It's kind of surprising to say this, but Florida, a hot bed of college football, is somewhat in disarray right now.
With Urban Meyer stepping down, leaving a huge vacancy at Florida (cue the Dan Mullen rumors), the U beeing lost at sea in search of their own head coach to take them back to the promise land, and Florida State just finishing their first year without Bobby Bowden, all three of these iconic programs have fallen off the table.
When is the last time all three of these programs have been down and out like this? Maybe not too long ago, when you think of Ron Zook, but now we are looking at a potential extended down time.
I see Mullen pulling a Lane Kiffin and ending up in Florida, Mike Leach taking over in Miami and Jimbo Fisher probably fired within two or three years.
It's just somewhat odd to see three iconic programs like this not competing for national titles regularly and it might not happen again for a little while.
