Interim head coach Randy Shannon will lead Florida when the Gators play South Carolina at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday in Williams-Brice Stadium.
Shannon certainly didn’t help his chances of being considered a candidate to keep the job when the Gators were humiliated by Missouri 45-16 this past Saturday.
So who are the leading candidates to replace Jim McElwain as Gators’ head coach?
When Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin said he wanted Gators football to be fun again, you can translate that to mean he wants another HBC like Steve Spurrier, who won and won big.
That means an offense-minded head coach.
