Fat Chance.
Y'all are probably going to get Mullen and Tubberville is rumored on Twitter (via MSU) to go to MSU.
I know.
I was just trying to be funny.
Gene is a great fit at Auburn, and there is no reason for him to move.
I wouldn't hate Mullen, but he ought to stay where he is too.
How ironic is it that Urban's last game is against JoePa and Penn State in the Outback Bowl? I'd like to listen in on that pre-game meeting between the two coaches...
JoePa: So, I hear today's your last day coaching.
Meyer: Yep. A 25 year career is just too much stress for one man to take.
JoePa: 25 years!!! (chuckle...) That's not a career....that's an Internship!
True.
Urban and Joe are going to be in Tampa today to promote the Outback Bowl.
I heard on the radio today that if Joe had retired at Urban's age, it would have been in 1972!
Urban is still a young man. I think he will take a few years to spend with his family, and then I would expect to see him on a sideline somewhere.
Dude, seriously? Chizik?
If you want someone from THAT program, you want Gus Malzahn. He's the true mastermind that has been the driving force for Auburn's success ( I mean other than Newton ). Besides, he may be dying to jump ship on a high note since they won't have near the offensive production next year once Cam takes the money and runs.
No, not seriously.
Just joking around.
But, I did hear Chizik's name mentioned by one of the local sports jocks. Chizik grew up in Clearwater (the next city south of mine), and he has family here. I also heard Spurrier's name mentioned, and someone said that they saw Florida AD Foley deep in conversation with the Old Ball Coach after the UF/SC game.
I also heard Malzahn's name mentioned, but the conventional wisdom around Gator Nation seems to be that Florida is not going to hire someone who has not been a head coach somewhere. They made that mistake with the Zooker, and I don't think they want a repeat of that. They will be looking for a proven head coach. There are a lot out there. They stole Urban from Utah. I am hearing Boise's and Stanford's coaches are in the crosshairs.
I know Florida will hire quality coach, so no worries for me.
