    I think that this is a likely scenario. Especially because we do not have a university President at this time.

    I do not think that any change in the head football coach will occur until we have a new University President.

    That is a very big decision in Gatorland!

    That is my opinion which may be worth nothing.

    Nobody worth a sh*t is going to come here bc they know he is toast. I actually think this is the reason why we didn't get one this past offseason.

    Honestly he hasn't shown the ability to put together a top flight staff thus far, RR just made the defense worse, don't see why someone would think further staff shuffle would fix things.

    I think if the interim prez wasnt Fuchs than maybe, but he has the clout to oversee this even as an interim.

    Problem is that it likely means Stricklin is the guy that does it.

    Side note tonight. I know Ole Miss lost, but when faced with the same exact scenario, Kiffin threw instead of running up the middle on 3rd and 20 plus and overtime.

    Billy tries hard, but this job is way over his head. The in game blunders are sickening. There is no way we should have lost that game tonight.

    Its just basic crap too. You could literally see a ref explaining the 10 second runoff rule to him...on two separate occasions.

    I can't swear to it, but the ref seemed to be shocked that he was having to explain a rule that my 14 year old clearly understands during the game.

    idgaf if he ran or threw, he lost. People want him now so they'll make excuses, the same way people hate Billy now so they'll blame him for breathing wrong and causing global warming. The candidate pool isn't deep so I'll take him if we can get him but I have my doubts about how good he actually is.

    BN can’t get 11guyson the field for a FG. After a time out.The 10 second run off is like a differential equation to him. No clue.

    As for kiffin, guy takes ole miss to top 20 a wins 9+ games…. At ole miss! Like to see his ceiling at UF and comfortable that his floor of 9-10 wins is a far better fall for Gator fans.

    As for people “blaming BN for global warming” - nah, we blame him for stupid coaching. Far simpler and imminently proveable

    On the second one you can see him asking on his headset what he should do. That’s not something an alpha coach does.

    It does not matter. The president's job is way more important than any other job.

    It sets the tone for everything else.

    That should be rather obvious IMHO.

    Choosing a football coach who is not in sync with the President's vision will set the football program back even more.

    Unless the OC thinks he would have a shot at HBC for some reason.

    I do not think that Fuchs is anything but a place holder but I have been wrong before.

    I just do not see the Board giving any interim the power to make big changes which could possibly have to be undone shortly thereafter.

    They really want to avoid that IMHO.
