    First, no, I'm not insane, but thank you for asking.
    Second, you originally said "coaches that commit a fireable offense." Now you're changing it to specifics of "sexual or physical abuse" that actually lead to firing. That's not even something Golden is accused of. Drunk driving is a fireable offense. Tax evasion is a fireable offense.
    Third, the number of offenses that can get a coach canned are unknown, unreported, or don't lead to firings, greatly exceeds the ones that do.
    Lastly, as I said, 1 in 4 is an estimate from my experience. I had four different head football coaches. Three were great. The fourth was a mean, vindictive, racist who was diddling the head cheerleader.

    Naaah. Most people here don't care about that. "You're guilty until proven innocent" us the norm around here.

    It's everywhere. Why do the TEMU ads at the bottom always show women modeling t shirts and dresses with Double D's? Golden should have been perusing the ads on Gator Country.

    Only at UF do those odds get better. Things that at at UF you can’t make it up. Never will we be at peace . Guess we struck a deal with the devil in the early 2000’s

    So, if this is true and SS had knowledge about any of this prior to the article, is he done as AD?

    So what we know right now, pending the outcome of the investigation:

    • Stickler may have made another bad hire
    • Golden may have stalked these women
    • The assistants may have covered it up
    • The women may be lying
    • The leaker has done us a disservice

    Only the last item is a fact in my opinion. I don't see the benefit to the parties involved of leaking only the allegations before the investigation is complete. The alleged victims have recourse if the outcome of the investigation is unsatisfactory. It makes for a juicy story but has the potential of harming innocent parties.

    If true, I think this does him in regardless of knowledge. Third strike and all.

    Exactly! Probably false but even if true we should remember the Golden Tool.

    I keep seeing posts like this. Of course he would have had knowledge of the complaint being filed in September. Certainly teams of Lawyers reviewed and recommended a course of action during the investigation. The title IX office would handle any investigation unless there were elements they felt were criminal and referred to appropriate agency.

    Now if unheeded complaints were main to sports staff’s, that is something else.

    Regardless of the wording of the initial remark, in 8 years Stricklin has made 8 head coaching hires. 2 were fired for cause early on because of harrassment/abuse allegations. Now Golden is being accused of harrassment. IF he is also fired with cause (capital IF on purpose), that would make 3 of 8 hires terminated early in their tenures for harrassment/abuse allegations credible and substantial enough to result in a for cause firing. And that's a mind boggling percentage

    If it is true it will be one to many black marks against SS. Of course he knew about it before the article. It is a title 9 complaint. But his knowledge isn't relevant because TG deserves a full investigation and SS shouldn't take any action on something like this until an investigation is concluded.

    Yeah, which is why he's still coaching I guess.
