    As has been said in interviews, it's a math problem now. When does lost revenue outweigh cost of buyout? That is when the announcement will be made.

    Not upset with you Green but Griffith is a smarmy Dog hack who loathes the Gators. He will do anything to create chaos within our program. When discussing UF you cannot trust a thing he says. He exists to prop up Ga and keep UF down as long as possible. Remember, he is on the UGA payroll. Believe nothing he says about us.

    This was just the first one I found. Please don’t ask for at least 10 examples.

    Griffith definitely does not like the Gators but I think it is mostly he thinks we are idiots trying to win like it is still the 90s when the top schools like Alabama and UGA changed the game in the 2010s and we are clueless to adapt, which overall tracks.

    I forgot about the Kiffy / Auburn romance. Pretty sure we're more attractive than AU. At least we're still that.

    Zook is the 2nd best coach we've had behind only Meyer. If Zook had just focused on recruiting and let his coaches coach, he'd have been fine. He wanted to be the Gators coach and it wasn't just a step for him.

    Yep that’s one really bad take. There weren’t many people agreeing with that . There were however many disagreeing with 8 wins or fired which was more prevalent.

    Yes, but the particular question at hand was, did anyone specifically say that Napier could keep his job with only four wins. So I needed to go find one.

    No there wasn’t. There was have patience in year two . This is year three and all the wait and see is over.

    Yeah, that wasn’t me either. I couldn’t have found eight reasonable wins on that schedule. That would be a scenario as ridiculous as, say, an ostensibly snubbed playoff team losing its first three games of the season, including to Memphis at home. Would never happen.

    What? I'm referring to this offseason, post year 2.

    No , you acted as if was a predominant opinion by a group of fans when it was only a few absurd opinions .

    No, I did not mean to suggest that it was a predominant opinion. That certainly was not the case.

    There is no way in hell “Florida people want to keep Scott Stricklin.”

    This guy’s a troll.

    I can't see us winning 6 games - not that many cupcakes on the schedule and we just seem like we fold and let anyone beat us these days, very few exceptions.

    What's done is done - but how in the world did we get into a $27 million buyout with Billy Napier? The guy just flat out did not command that type of security. We got worked on that deal - just awful. Not sure on the economics of it, but continuing to flounder in football year after year has to have a cost to it - sooner or later you have to ask what the right price tag is for that success/failure.

    I personally think Kiffin has always looked at Florida - the state and UF (his first father in law was John Reaves) - as the place to be. He's done a tremendous job building his brand back up after some early career setbacks and I just don't see Ole Miss as his last stop.

    He'd make us exciting and fun to watch again. I'm in. Let's roll out the red carpet for Juice.

    That's a BN narrative. They refused to pay the stupid contract that he got from UF and they moved on.

    If by "Florida ppl" he means Kent Fuchs, then probably yes.
