#8 UCF [10-0] @ Tampa
As much as Dan Mullen is high on the above list, I think the odds are skewed only because he was the former OC there.
I would be shocked if he actually would take the job if offered. Money won't be much different.
Mullen's wife did not have a good experience in Gainesville before, Mullen did not have [list=][/list]many friends within the AD.
Frost is probably the more likely number one candidate/target for UF.
Young, dynamic, and UF has all of the variables he could be seeking (tradition, recruiting base, deep pockets, Florida lifestyle).
What works against UF is the turmoil there over the past 8 years, the unforgiving fanbase, championship expectations every year.
If Frost decides if the time is right, I would wager the job will be there for him before anyone else.
If he is ready to deal with the full package at UF both good and bad, it could be a great job for the right coach.
There is a dark side though.
Even the Lord of football at UF (Spurrier) tired of the coaches role after 11 years in part because of the fanbase expectations. Winning there was no longer good enough, winning by lots of points every game and winning championships became the expectations, and any lesser results became critical failures.
Hope Frost decides what is best for him and his family.
Hope he stays at UCF for at least one more year. If everything stays on course here in the steamroller fashion of this year and into next ..... he has a chance to possibly approach historical accomplishments in the David Vs Goliath realm as far as P5/G5 are concerned.

Basketball is driven by three principles:
1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

If UCF wins out it looks like a Fiesta Bowl bid is probable. Perhaps agains the P-12 champion.
Not a bad outcome for the season.

44612 Charlie Strong +2000

44615 Urban Meyer +20000
44616 Steve Spurrier +20000
44617 Tim Tebow +30000
I think Mullen stays at Miss St. Stoops isn't coming out of retirement, neither is Spurrier. Meyer is not leaving Ohio St. Gundy isn't leaving Ok St either. They'll be looking for an Offensive minded HC, so that takes out Strong and Shannon.
So that leaves, Frost, Norvell, Campbell, Brohm, Morris, Taggert, and Babers.
Frost, Campbell, Morris and Taggert would be the favorites IMO. It would be very bad for Jimbo Fisher and FSU if they got Taggert. That guy can flat out recruit.

I'm hopeful we can somehow wind up in the Peach Bowl. Would be easier for fans to travel to Atlanta. Gotta take care of business first, though.

Winning out will guarantee one of the New Year's 6 bowls.

Vegas knows nothing. Dude is about to have a baby and in the middle of a season, he's not talking to anyone about moving at the moment. They're probably just going based off rumors that he will be UF's top target, but I honestly don't see him going there regardless. If he's going to leave, it'll be for Nebraska.

He has to leave sometime soon. You can't stay at a step-stool program forever.

forever? he's not even 2 years in, lol. I fully expect him to be gone by 2020. But it's unlikely he'd jump ship THIS fast, and if he were going to do so, it wouldn't be for Florida, it'd be for Nebraska.

Less then 500 tickets left against the team from the west. There will be a very profitable resale market for this game.

I'm in section 213, my section has tickets online for 130-200 each.
Sell all four of my seats and pay for most of the season. Hmmmm....

I sold my tickets to one game this year and paid for half of my season tickets. Nice surprise.

He also will have a less then 1 month old baby at home. Soon might not equal this year.
