Robert Griffin III Wants Free Agent Tim Tebow to Take Up Unconventional Coaching Job

The Paul Finebaum Show continues has both interviews with academic football personalities and unhinged suggestions from the callers. One such unhinged caller on the show this week was ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III. Robert expressed his opinion on who should coach the Florida Gators. The search for a head coach at Florida is heating up and Griffin threw Tim Tebow in the mix.

Who does RGIII think should coach the Gators? 

During his phone call on the Paul Finebaum Show, Griffin name-dropped Tim Tebow to coach the Gators. Griffin thinks the Gators should think out of the box and throw a wild card. He said, “Here’s an outlier for you if you have a little bit of time. My outlier is this; I think the Gators should hire Tim Tebow. I think they have to think outside the box for the next head coaching hire.”

Robert continues, “The word out there is that Dan Mullen wasn’t in love with recruiting. He wasn’t in love with the process and those things. But who’s going to really out-recruit Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, and Jimbo Fisher, right?”

Keeping the previous few coaches in mind, Griffin thinks Tebow is the right choice. “So, if you throw Tim Tebow in there, surround him with structure, have about three or four previous head coaches on his staff to help him figure out the vision of his program, that’s going to bring excitement to the Florida Gators. It’s going to have players be intrigued, excited about going into Gainesville and recreating that culture they had oh so long ago.” Griffin thinks Tim Tebow will fit right in, and with the help of the coaching staff, the Gators will be unstoppable. 

Tebow has zero coaching experience but, according to Griffin, coaches do not need X’s and O’s; they need to be motivating, and Tebow is the best at it. 

Tim Tebow and his history with Florida

Tim played for the Florida Gators from 2006 to 2009. Under his leadership, the Gators won the National Football in 2008. He also won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 with them. 

Tim Tebow played in the NFL for three seasons. He signed with the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets as a quarterback. After his time in the NFL, his career took a strange turn as he left football for baseball. He signed with the Mets in 2016. Tebow retired from sports in 2021. He clearly has a lot of experience in the game. Maybe Robert Griffin III is correct, and Tim Tebow could be the perfect fit for the Florida Gators.
