It is still October and this year’s college football's coaching carousel already looks primed to be one of the craziest we've seen in the sport. Lane Kiffin is in a good situation at Mississippi, with the Rebels (6–1) firmly in the mix to reach the College Football Playoff for the first time. And yet, Kiffin's name has been bandied about for some of the top-tier jobs that are open on the market—namely, the fresh opening at Florida.
The Gators fired embattled coach Billy Napier after UF's 3–4 start to the season. While Ole Miss has been the superior program for years—in large part due to Kiffin's work in Oxford, Miss.—Florida has a national championship pedigree, fertile recruiting grounds and the potential resources to head back to the top of the sport, if they can only nail a coaching hire for the first time since Urban Meyer came to Gainesville from Utah ahead of the 2005 season.
