    Your skepticism isn’t why folks get frustrated with you - it’s pessimistic posts like this one that irritate the most. It’s actually ok to hope your school does well.

    At least I can go back to disliking Kelly. I would have had to do some mental gymnastics with him being our coach. So there's that.

    Zero data indicating that deciding factor(s) was inferiority of an offer. UCLA/Florida are fundamentally different lifestyle options and challenges. Those differences are bigger than final differences in salary (which each side was probably willing to "match ).
    These decisions don't come down to a phone call race.

    I got that out of the way yesterday afternoon when it seemed like this was going to be the natural conclusion. Kelly being Kelly. I think a mix of indecision and leverage. Typical him. Oh well. We tried, which is more than I thought we would actually do with him. Hurts to lose out, but onto the next guy. Lets hope the next guy is someone that we can envision being here for a very long time.

    The fact that UCLA is already moving forwar is frustrating. SS left holding his wanker and football still in limbo.

    Nebraska seems to have their guy.

    We are onto option CDEF. Not the way to make your mark as Florida AD. Just saying.

    We took some flotsam and jetsam and built one of the most remarkable pieces of public art ever. Now we sit back and see it from afar and...

    It kind of looks like a huge pile of dog poo. Oh well, it was fun to make!

    I think people had good information. Really comes down to Kelly being very unprofessional and his word not being worth $hit. Would have made for a poor working relationship going forward.
