Will the Miami Hurricanes, Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles rise again? - ESPN

The state of Florida saw unprecedented success stretching over three decades. But Miami, Florida and Florida State have fallen on hard times, by their own lofty standards. Will the state of Florida rise again?

Under their current staffs? No, IMO. FSU is the only one with a shot...UM will never pay enough $$$$. Florida was ok pre Urban and will be ok going forward..ok meaning decent.

Yeah just 3 years ago Florida had superior athletes but the gap has closed.
No way UF, FSU, or Miami ever even compete for a conference title again IMO.

Yea if Miami doesn't get hit with hard sanction's, FSU fires their O Line coach, and Florida ever finds a competent QB. Without being a homer Miami obviously has the longest way to go but it's certainly possible for football in Florida to be back eventually.

Miami would be the most interesting if they got back, IMO. But there seems to be a lot of hurdles.
FSU - don't know why it hasn't happened yet, but they seem the most overdue.
UF - what's the saying? You don't want to be the guy after the guy.

Im not saying that, but there will be no Spurrier-Bowden-The U run again.

If one of the Big 3 Florida schools get a solid coach I can easily see a great 10-12 year run with a NC or 2.
I really like Muschamp right now but not sure if he is going to have what it takes come gameday.

This. Its a matter of time IMO. FSU is closest. UM is the furthest but they will get there in a few years as long as they don't get raped by the NCAA. UF will get back after Muschamp cleans up some things. Idk if Muschamp will be the one that gets them there, but he will be a BIG part of it and get the players there atleast.
UM will never make a run like they did in the 80's and early 90's where they just dominate everyone. Too many athletes nationwide now. The SEC will dominate until FSU, UM and USCw get back IMO. USC looks to be there this upcoming season.

Not really, and even if somewhat true there are more players today coming out of florida than just 10-15 years ago
There is more than enough talent at all 3 moving forward to win, UF has the toughest schedule and Miami has some catching up to do
But Florida was always raided by other powers and there is still plenty of talent to go around

This and what NoVa said. I think you can throw Texas in that mix as well.

FSU has a chance starting now as they have the talent to compete with anyone , Florida is still a couple of years away until they regroup and they compete in one of the toughest conf in college football , Miami is probably a couple of years before they can get to 8 wins again IF the sanctions are not too tough

No more than we ever have.
And as you can see from the pic Alonzo posted Florida schools seem to be doing okay on the recruiting trail.
