    Can we just stop this?

    The decision was decisive, in the words of Tebow.

    It was courageous.

    It galvanized his team.

    It's jumpstarting recruiting.

    Thr process is in place.

    CBN DESERVED 2025. We are not cutthroats who run off nice guys.

    Who cares that Saban said UF's culture is broken? What does he know?

    You don't have that either. Just an unfunny broken record.

    Read it again. 2025 appears not once in that letter. Things are always subject to change.

    Actually, Saban stated today that he was impressed with the fight from the locker room and it speaks well of our culture.

    Yes, my quote from him is dated (though this season) but the results haven't changed.

    His pops already said that UF was all in on Lagway anyway and his son didn't want to sit behind him

    Actually, he said he would "continue" as coach. He didn't give a timeline did he?

    Didn't some journo say he got confirmation that it meant he would be retained for 2025?

    I wonder if there is data out there that speaks to how often those types of letters from the AD to the public result in the type of turnaround everybody is hoping for. I'm going to guess that almost none of them do.

    It's called a kiss of death for a reason.
    If a GM says it in pro sports the guy NEVER survives.

    In the pros there are examples of guys actually being fired and having success elsewhere. It's a bit different in college since it's a move for recruiting. Regardless, most college coaches that succeed don't get in a position where such a statement needs to be made.
