In all seriousness, what are the chances "Big Game" Bob decides it's time for a change? I think it's pretty much impossible to argue that his best days are behind him at OU, he's still relatively young, and a fresh start might be just what he needs. It looked like he got a slight bump after knocking off bammer last bowl season, but as has happened almost every time OU has great expectations, they've flopped pretty massively this year.

The natives seem to be getting restless in Norman, and him moving on might be best for all involved. His name has popped up in countless coaching searches over the years, but it seems like there might be real merit this time. I don't think he'd ever be fired, but could it be time for a mutual parting of the ways?

That's a GREAT thought. He might re-energize himself there, might be great for UF and him.

I really doubt Bob is going to move to another college job. The stoops family has a big nice mansion they built a few years ago. I'd be shocked if Big Game Bob jumped ship for a different college job. Now, NFL is a different story.

Mike Gundy has the best odds to be Florida’s next coach

Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State may be going through a rough season in Stillwater, but the coach of the Cowboys has the best odds to be named the next Gators coach according to Bovada.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is the favorite to be the next Florida coach at 4/1. according to @BovadaLV

Colorado State head coach Jim McElwain is next in line behind Gundy at 9/2. The coach of the Rams has shown an ability to build a strong team from scratch in the Mountain West Conference and his coaching pedigree is well respected out of the Nick Saban coaching tree. If McElwain is not the head coach at Florida in 2015, he may very well be at another program from a power conference.

Stoops and Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen share 11/2 odds, followed by Rich Rodriguez (7/1), Mike Shanahan (7/1), Steve Spurrier (8/1), Hugh Freeze(8/1), Gary Patterson (12/1) and Gus Malzahn (12/1). Mullen and Freeze would be interesting possibilities, but how often do coaches switch jobs within the conference? It is not impossible, but it is somewhat rare. the same might be said of Malzahn at Auburn.
