    When the money is all put together and ready to move, they will figure out how to get it done.

    Chris Doering absolutely nailed it last night. For those who havent seen it, he really leveled a strong indictment against Billy.

    Billy needs to be an honorable and honest man and resignat the end of the season with a vastly reduced buyout.
    Perhaps some coaches don’t get a fair shot and deserve their buyout. But this is not the case with Billy. He should realize that and do the right thing.
    Still can’t get the right number on the field for special teams?? It’s like the Keystone cops

    Amazing this is worthy of a $25 million buyout?! Man, I will do it for 1 and bet we get the same number of wins. Doesn’t the team count for a couple wins just on talent alone? This is a felony.

    None of us even care anymore that he’s ostensibly a good dude. The vitriol is about to be unparalleled as we enter the “death stretch” of our season. And it will all be self-inflicted. Time to get this clown away from our program.

    Guy is a consistent winner at Iowa State for a good while. Iowa State. What's your thoughts?

    Just do not think he's the right fit for UF. If that guy at Indiana was 20 years younger I would be interested. But he is 63.

    They want that prestige at their cocktail parties

    Outside of the west coast tech world nobody gives a crap about Stanford.

    The education world is changing.

    Sports are how schools become well known to the masses.

    This pursuit of a ranking doesn’t help alums and 99% of current and future students.

    The West Coast Tech World? Do you mean the ones who develop everything that you use on a daily basis?

    Since most of the people who have any influence on what happens at UF disagree with you I will leave it at that.

    And "sports are how schools become well known to the masses"?

    I do not think that the masses are that stupid!

    HaHaHa!

    Perhaps you are having a bad day (or something like that)!

    Napier may well be a "dead man walking".

    If he is then it will be interesting to see who is willing to replace him.

    I'll wager that it is a much smaller pool than people are saying.

    Not an easy job for most people. If any!

    We won't be changing head coaches anytime soon so for now, can we please quit starting new threads for every coach someone thinks would be a good candidate?

    I don't like the current situation at all but let's not beat a dead horse any more than necessary.

    I'm not trying to stifle free speech or conversations but we already have existing threads to put this stuff.

    Thanks!
