    He will be gone after Mississippi State (which just lost 41-17 at home to Toledo) destroys us.

    I know her personally here in Atlanta and l highly doubt Sara puts up money for this. Now if they want to be the first school to hire a woman head coach then she would fund that. BTW she started out at UF. Her direct quote to me when FSU and UF play she cheers for whoever has the ball on offense

    Hard to believe there has been no announcement to let the fans think that long term moves are being made that will improve this situation. Does Fuchs and company even care? This is pretty depressing.

    Yeah, there are others on here that know her family, as well. Didn't she buy out Taggart? Picking the most qualified person for the job regardless of what group they represent is always the best policy.

    He'd always have a competitive team, but, never a champion. That's something, but, not enough for most people.

    That would undercut Napier's remaining time here. Tell the coaches, then the players, then the fans.

    Wouldn't excite the masses but would be a solid coach, maybe a long term stepping stone.

    Yes, but the coaches and players should have been told already and, really, what is there to undercut? This is a case where immediate and decisive action should be taken.

    I think he beats MSU and then if we lose to a baby brother from Orlando he gets sent packing.

    Little do they know that while they will celebrate the winning of the battle, it will help us win the war.
