    Well, let the off season festivities begin. Nice to see some folks from winning, well run programs.

    UF Holds Football GM Interviews

    “The group of candidates consist of former Jacksonville Jaguars GM David Caldwell, current Ole Miss GM Matt Lindsay, former Atlanta Falcons longtime director of football operations Nick Polk and current director of player personnel for the UFL’s Arlington Renegades Rick Mueller.

    Caldwell, Lindsay and Mueller each have worked for current Philadelphia Eagles' GM Howie Roseman, a UF graduate, with Caldwell currently working with the organization as personnel executive. Lindsay previously worked under Roseman in the scouting department from 2013-14, while Mueller worked with the Eagles from 2012-16.”

    Not surprising that the candidates have all worked with the Eagles. The consulting group that has been working for UF is run by a former Eagle.

    HAIL NO to any "GM" that was a lifer in the NFL... Forget it. Give me a person that would rather be an AD for college football only, instead of that GM BS.

    I've been saying this for several years that we need a FOOTBALL ONLY AD, to run all the day-to-day behind the scenes of football IN COLLEGE... Not some NFL GM that is there to "transition" college football to some semi-pro league, rife with all the things that I despise about the NFL. The unions, lawyers, contracts, collective bargaining and STRIKES... HAIL NO to that BS...

    Professional sports IS political BS. Let's keep the politics out of our college athletics forever.

    I guess that is the way the world is going. The colleges are going to try run a pro sports league and try to do it tax free. Its just another giant leap away from the actual purpose of higher education.
