According to three sources in the coaching community, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy, the Vegas favorite to land the vacant Florida head coach job, wants the position and through back channels has been letting his interest be known.

Gundy, 47, is the all-time wins leader at OSU (his alma mater) and has an 82-43 record heading in to today's games. Two years ago he was in the mix for the Tennessee job, which went to Butch Jones, and sources in the coaching community have said he's long been intrigued by coaching in the Southeastern Conference.

The Cowboys are in the midst of a dip at 5-5 this season, but the program has never been consistently this good for this long. Also, Gundy fits the mold as the type of offensive mind that Florida athletics director Jeremy Foley is expected to hire.

So it appears the boys in Las Vegas, who set Gundy as the favorite to land the job at 9-2 odds, may have known something after all.

Will Florida go in that direction? It remains to be seen. But there is some smoke here and it's worth keeping a close eye on.
