hikerdns 52 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 How interested would a school like Florida be in Gus? Would Malzahn success as OC be enough, or would they want someone with Head Coaching experience too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikerdns 52 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Maybe a more likely scenario: Mullen to Florida and then Malzahn to MSU? or is MSU a little too close to Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 20,542 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Most likely, Mullen to FU, someone else to MSU. Malzahn holds out for a job where you don't have to fight through LSU, Auburn, Alabama and Arkansas just for a chance to outfight Florida, Tennessee, Georgia or South Carolina to win a title.

Mikey 16,777 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Wont happen. Usually I don't care much for metafour's curt replies, but there are so many reasons why this won't happen that "won't happen" is all that needs to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I dunno, the Malzahn to Florida thought scares the crap out of me. Florida isn't hiring a dude who is 5 years removed from being a HS coach. Malzahn is a terrific offensive coordinator; but Mullen brings a comparable package and has already proven he can: A ) Be a winning coach in the SEC. B ) Recruit (he is cleaning Nutt's clock).

hikerdns 52 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 I agree Gus would hold out for something else. But would a high profile school like Florida consider him? Though naive, I hope he sticks around for 5 or so total years. Just wishing. **Edit: Just saw your reply metafour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think Florida is going to hand the reins of one of the Top 5 jobs in the country to a coordinator with 3 years of SEC experience when guys like Dan Mullen, Chip Kelly and Chris Petersen are out there with head coaching experience?

aujon09 0 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Do you think CGM would leave for MSU with all the crap that has happened this past year between AU and MSU,and on top of that the possible crap that might come down on the program? He has seen all this first hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCWarEagle 0 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'd be really surprised if Malzahn got an offer from Florida. UF is one of the top 5-10 jobs in the country, they will go after someone with HC experience (unless they were promoting one of their own coordinators, which will obviously not be the case here). Some of the names others have mentioned (Mullen, Peterson, etc) seem most likely. I do think that there is a chance that Malzahn would get the spot vacated by the new Florida guy. As I said in a couple of other threads, I really think Gus is gone, I just hope he stays on through the BCS game (and I think he will). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Add to that how hard it is to recruit well enough to fight past LSU, Auburn, Alabama and Arkansas in their own division and then deal with Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and S. Carolina in the other. Gus will get a better opportunity than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has seen all this first hand. MSU is a training program for a legitimate upper-tier head coach (ie: a top coach isn't going to stick around there). I think Malzahn would be smart enough to go to a place like West Virginia where the purpose would be the same (to audition for a legitimate program) but the job would be considerably easier. Malzahn could run a train through the Big East at a program like WVU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn_eagle34 0 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Florida won't hire Malzahn. I think you could see Mullen go to UF though, which would leave Miami still scrambling for a coach, and they might go after Malzahn if they exhaust all other options. I think West Virginia could be a real possibility too. I think Malzahn is too smart to go to Vandy or MSU (especially with our little situation going on with MSU).

aucanucktiger 1,805 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 True, Mullen would be perfect for UF. Look @ their coaches over the last 35 years. Urban meyer's 27 player arrests is actually better than the less publicized spurrier player rap sheet. Spurrier was preceded by Galen Hall (huge and plentiful NCAA violations) who was preceded by Charlie Pell (had the only team to ever actually be stripped of an SEC title). Since the facts (shhh, don't tell the media) point to Miss. State under Mullen being ground zero for ongoing NCAA and FBI investigation, he's PERFECT for UF.

I dunno, the Malzahn to Florida thought scares the crap out of me. No reason for UF to hire a coach with no HC experience at the FBS level. The Zook hire will ensure that no more OJT takes place in Gainesville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiescottie 1 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I see CGM heading to an ACC school when the time is right. Personally I think it would be in his best interest to spend another year learning how to 'manage' a top program. I have NO IDEA who Pittsburgh has in mind but if I were them I'd be interested.

tgr4lfe 220 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 With just finishing what his 5th or 6th year as an OC at the college level, I'm not so sure CGM is ready to make that jump yet. I don't see a major program bringing in a guy with that little of OC experience to be a HC. I might get proven wrong and he might be a great manager, but as far as collegiate experience, it just seems he needs a few more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiematt 0 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'm thinking either Chizik or Mullen to Florida. Chizik is Florida Alum, so I wouldn't doubt it one bit if he leaves. If Chizik leaves, I bet Malzahn takes his place at Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,389 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 If Chizik leaves, I bet Malzahn takes his place at Auburn. That was my assumption. Or get Tubs back. I don't see either scenario playing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
