Florida would have sacked Bimbo Fleecer 4 seasons ago.
He may leave at some point- and I totally think he would for Florida. But dont be surprised if he ends up being their Mullen and stays 8-9 yearsQuote:

Yes it would.Quote:

Would love Leipold but that won't clear up until MI St makes their choice.
This. But with sexton repping him he will be the highest paid 7-9 win coach in the nation.Quote:

Can any of his fans fill me in on why they're so high on him? Yeah he's put together a nice team at Kansas but 1 decent year doesn't justify the faith I see people have in him
Kansas hasn't won more than 3 games since 2009, they won 5 games that season. He won 6 in his second season and 7 already this season. That's a really good job and not the first time he's turned around a program.Quote:

Leipold would be a home ****ing run. He's a great coach, and not only has he done it at every level, he's done it in different regions.
He's kinda like jans, a guy that has won at every level and built programs at every level.Quote:

MSU is looking at guys who know how to win. Their top 3 based on reports:
Lance Leipold 161-58
Jamey Chadwell 108-57
Willie Fritz 205-115
All three have history of building programs. Lance Leipold took over two moribund programs in Buffalo and Kansas and resurrected both. Jamey Chadwell built the Charleston Southern program and the Coastal Carolina program as it was transitioning to FBS. Fritz has built multiple programs. JUCO national championship at Blinn. Central Missouri. Sam Houston State. Tulane.
I'd be good with any of thoseQuote:

Main reason I think it's definitely not Chadwell. Those things never work out. He was leaked as the top candidate like instantly. That means it's not gonna be him.Quote:

We're in good shape guys. Hold fast.
We are at the stand by to stand by stage.Quote:

Not really. With 50 million in the buyout fund, find a sure winner and do it. This is a crucial hire.Quote:

Looking at the scale this morning, I wouldn't classify it as good and probably should fast for as long as possible.....Quote:
