"IF..."

Alright:
"IF..." we are gonna "go there" at all in the FIRST place, "there" being the assumed starting point of general widespread deep dissatisfaction with who we are, WHERE we are as an assumed SEC "POWERHOUSE"--Hell, ALL assumptions and impressions of where we're at and where we're GOING--then perhaps it is time to honestly face our own frank appraisal of our true IMAGE:
Upon looking in the mirror,
WHAT DO WE SEE???
More to the immediate point, who or WHAT do we deserve to EXPECT in the way of an "ELITE COACH"? ARE WE TRULY AN "ELITETEAM"?
AN "ELITE PROGRM"?
Or to put it another WAY, are we still, was "Florida Football Coach" EVER, an "ELITE JOB"?
Which brings us to the public discussion-at-hand:
Removing all supposed current restrictions then, in considering who we are to consider as our "current best option" as the NEXT Head Coach of Florida Football, leaving all possibilities "on the table", "NO STONE UNTURNED", as they say,
WHO WOULD ANY OF YOU CHOOSE?
Never mind any effort to be "right" or "fair --
YOU are EMPEROR OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL and handed the inescaoeable responsibility of CHOOSING the next UF HEAD COACH...You can pick (and HAVE) ANYONE.
WHO WOULD IT BE? Anyone alive.
We can discuss "reasons, rumors and limitations" later...For THIS little "fantasy exercise" each participant is for the for the moment "limitlessly
EMPOWERED"--I ask you to make your choice, then proceed to (at least to some extent) support it.
There. Have at it.
(I expect it to be somewhat more difficult, even humbling, than one's "first gut level reaction" might have felt. There are a few obvious ones that are easy to CHOOSE but less and less likely to actually HAPPEN, the more one considers them...then progressively more "creative-but-unlikely" ones that fall into "nice idea but less and less doable"...I look forward to them all--if ANYONE will in fact t give this challenge an honest, full-on "in good faith TRY"!)
Guess we'll SEE.

Under the old system, Florida is still considered elite. Florida is still in the top 10 in many categories including all-time wins, wins since 1990, players in the NFL, total revenue, number of NIL contracts issued, overall talent level, et cetera. That may change as we enter a new era of football and people stop counting records since 1990.

What will it take for Florida to remain relevant in the new era? The answer is to fully embrace the new era where college football is a semi-pro sport that can be separated from the other 18 varsity sports. Hire a general manager (like Alabama) to manage college football as an independent sport that licenses the Florida Gator logo from the University of Florida (new idea) and is managed by a corporate board (new idea) composed of Florida alumni (like the Gator Collective). Under this construct, the head coach just focuses on coaching. The GM focuses on talent acquisition and roster management. Neither the coach nor the GM manage non-football operations. Let the coaches coach. Let the recruiters recruit. This is basically how the NFL does it.
