Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin said in a statement Sunday that the Gators will search for a coach who meets the “standards and expectations for Gators football are to win championships — not simply to compete.

“The timing also allows us to conduct a thoughtful, thorough, and well-informed search for our next head coach. We remain fully committed to utilizing every resource available to identify the right leader to guide Gators Football into the future. I will conduct the search with a high degree of confidentiality to protect the privacy of those involved. The search will focus on the hiring of an elite football coach who will embody the standard we have at the University of Florida, and we will continue to provide all of the necessary resources for that coach, his staff and the players to be successful.”

Alex Golesh,Jon Sumrall, Jon Gruden, Lane Kiffin, Dan Lanning are all potential candidates, albeit the first two will likely have much shorter odds when BetOnline releases them.
