Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin has a decision to make. It can't come soon enough for Florida fans, who hope the Gators' top target to replace Billy Napier is heading to Gainesville. Kiffin will announce his decision Saturday, when Florida and Florida State will square off in the Swamp on Senior Day. A meeting of longtime rivals with plenty of bad blood between them will be overshadowed by Kiffin, who could decide to remain in Oxford or head to LSU to leave the Gators pivoting to their backup plan. As two fanbases brace to be left at the altar, Edgar and Mark discuss the dramatic days ahead during the latest Swamp Things.

UF introduced Jon Sumrall Monday to conclude a robust six-week search that targeted Ole Miss' Lane Kiffin before landing on Tulane's up-and-coming coach.

New Florida football coach Jon Sumrall didn't waste any time making his two biggest staff hires, culminating with Georgia Tech offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner. Sumrall made the moves while also coaching Tulane to the AAC title to earn a CFP bid and overseeing two recruiting classes. Sumrall's multi-tasking and expediency is a change of pace to Billy Napier's measured approach. The CFP selection committee's methods came under fire after it revealed a 12-team field without Notre Dame. During the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar praise Sumrall's alacrity and discuss the CFP's methodology, while also touching on a busy stretch in Florida's other sports.

The transfer portal opens on Friday as new coach Jon Sumrall and his staff continue to construct the 2026 Gators. Attrition is already underway, highlighted by quarterback DJ Lagway's departure. Many players reportedly intend to enter the portal, including receiver Tre Wilson. Others could follow, but continue to negotiate, led by tailback Jadan Baugh, receiver Dallas Wilson and edge rusher Jayden Woods. Meanwhile, rising stars, including linebacker Myles Graham and receiver Vernell Brown III, are back in the fold. The question then remains: Who's headed to Gainesville? It's a lot of moving parts, but during the latest Swamp Things, Mark and Edgar try to piece it all together during the new age of college football.

New coach Jon Sumrall and Co. secured their five targets from the 2025 Gators, led by 1,000-yard rusher Jadan Baugh, and added more than a dozen newcomers from the transfer portal.
