So he says he knows who the coach will be. STAB. I call BS.

Go ahead, take a STAB at it
by Robbie Andreu
ESPN’s Colin Cowherd stirred up Gator Nation in a big way Thursday morning when he revealed he knows who Jeremy Foley is going to hire as Florida’s next football coach. He did not come up a name, but a hint. The hint was the acronym STAB. He said it will prove he was right when the news does come out (he’s predicting it will be soon, maybe anytime now).

So, what do you think STAB stands for? The consensus seems to be Same Thing As Before — which would mean Foley’s guy is Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, who would follow in Urban Meyer’s footsteps for a second time. (It certainly worked out well the first time). It makes some sense. Whittingham and Meyer are close friends and talk all the time. If Meyer is asked to recommended his replacement, I’m pretty confident this would be the guy.

But watch out for all these rumors and this early speculation that is only going to multiply over the next few days. As for Cowherd’s tease, I think he’s just trying to generate interest in his show. How could he know? I don’t even think Jeremy knows yet. He’s in the very early stages of the coaching search, so he still has a lot of work (and interviewing) to do.

I will predict the next rumor: Foley is meeting with former Tampa Bay Bucs coach Jon Gruden in Tampa on Thursday night to discuss the job. After all, Foley is in Tampa (along with Meyer) for an Outback Bowl function at Raymond James Stadium. So, yeah, this will be the next rumor to pop up on an Internet site near you. Of course, Dan Mullen was in Jacksonville on Thursday night for a Gator Bowl function, so maybe Foley is scooting over there to interview Meyer’s former offensive coordinator.

This is going to be fun, isn’t it?

Yeah, this is old already and is pretty stupid. STAB can fit any coach possibility.

Also, it's been rumored that the coach Meyer has recommended is Chris Petersen. Petersen and Foley spoke Thursday night at the College Football Awards. It's believed Bob Stoops is still option 1 with Peterson 1a.

Bobby Petrino supposedly rounds out the top 3 options.

lol, maybe he had 1 coach in mind and thought of STAB from that coach. Then figured in case he was wrong he could sit around for a few days thinking of how STAB can fit anyone else possible so he can reveal the message minutes after anyone is announced the new HC.

Plus the thread wasn't solely for the article alone, I figured the STAB acronym possibilities could turn into something.

Well duh, it's obviously Gruden since he used to coach the Raiders and their fans like to STAB people.

Yeah, it's basically setup so he can claim he was right no matter who is hired.

Gruden - STAB as in Chucky or Spent Time As Buccaneer
Spurrier - Same Thing As Before or Second Time Around the Block
Whittingham - Same Thing/Team As Before
Petersen - Smurf Turf At Boise or Soon To Abandon Boise
Stoops - Stoops Turns Against Boomer
Saban - Saban Turns Against Bama

Maybe same thing as before means Steve Spurrier.

WebGem · 12-10-2010, 09:27 PM

Maybe it'll be McDaniels. The huge upside to hiring him would be that it's college football - he's not allowed to do trades.

Same turbulent asanine bullshit.

**DaKCMan AP** · 12-10-2010, 09:43 PM

What I'm hearing lately is that it's looking like Chris Petersen, which would be outstanding.

**DaneMcCloud** · 12-10-2010, 09:49 PM

My money's on Dan Mullen

**LoneWolf** · 12-10-2010, 09:54 PM

It's got to be McDaniels. Silly Twit Assraped Broncos.

Ray Lewis?

Cowherd is insufferable. He seems to have a "look at me, look at me" and "I am by far the smartest guy in the room" complex. His shtick gets old real quick and he rarely has a good take. My opinion from the numerous times I have listened to his show while the other two sports talk radio stations were at commercial. I can't stand to listen to the guy for more than a couple minutes.
