"Helluva football coach and after beating USF he should be shooting up people's lists." Thanks for the input Ryan Silverfield's agent.

You guys seem to like this, so I'll keep posting them. Remember, these are just opinions of people in the coaching/agent industry. Like most people, they're trying to get their arms around this crazy season. -One source felt like LSU would have a slightly better chance to land Lane Kiffin than Florida. They felt like it was a better fit because, in their words, he'd have more control of the program in Baton Rouge. But he didn't rule UF out and thought other factors would be in play, one being simply, where he wants to live. Another person I spoke with said this: "Lane wants to win a national championship and he can do it at both Florida and LSU. I don't know if he can do it at Ole Miss." -Where should UF turn if it can't get Lane? Of the people I spoke with Sunday, none thought Key or Drinkwitz would be good fits at UF. One actually suggested UF should try to make things work with Lincoln Riley. "Good coach, not working at USC, probably wants out." When I noted that it's hard to not win at USC, they responded, "Just think he's a better for for the south" without elaborating. He felt like Riley's offenses would be something UF fans would like. A prominent UF booster responded to this by saying, "Nobody wants Reilly." With Key, one gave a lot of credit to the team's success to OC Buster Faulkner. -If/when Auburn opens, Drinkwitz "absolutely" would be interested, one industry source thought. There are some in the industry who think he's eyeing that one more than UF. That could be due to his familiarity with that program, since he worked there before. One also thought Penn State could become a realistic option for Drink. -One agent said more teams, including UF, should take a closer look at Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield. "Helluva football coach and after beating USF he should be shooting up people's lists." Silverfield is 45. He's 49–22 at Memphis -- 28-6 since 2023. A Jacksonville native who played at Bolles. The agent who brought him up does not work for an agency that represents him. -Heard some mention of Gus Malzahn being a possible candidate for UAB. Might be his last chance to be a head coach again. -Agents are scrambling: "This is the craziest carousel we've seen in a long time."

You didn't read the whole note did you? o_O

Any idea what they mean by "more control of the program"? I feel like Kiffin is going to demand that anywhere he goes.

Keith, I feel like Brohm talk is sort of dying down. Any reason? Or just it’s a long process and we’ve discussed him a lot already.
