FSU vs UF again? I'm told Gators DC Dan Quinn & Noles OC James Coley both in mix for FIU job.

[ChocolateShoulders]

FIU can have Coley, Quinn could do much better if he was offered a HC job

FWIW, looks like BUTCH DAVIS doesn't want FIU...

Sources high in FIU’s administration told The Miami Herald the school had been informed that former University of Miami coach Butch Davis did not want FIU’s head football coach job.

Nah man, come on. Stay until we win a championship then go.

[law98gator]

If he stays a year, his next offer will be a real job.

[Gatorbythebay]

Maybe he just saw how many people got raises off of UT and thought he would try the same tactic?

[StreetFightingGator]

Quinn would be a fool to take that job. It's a one-way ticket to nowhere. No tradition, barely any facilities, and can only get the Big 3's crumbs. If he stays and we win a NC then there's no reason that he couldn't be like Dan Mullen or at the very least like Charlie Strong.

I know some coaches think it's better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven but if Quinn is seriously considering that job, I truly hope Champ can talk some sense into him.

You don't go from the NFL to FIU. Besides Pete Garcia is a scumbag. Coach Quinn would not work for this piece of garbage. If we lose Coach Quinn it wont be to FIU.

[Sasquatch Gator]

Methinks he's going for a raise.

Dayum!! I didn't know Mario Cristobal got canned til now. I guess my focus was on watching the Vols fans having epic meltdowns for the past 2 weeks.

Very true.

Quinn would do himself a favor and stay at UF for another 2-4 years. He has TWO years experience in ANY JOB at the D1 level....both at UF. He needs to learn a little more about the in's & out's of coaching at the D1 level. Sure, it's not rocket science....but look at the coaches who have had a shlt-ton of experience and the D1 level...including MAC and smaller D1 jobs who have failed. Being a good DC for 2 years at UF does not necessarily qualify him for a head coaching job - right now. 2+ more years of seeing how it's run under Muschamp will do him wonders.

I'm less worried about losing Quinn to FIU and more concerned with what possesses a person to have a Hall and Oates avatar.

Didn't Isiah Thomas go from NBA star to coach to GM to.....FIU??

[GatorTAG]

I'm more worried about Quinn getting and DC job in the NFL. There are going to be many coaching staff changes in a few weeks.

Seriously, who doesn't like hall and oates?

Well said. It may very well be the worst job in the country. Not only are the facilities, fan support and economics crappy, but they have an AD that gets along with nobody and is a proven scum bag. That job is a career-ender.

Who ho here she comes she's a man eater. Born in 60 and growing up in the 70's and 80's you heard a lot of Hall and Oates. Hall has a show on some channel where he has musical guest on each show...it's pretty game good show. I think it's called at Daryl's.
