You know what's amazing? The Dynamic Delta Duo has managed to hire in a way such that the current staff is so underwhelming that there is not anybody who could serve as an interim head coach. Allow me to say that one more time, at the University of Florida we do not currently have ONE person on staff that is qualified to serve as an interim head football coach. That is unfathomable especially since one of the selling points was that CWT insisted on have the biggest budget in the country for assistants and staffers and was going to hire an "army."
Seriously though how is it possible that we do not have one guy on staff that would remotely qualify for even a coordinator job at a comparable program? Ron Robinson is probably the closest thing we've got and he just got fired by his buddy. Titties McJiggles was headed to Alabama to be a position coach as part of a 5-10 year plan to be a coordinator someday and Sale (the OC in name only) is one of 2 offensive line coaches for a terrible position group. Then we've got Will Harris with his 1 year of being in charge of a Power 5 position group. Just for reference the guy who hired him to be a position coach just became the DC for the Falcons and in assembling his staff there has been nary a mention of Will the Thrill coming back to the NFL as even an assistant position coach. Spencer has exactly 1 year of Power 5 experience as a position group and that was for the 1 win Colorado Buffalos of 2022. After that his gigs include the Interim Spring Defensive line coach for LSU (I shit you not that was his job title) and then returning to Tulane where he was the Spring Defensive Line Coach (not even interim, they were gonna keep him on for the Fall and everything!) in 2022 before going off to spearhead the Buffalos Defense that delivered that one win season. Unfinished business if you will. These are real people and actually have these jobs at UF. That's a deal there man. Right?
Hilarity aside, here's my dream scenario: since we have no interim head coaching candidate in an ideal world you could get someone to come in and take over temporarily, it would make sense for that someone to live in Gainesville, and he could easily handle the coaching search and then maybe shift into the AD role as well or at least oversee football operations. It would be nice if there was a statue of him outside the Swamp.
