    He's not really stealing a recruit from us. Maybe ATM.

    He did take our OG and WR a couple years ago when they failed to make their grades.

    I only questioned his ability/commitment as a college FB coach. Btw, He will never coach at FSU, even if he’s offered.

    I’d say best case is he goes to FSU. But I guess that’s from our perspective. I’d be great watching him flounder.

    Did he take them if they could not come? Did JUCOs take the rest of them?

    Reality doesn't matter. Its how he markets it. People here are pushing Perkins interview comments about Florida. If he commits to Deion he will frame it as stolen from UF/aTm. Just like the Georgia commit recently that had a UF hat on the table even though we didn't recruit him lol. Smoke and mirros

    regarding ability, jsu was a horrible program before he got there. now they're winning the conference.

    regarding commitment, that's true for every coach tho right? lincoln riley, brian kelly, dan mullen to an extent...

    i do agree with your last comment about fsu. i think he felt disrespected by their lack of interest, and maybe even feels they did willie dirty, but that's not my problem lol.

    Who is acting like he lucked into anything. Everyone acknowledges his physical talents. Dude was amazing and a poster here testified to that even when he was a kid. That doesn't mean he's a great coach, a good person or a selfless leader of young men. He gets heat from us not only because he went to fsu but because he had something like a 0.0 gpa at fsu. They literally made a rule because of it. He's obnoxious and a shameless self promoter. Gator fans have plenty of respect for the Warwick Dunns and Derrick Brooks of the world despite them having gone to fsu.

    sorry for the semi-hijack but i'll leave it alone after this. i named multiple things he's been good at. he's been in coaching for a long time now. he's been successful everywhere he's been coaching. does that make him a good coach? i guess not...

    regarding the gpa...honestly who cares now. i wasn't aware of it, but as you mentioned, they changed the rule, so let's go forward. not sure judging a 50 year old man by his transgressions as a 20 year would be fair to any of us.

    Agree to Disagree man. Some of that matters to people. I'm not trying to make you less of a fan but you are trying to make excuses for what it is about him that people don't like. I say that respectfully. Hard to convey that in text.

    The vast majority of financially successful NFL players made thier fortunes outside football because a successful investment firm or consultant told them what to do with their millions. That doesn't make them great businessmen. It makes them great listeners. I have no idea if thats the case here but based on his educational pedigree I would assume so. If it wasn't for WMA firms 90% of the NFL would be broke despite themselves.

    I think historically Black Colleges would be a tremendous draw for some of these athletes. There is A LOT of history at some of these institutions and to bring them more attention and respect is a noble goal. To say it is “all about the Benjamins” under values what the message/goal might be for some of these guys.
