Please be true! Herbstreit made a comment that this is who Florida will go after. It makes sense too for both parties.
I kinda miss rooting for Florida. It's been about 6 or 7 years since I've had an interest in them. I hated Zook, I hated Urban Meyer. Spurrier is my 2nd favorite coach of all-time- right behind John Hayden Fry. And Chucky is my favorite NFL coach of all-time.
Bring Chucky to Gainesville, and I am going to have to bust out the 'ol Gator gear that I haven't worn in years.
I could definitely see Gruden being interested in this job and it would be a perfect fit for him. He could definitely recruit well down in Florida given his ties to the state. He's a great coach too.
If not Gruden, I suppose the usual suspects- Dan Mullen and Charlie Strong- will be given interviews. Bob Stoops is the wildcard. Last year I think they would have had a shot to get him, but why leave now? He's got arguably the best team in the country coming back next year.
Gus Malzahn is another name that I could see getting interest from Florida. Gary Patterson's name will come up like it does every major college job that comes open- but then Florida will realize what everyone else does, that he is nothing more than a mid-major coach and would fail at this level.
Gruden to the Gators?

Gruden would be a perfect match at Michigan.
