    Ain't No Sunshine In Sunshine State
    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.

    Urban Meyer realized what life was like without Tim Tebow.

      And without Cam Newton...

      Would he really be retiring if he had Newton under center right now with the (unlikely) chance of him coming back for one more season?

        FSU is turning the corner some I believe.I would not bet against Florida football. They are down, but if Leach goes to UM, and Mullen goes to Florida like you suggest..wow! That would be strong. I think that Mike Leach has a loose screw but the guy is a winner and players will play for him.
