    Sigh. Between trying to fire Mac with cause (obviously scares away other coaches) and not giving away control makes it obvious we aren’t a top 5 job. Not even a top 10 honestly. Borderline top 20 with how incompetent our UAA is.

    The fact UCLA paid Mora $12m to go away and we tried to go cheap with Mac speaks volumes to candidates

    OR.....the administration sees a runaway train called major college football and it doesn't want UF to be another passenger. Now does that make us the next Vanderbilt? we shall see but I do know that if the administration was given specific marching orders from the big-check writers and they whiffed then there WILL be repercussions.

    Sigh.

    I say we watch Florida baseball and basketball (plus the ladies).

    But we bandwagon onto Bama/Clemson or some other school that is committed. Most fans of lesser schools have another “good” team that they root for. We should do the same since the UAA doesn’t care

    It's almost like he expects to have more issues. There is zero reason for a coach to be against that type of clause if they stay on the straight and narrow.

    Getting closes on gameday

    Barkley picked us to win but said it's like "to ugly girls fighting"

    Our program is officially at a low point. Scott Stricklin has a really tough job right now. He needs to get that football operations center built yesterday.

    Need someone who can run a competent offense and recruit.

    I think we end up with Tagart or Mullen. If not, I'd make a run at Gundy or leach.

    Not getting my hopes up for Frost but that would be my choice if possible

    Inside your head.
    I think Kelly never intended to come here. Florida was always a tool to get a better deal for himself. As I said in the beginning, if Kelly chose to go to UCLA that would tell us that he wanted an easy ride in a weaker conference. That tells you all you need to know about his character. We dodged a bullet.

    I am calling for tilly and BenTrillGriffin to never post on this site again.

    Maybe they had the "inside info", but the way it was so confidently messaged to all on this board was deceptive, and in the end flat out wrong. I felt misled.

    And UCLA is a fat ugly tier 2 guy with no fan base or ability to succeed on a national level.

    If what BenTrill says is true, Mike Leach is going to be an unlikely choice.
