Florida’s next coach? Fans weigh in on the Gators next head coach

Dan Mullen was fired on Sunday, and it didn’t take long for fans and media to zero in on a specific candidate: Lane Kiffin of Ole Miss.

While several names were mentioned, including former Oklahoma coach and Florida defensive coordinator Bob Stoops, Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell and Louisiana coach Billy Napier

Kiffin has Ole Mis at 9-2 following a 31-17 win over Vanderbilt. Florida fans are calling him to return to the Sunshine State after his stint as coach of Florida Atlantic.

Here’s a sampling of the reaction:

Kiffin to Florida about to heat up.

“Lane Kiffin is just Dan Mullen with a better Twitter.” For all the Florida fans wanting Kiffen. My buddy took words out of my mouth. If you didn’t like Mullen what makes you think you’re gonna like Kiffen?

Do you think Florida wouldn’t have fired Molen unless they already had their guy? Is that guy Kiffin?

The Lane Kiffin to Florida stuff is a waste of time. Keep him away from my program. Way better options.

Boy, after Florida lost to Kentucky, they flat-out nose-dived. They should go after Kiffin, he has that Spurrier swagger.

You gotta admit
Most Vol fans hate Florida and their Coach.
Florida with Spurrier
Florida with Urban
Florida with Muschamp
Volnation sorta liked Mullen
Florida with Kiffin makes sense
Kiffin hatred will surpass Spurrier

Everybody saying Kiffin to LSU or Florida. He’s going to Virginia Tech
