    It actually happened during the Kentucky game. I wanted to watch.....but had a feeling that we wouldn't make it. Checked my phone and yup......was spot on.

    It's such a weird period of non-fandom. From virtually 1994-2020, I was fine. Ever since 2021 my fandom has me just feeling.....numb. What's a good recruit? What is a win? Hell....what is a football?

    I'm just emotionally blank to UF football.

    I'm a later fan I guess, starting back in 1994. I'm just numb to UF football now.

    Turns out Kiffin will be headed to LSU after all. I’m not disappointed though because there are other coaches out there who can turn UF around.

    Im not getting all stuck on a name. Kiffin will be a headache for wherever he goes.

    Kiffin all but signed to LSU. Drinkwitz signs new six year deal with Missouri. Riley says he’s staying at USC. Golesh probably going to Arkansas.

    The only person that’s a HC that we could get who can fix things is Sumrall. I’m not even sure we’re in it with him. Now, if there’s a reason to be pissed with Strickland and Turnkey is UF could be the one without a chair when the music stops because we waited on Kiffin’s overblown ass.

    This is very disappointing. The one guy that would’ve immediately come in and win nine or 10 games next year we lost…
    Short of Riley we lose recruits and more than likely not be relevant again next year.
    Here is who we can’t hire now:
    Franklin
    Drink
    Lea
    Key
    So what big names are left that we realistically can hire beside Riley??

    Cannot take another chance on an up and comer again as we see where that got us.

    Sumrall and Fisch would do good here. I get the frustration but people need to look at Kiffin for who he is. A good, not great, coach with SEC experience. His SEC experience is the only thing that he has over Sumrall and Fisch. Kiffin has won zero NCs and has a tendency to lose games he shouldn’t. He was left on the tarmac when USC lost to an inferior opponent which was common for him.

    We’re dodging a bullet with Kiffin not coming.

    Disagree. He’s 55-19 at Ole Miss. 55-19!! No one does that in modern times there. at some point we have to ask why we are not getting our first choice?
    Tired of no passion, no urgency, and no intensity and so many of our fans accepting it. Lane has that and he’s brilliant offensively. The reason we haven’t lost any commitments is because they were all waiting on him!

    Also tired of awful offensive philosophy.

    Sumrall no. He’s only coached at smaller venue like our last coach.

    Fisch would be ok but does not move the needle. We would also lose some of our best players to the transfer portal and some of our best recruits. Only thing I like here is he’s a Gator.

    With Lane you keep.
    VB3
    Dallas
    Baugh
    Boireau
    And many other good young player. With Fisch and Sumrall not so sure you keep all of them.

    1. Kiffin isn’t coming.
    2. Fisch has a good offense and good defense.
    3. Other coaches have won at Ole Miss even though not on the level Kiffin has. Hell, Houston Nutt came into Florida in 2008 and beat us.

    Sad he’s not. Won 11 games in a season at Ole Miss. first to do that. He’s just a dude. What he’s done the last 6 seasons at Ole Miss is incredible. Fun watching what he’s doing with a former D-2 QB.
