Five coaches (in order of value) Florida should consider if/when it moves on from Billy Napier.
1. Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss: The stronger Ole Miss becomes, the less chance anyone has of hiring him.
2. Jedd Fisch, Washington: Would he leave Seattle for his alma mater after one season?
3. Eli Drinkwitz, Missouri: If Tigers reach the College Football Playoff, it will be difficult to convince Drinkwitz to leave.
4. Bobby Slowik, Houston Texans offensive coordinator: He’s 37, he’s a brilliant offensive mind/quarterback coach, and five-star freshman quarterback DJ Lagway needs a reason to stay.
5. Lance Leipold, Kansas: The program builder (and NCAA lower division championship coach) would finally get his blueblood job.
