I like him. Besides the Non-SEC experience.

I mean…. If LSU had a current HC alumni that is offensive minded elsewhere I’d be down with that.

Drink is not going to Florida. Go get Kliff or Eric Morris. Find a young offensive guru.

Billy killed any chance we’ll look at a g5 guy unless we get really far down the list
