I can't link it from work but A Sea of Blue tweeted out that he is reportedly a candidate for that job.
Brad White a candidate for Fla St DC?

I'm of two minds: 1) he's consistently put good defenses on the field according to stats, 2) his obsession with opening every game with a base vanilla scheme that invariably means we play from behind the whole game, piss poor against 3rd down, going prevent in situations that allow teams to score late (either in the half or in the game or both).
Think he, along with Stoops, has plateaued and we won't see improvement in his overall scheme. One can point to several years where we had really good defensive stats, but also point to games/seasons where it didn't seem like we could stop anyone when we really needed a stop.

Hope he leaves so Mitch doesn’t get an itchy trigger finger and try to hire him when Stoops leaves.
Great news!!! The defense and Brad White are the only things that have been consistent, we are always one of the better defensive teams, they just get wore down because the offense is garbage. If he leaves and is allowed to take coaches and players, would we see Stoops put his brother in the DC position? Maybe Bob comes out of retirement and runs the offense?
It’s hard for me to really know how to evaluate him as a coach because it’s so difficult to untangle how much of our defensive identity both good and bad comes directly from him and how much is Stoops. Would we be better or worse off without him, or look pretty much the same? Would he carry over the bend don’t break philosophy to FSU, or look more aggressive with a different boss? It would be interesting to find out if he does leave.
