    This really makes no sense at all. If he told Striclin he was interested when they were vetting Frost, then this is the farthest from the truth as you can get.

    I don't understand anyone who is. I feel like we went strong after this. If we are turned down, then just bring it the next time.

    Ya know, I am pretty sure Shane Edge would ban the guy from any association with punters.

    If he stays, he needs to be demoted. He's a bad defensive coordinator.

    True, but that was days ago. Knowing what we know about CK, he changes his mind a lot...which is why I’m not sure how anyone can be confident on what he decides

    I'm sure the head coach will be capable of making that decision. Pretty sure your input will not be considered .

    Really? I think you need to take a look at his track record as a DC and then take a look at the depth chart he had to work with this year. This is only the second time in his career that his defense has been ranked outside of the top 10 nationally and this is EASILY the thinnest defense he had to work with.

    Well. Not Mullen.

    But , I’m with you. I can’t believe the pussification of a bunch of posters.

    Great. Neither will yours. Since your input is irrelevant, you can stop posting.

    completely disagree my man... if Shannon is what's holding up the possibility of Kelly signing with UF, then I'd put Randy on the next bus to Coral Gables with a one way ticket. There's plenty of good recruiters out there and only one Chip.

    honestly I don't even believe that's an issue though, it would just be a dumb move by Stricklin and I can't see him jeopardizing the hire with that kind of stuff.

    And yet, he couldn't get anyone else to hire him as DC from 2011 through 2016. His only other DC experience was with those ridiculously stacked Miami teams. I've watched his scheming closely. He's a poor tactician. He's reliant on talent. I want someone who makes the talent appear better than they are, not someone who does the opposite.

    Take your point about merits of individuals. Not debating the value of any particular staffer.

    But the politicians gotta let the generals fight the war on the battlefield. Hire a leader and give him the resources to win including decision authority for strategy and tactics (which includes personnel).

    Do not micro-manage. Do not handcuff.

    If you believe a coach is worth $5mill+/yr, then trust that he is smart enough to identify the staff he needs. If you want him to keep a staffer for some other reason then "the other reason" is the problem.
