Replacing Charlie Weis: Who's The Next Florida Gators Offensive Coordinator?

PrintNow that Charlie Weis has left the Florida Gators and taken up the position as head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks, the Gators are going to need to act fast to hire a new offensive coordinator if they want to keep the recruiting impact to a minimum. This time of year isn't really the best when it comes to the quality of candidates available, though, as most of the top-tier coaches have already committed elsewhere.
Florida's nearly $100 million athletic budget can definitely enter late in the game and be successful on the coaching carousel, though. Will Muschamp has said that Florida will run a pro-style offense after Weis, and hire someone that has a similar philosophy.
Even though the Gators struggled this season, and are losing a lot of players on offense to graduation, the Gators still have plenty of talent left. And barring a major impact on recruiting, the next offensive coordinator will have plenty of options to work with. But who are those candidates to become Florida's next offensive coordinator? After the jump, we'll explore some of the early names that have came up.
Jedd Fisch, Miami offensive coordinator
It's well known that Muschamp covets two things: A pro-style offense and NFL experience. Fisch, who is just 34 years old, brings both of those things to the table. Before heading down to Miami and coaching the offense there, Fisch was the quarterbacks coach of the Seattle Seahawks.
The Hurricanes finished the regular season as the 72nd ranked team in the country in terms of total offense, but don't forget that they were missing quite a few players at the beginning of the season. The situation down in Miami is without question worse than the one in Gainesville and this could provide Fisch a chance to leave Miami.
Additionally, Fisch is a Florida graduate, and was a graduate assistant in 1999-2000. Better tidbit from his bio: Fisch has daughters named Zaylee and Ashlee.
Kerwin Bell, Jacksonville head coach
It seems that anytime the Gators have an opening at the offensive coordinator position, Bell's name comes up. Bell, who is 46 years old, walked on to the Gators football program and eventually rose to become the starting quarterback under head coach Galen Hall.
While his, uh, greatest moment as a player might be this infamous video, there is no doubt that Bell knows Florida recruiting, the high schools in the state, and everything else it takes to recruit in the state of Florida. He also has a decent overall record with Dolphins at 36-21.
More importantly for some fans, Bell is a Steve Spurrier acolyte, having done his own bit of graduate assistant work under the Ol' Ball Coach. A potent passing game will always win over the Florida faithful.
Brian White, Florida running backs coach
Yes, I know that White, who is 47 years old, doesn't have any NFL experience, and thus lacks one of the two qualities that Muschamp likes in his assistant coaches. But that didn't stop Muschamp from keeping White on the staff after he was hired as head coach.
Also, White will be Florida's offensive coordinator for the upcoming Gator Bowl against the Ohio State Buckeyes on January 2. And it is definitely worth noting that White is also the former offensive coordinator of the Wisconsin Badgers, so it isn't like he is unprepared for the demands of being an offensive coordinator.
Mike Sherman, former Texas A&M/Green Bay Packers head coach
At first, I wasn't quite sure about Sherman and thought the fact that his name coming up was a joke. But the more I think about it, it makes sense: Though he was fired at Texas A&M after the Aggies failed to live up to expectations this season, Sherman might be a logical hire if the Gators are going after a "name candidate."
Sherman's offenses are basically balanced when it comes to pass or run, but they are run out of pro-style formations. Doesn't that balance sound like what the Gators need? I'm not saying that Sherman is the right man for the job, I'm just saying that it wouldn't surprise me if he was at least offered.
Jason Phillips, Houston offensive coordinator
Phillips is a tricky one. With Houston head coach Kevin Sumlin on the market in a major way, it remains unclear if Phillips would either: A) Go with Sumlin, or B) Stay at Houston and become the head coach there. He is, after all, a graduate of the University of Houston, and guys like that are tough to pry away.
What he has done at Houston, though, cannot be denied. He is a guy that is going to get a lot of looks because of that, and his name will pop up on a lot of radars not only now, but in the future as well. Florida's radar may be one of his first pings.
Jarrett Anderson, TCU offensive coordinator
How does another Texas man sound? Anderson, who has been at TCU for nearly a decade and a half, wouldn't be what one would say an easy sell on moving to Florida. Just look at what it says in his official bio:
In both of Anderson's first two seasons as a coordinator, TCU set single-season school records for touchdowns, points scored and first downs while also ranking among the nation's most productive units.
That sounds incredibly nice, though I doubt Anderson could be pried away from TCU easily.
Again, I'm not saying the Gators are going to sign any of these guys as Weis' replacement, all I'm saying is that I wouldn't be surprised to hear these names mentioned as we go through the process of hiring a new offensive coordinator.

I'm most intrigued in White.
Staying in house and promoting a guy that deserves it I feel is always the better choice. Plus now we can get a former gator running back in as the RB coach Fred Taylor perhaps??? What’s better at recruiting a big name like Kelvin Taylor than putting his dad on the staff?
by gatorempire127 on Dec 8, 2011 9:02 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I agree with the former gator RB coach idea
but my number one choice would be Emmitt Smith.
Well that’s a given. Idk if emmit would do it tho that’s why I said Taylor. Although emmitt would probly reel in even bigger names recruiting wise than Taylor. Who wouldn’t wanna play for a hall of famer? All you gotta do is send him to their house and make him show them his superbowl rings and BAM their signed.

No offense, but I do not want Emmitt at all. He’s not my favorite Gator and I do not have fond memories of his final game as a Gator. I even contend that he cut it short voluntarily.
In all kinds of weather...
A buddy of mine, blames Spurrier for Emmitt leaving (which is kind of true) … but he has hated Spurrier ever since. Which I find a little odd.

I started UF in 1989, so I had 1 year of Emmitt and 3 years of Spurrier. I don’t have to tell you which I enjoyed more!

i think everyone felt a little betrayed when he left for the pros. personally, it burned my ass more when he came back to sec east on a different team.
I just heard Meyer is changing the name of his system from the Spread to the Cut-n-Run.
I was happy to see him go to the Redskins, as I’m a big-time Redskins fan. Because at the time, we needed help. Turns out, he was beyond horrible in Landover.
As for him coaching now, it doesn’t bother me.

I know one of those people with the rings though. He’s a coach at Maryville (TN) High which is near Knoxville. They’ve won a plethora of state football championships.
A few years ago, when they won … they bought these massive rings. It puts some Super Bowl rings to shame (size wise).
Now, every freaking time he has something to say, he holds his hand out that has the most recent ring on it, and flashes the stupid thing when they talk.
It was funny at first (and for like a year later) … but now it’s just old. And makes him look like a loser. But hey, he introduced me to Lee Humphrey about a year ago (who went to Maryville HS) … so I don’t tell him to stop anymore. At least not when he is around.

Umm, guys
neither of these guys have ever coached before, at any level. They can’t just show up and become running back coaches despite the fact that they were great running backs. Live in the now.
Someone mentioned the idea of co-coordinators on Twitter.
Passing game coordinator Bell and running game coordinator Weis would work, I think.

Staying in-house is usually, kind of, I think, the best way to keep the recruiting class together. Sometimes, a big name hire, does more harm than good in the short-term.

Mike Sherman
You know….I kinda like that. Pro and College Experience and he recruited some pretty good classes to A&M and the 2012 class was going to be a Top 8 class. Some of them might follow him to UF, you never know.
MATT freakin ELAM!
The main problem is
If he were to get hired and the offense improved considerably (which would not be that difficult) then some smaller school would hire him as an HC next and we would be right back here then.

It’s too bad he told some of his biggest recruits to continue with A&M. Classy move, but if he works this year, and his hired soon … can he go back on his word and get them?

Idk…but how soon could we see a hire? Remember how fast Foley hired Muschamp? Could we already have a new OC by midnight?

Soon. Very soon IMO. I mean, we have to act now. Recruits are wondering (and rightfully so). I do fear though, we may have lost a couple.

Agreed. Will needs to make it happen. If he goes and strikes out with another one year retard like Weis, it won’t be pretty. I’ve been hearing a lot of major applewhite talk again.

Same here. I don’t like it. I think it would give us a tie to Texas recruits…but Muschamp already gives us that if we needed it.

Exactly. And it isn’t like Texas recruits are any better than Florida recruits. I’d rather have ones from our backyard anyway.

I might be putting my foot in my mouth by not looking this up first… But im pretty sure Texas has more football talent than Florida. Someone show me the stats.
"When you argue correctly, you're never wrong."-Nick Naylor
It's more or less even.
Texas probably has a slight edge due to a larger population base.
Oh, come on. Don't leave your uncle T-bag hangin'.
It’s even in terms of numbers, but Florida wins on percentage, because of population.

when we got muschamp…god i hope it isnt.

off topic a little
Trinity holds 2 football state championship titles and two state runner up. The football team also has two starting NCAA FBS starting quarterbacks. (John Brantley at Florida, and Rob Henry at Purdue)* Mr. McGuap is a very bad teacher of this high school.*
This is why wikipedia is not a very good source. Found this looking at Bells resume.

you can obviously tell what’s fact there and what’s farce. John Brantley a starting QB? Laughable!

Have to consider the league Trinity plays in. Go to the Trinity Catholic website right now. Do it. See what I mean? We’re not exactly talking about Armwood or Pace.
I think Bell could be decent but his record at Trinity (AND BRANTLEY’S) should be examined in the right context.

Idk. But I think in the long run this is a good thing. It might hurt in the now, but in the later it should be alright. Weis was only here for one reason, and that was his son…and clearly that didn’t even matter that much since he bolted so quickly. He didn’t want to be a gator to begin with, so get him out of here and get someone in that does like Kerwin Bell. I mean, he is already saying how badly he wants to come back. He is a true gator.

Hill sucks. He sucked at Miami. The ONLY reason he was brought in is because nobody else had any ties to S. Florida recruiting.
Go back and look at Miami while Hill was there….now tell me how that helps his resume (aside from being mentioned in the Shapiro report).
Agreed. He’s just not that good a coach, but if he gets the players, and someone can coach them (like Hankerson did outside the program) … I’m okay with it.

I think our next coordinator is coming from the NFL.
He’s probably an offensive assistant, not an NFL coordinator, that also has college coaching experience and is a good recruiter. Otherwise I would think White or Bell would be the selection.
Well, as posted above, Bell wants the job. I’m sure someone has told Muschamp and/or Foley and they’ll take a look.

Fisch was damn good at Miami this year.

Has 6 years NFL experience, which Muschamp will love, has a ton of College experience, did well in all his previous stops…
Him or Bell, I think, would be the two best options…

Jacory Harris was horrible
before, during, and after Whipple. During Whipple, at least he occasionally made a big play…

It would have been all dives all the time after that second pick.

Tim Brando: Let's head to Gainesville with Coach Will Muschamp who's live on the scene with an exclusive. Coach Boom?
Boom: Gator Watch. The mood is tense; I have been on some serious, serious reports but nothing quite like this. I uh... Whiz... Weis is inside right now. I tried to set up an offense with him, but they said you can't do that he's a live walrus, he will literally rip your face off.
[to the walrus]
Coach Boom: Hey, you're making me look stupid. Get out here, Walrus Weis!
Tim Brando: Great story. Compelling, and rich.
Bell gets my vote
Also gives me an excuse to post my favorite Bell video.

I witnessed the Kentucky - Western Kentucky derpfest of '11 and survived to tell the tale

This is killing me. I need to know. I had a dream last night that Saban was hired for the position HE’S NOT EVEN AN OFFENSIVE COACH!!!

You had a dream about this? That’s kind of funny.
I had a dream last night, but it was that I was in the show Yes, Dear.

I like the sound of the TCU guy. We need someone with proven success at OC. Not another work in progress, and not another guy who will leave for HC in a year. Should go after Dan Mullen with more than what he is making now, of course if Urban had done that to keep him we would not be in this mess! When Dan left, so did our offense…
I'm a UF grad married to a TCU grad and living in DFW.
After the Frogs mercifully pawned their last OC off onto Zook (Think Addazio, but replace “Dive” with “Short-side option”) TCU promoted two guys to be co-offensive coordinators. Fuente was the hot-shot young guy of the pair, and he just took the HC job at Memphis. Anderson is the old hand on the staff who had slogged his way up the pecking with competence and loyalty, but I honestly don’t know which of them was the real spark behind TCU’s finally living up to its offensive potential. It would probably be best to leave Anderson alone for at least one more year to see how things shake out in Fort Worth.

The Fridge is a genius and has accomplished alot with lesser talent than Florida is capable of recruiting. He would tailor the offense to the current spread oriented talent and then morph the scheme as the talent changes. He would run a more traditional offense but would incorporate spread and option looks and plays to keep the opposing defenses guessing and results in a very entertaining offense. If you look at the numbers he was able to put up at Tech and Maryland (at times) it is impressive.

that's interesting
as he was at San Deigo when the Chargers went to the super bowl, so he fits the bill and if you’re looking to replace Charlie Weis in stature as well … he’s the man for the job.

I’m seeing a lot of interweb rumblings on him as a potential target, please god make it stop.
Muschamp is to NFL coaches as Addazio is to the dive.

I think ours is turning into “PFHCOC AIDS”, a mutated strain caused from hiring previously fired head coaches as offensive coordinators.
Hopefully Boom realizes this is a one-strike-your-out situation, and learns from his previous mistake of hiring for name rather than for skill.

i dont think he realizes it
and is diving head first into derp town
I just heard Meyer is changing the name of his system from the Spread to the Cut-n-Run.
