    will only address one point. If your boss has to force you to fire under performing cancers, you are not a good coach. Period.

    Maybe but there probably a reason for that and it needs to change if we want a top notch program.

    We’re literally just played in 3 straight NY6 bowls

    And he either couldn’t recruit or wa$not allowed to have top recruits. Either way, the classes have to be bought or the rest is a farce.

    The goal is win the SEC. Playoffs and Natty's will happen if you're good enough to win the SEC. The tao of the Spur dog!

    Our football only facility was 5 years late in my opinion.

    When was the last time we were in the playoffs? A January 1st bowl is not the honor it once was.

    I’ve said this several times- per a family friend that works in UF admin (NOT the UAA, so take with a grain of salt)… the perception, right or wrong, is that UF lacks major booster buy-in and want-to in terms of doing what it takes to win in the NIL era.

    Not enough Hathcocks, in quantity and quality, if you will. Not that there aren’t potentials out there- tons of ultra-wealthy UF supporters, of course. Just not enough willing to stoop to the level of the UGAs, Bamas, Miamis, ATMs, etc.

    It's because Wealthy UF grads know it's would be akin to burning cash. There are far better ROIs then fleeting bragging rights.

    Love it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed those wins, but like Chump's 2012 season, it had no lasting impact.

    Your being a little generous to UF Admin. UCF had theirs almost 15 years ago,

    I'm glad its done and it looks great. It doesn't do anything more than give our rivals one less thing to use against us.
