    So, it's more important to look good than win?

    Saban and Miles have enjoyed winning this way for a long time with their superior talent.

    Didn't Foley say the fans wanted an offensive minded coach? I don't think he had "Grind it out" football in mind. Of course wins are what look good, but I get the sense Florida fans would prefer the Fun and Gun.

    Agree. He is the PERFECT fit at Arkansas. I doubt he's leaving. They are going to be hell to deal with next year and then beyond.

    Fla is not about to hire a guy that lost his 1st 14 SEC games- I promise you that

    UF isn't hiring a guy that runs a pro-style offense, either...

    So they would rather hire a Big 12 coach that's having a bad season like Gundy?

    its seems as though it's Chip Kelly or bust then.

    Would you rather have Bielema or Freeze coaching your team? I think Bielema is twice the coach.

    He's won 9+ games five of the last six years, the other being 8 wins. He's an OK State alum, so he may prefer to stay there, but if T. Boone is riding him hard he might listen.

    One losing season (as is likely this year) in 9 years at OK State isn't bad. Oklahoma, Texas and aTm get the cream of the crop out there and now TCU and Baylor are probably getting a few guys that would have gone to OK State.

    That said, I'd go after Stoops first, then look at Gundy and Jim McElwain.

    Bielema is 1-13 as an SEC coach. He has no chance

    Your are likely correct, but that's short sighted IMO and truly a conducive process to finding the best coach.

    I don't think they were terribly impressed with their new OC this year who was mentored and groomed by Coach Cutcliffe.
