Please not. No more fired UF coaches.

I hear you. I think him leaving was going to happen and folks are assuming he was fired ... and of course, every college football coach has been fired many many times. I would caution against looking too hard at one game.

 
Well Tom Herman is available! I tell you, I don't like him, but Texas has turned into one of the worst jobs in college football.

I digress - Gray and Mason please!!!!

“One coaching candidate for Mullen could be former UF defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson (2011-14), who spent the past five seasons as South Carolina’s defensive coordinator.”

Now that would be ironic.

After seeing our defense the last few years, why would anyone want any coach associated with it?

TRob can recruit. And maybe he is a good position coach when he doesn’t have to run the whole defense?

Or when he doesn't have a micro managing HC. It appears that Chump ran things with an iron fist.

 
I'm thinking we might see an uptick of chatter and scuttlebutt today.

Perhaps announcements tomorrow?

 
LSU has identified some early top targets as it goes through the process of finding a new defensive coordinator.

According to sources, one of the early names of interest is a current coordinator at a different SEC school: Arkansas DC Barry Odom.

Those sources said LSU head coach Ed Orgeron is a well-known fan of Odom, who just completed his first season with the Razorbacks after four seasons as the head coach at Missouri.

Odom, who is reportedly the nation’s 13th highest paid assistant coach with a $1.3 million annual salary, helped Arkansas win three games this year after winning just one SEC game total during the previous three seasons combined.

Other early targets for the LSU defensive coordinator job include, per sources: Cincinnati defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman, Wisconsin defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, former Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys defensive play-caller Kris Richard and at least one other coach.

I still think everyone is waiting on Coach O to make his decision before committing to another school.

I don't know if this is even applicable in our case, but it does beg the question...would/should you as a hiring manager wait for someone wanting to hear about another position---knowing that you would just be a fall-back position?  At this point, I'm really lukewarm about hiring someone that wanted to go elsewhere and didn't get the offer they wanted. It seems like that is someone that will simply bolt at the first opportunity.  Again, I have no idea if any of Beamer's candidates are in discussions with other schools.  I'm not naïve enough to believe that SC is the dream location for everyone, and for most it's simply a job and an opportunity to get a pay raise/work in a more "secure" environment/work for a "better" boss, etc..., but it would be nice if SC was the first choice for the people being considered.

Are there any candidates still being considered that are on either Ohio State or Alabama?  I'm not aware of any, so one would hope announcements are coming soon.

By the way, patience is not one of my new year's resolutions.

I think the answer depends on the normal turnover for the position. For instance, when I hire someone to a position with rare turnover (once every decade), I want nothing to do with someone waiting for an offer elsewhere. When I am hiring for a position with a lot of turnover (once every 2-3 years), I just want the best person for the job since I'm going to be replacing them soon anyway. Any DC that is worth a damn will be gone in 3-5 years, so I'm fine with being a fall back.

Solid reasoning. If we lose a DC because he did a good job I am fine with that. Would be a welcome change.
