    exactly. You HAVE to go for BIG AIR this coaching cycle. Look at the NFL and see what HC’s are close to being on the hot seat or on the hot seat and see if you can get one of them. Or if a NFL coach has an eye on college (prolly not with NIL but you get my drift).

    Then you go to Oregon and up the ante and offer Lanning $11 mill. Yea that’s unrealistic but it shows you’re trying to go big game hunting. At the very least, reset the coaching market. If/when that fails go after Kiffin and if/when that fails….gawd help us

    Or let’s see what happens at OSU and Ryan Day. If he is, mistakenly pushed out, grab him but MOST IMPORTANTLY grab Mark Pantoni and let’s get this thing headed in the right track

    There are a few, one of the first fires I fought was a basement fire at an older home in Tampa.

    Stoops shouldn’t even be on the list

    Boosters need to get enough $ for Meyer, Kiffin, or Fisch

    Leipold should be next up.

    Id rather go Chadwell than Stoops

    I refrained from saying it but yes, Florida has many basements even if not as common as up north. Even beachside communities have them. Have been in several house fires that have basements.

    He’s technically not wrong. A few places in and around Clermont have houses with basements. That is in both rural and Central Florida.

    But they are so few.

    He tried to use a cliche and adapt it to UF’s situation. Failed misserably.

    He was trying to characterize anyone criticizing the piss-poor job he's doing as being basement dwellers. Guess what, Billy? Everyone is criticizing you. I guess there are a whole lot of basement dwellers around here.

    re-tagging the swamp as " the basement" ? technically the playing surface is below ground level.
