**Buzz Buzz Buzz** - What are we even Doering?

A lateral move would be an equal prospect

4 years of a bad coach would be the same as 4 more years of Napier

I get the point if we keep Napier we can fire him next year while a new guy is locked in for a few. But hiring a good coach is never easy and not a high probability for success. Thats going to be true every year

 

1 of our 2 best presidents since I was at UF in the early 80's was not a career educator (although he was an alumnus so probably understood UF and FL politics as well as anyone). Believe it or not, sometimes highly credentialed candidates from other fields can be effective in that role. Personally, I would rather hire an achiever in any field as long as that someone was an alumnus of UF in their past, rather than the parade of eggheads with no connection to UF that we've hired in that role since Lombardi was sacked.

 

Lmao. He's not highly credentialed. He ran a 1500 student school in Nebraska. Just because he was asst secy of HHS and was a senator doesn't make him qualified.

I didn't say anything about wanting an egg head. I wanted someone with the experience necessary to elevate UF further. I wanted an open search of the best candidates in the US.

Instead we got a shotgun appointment orchestrated by certain interests. One where an open search and multiple candidates was replaced with a single candidate reeking of political favoritism. It's just like the parks project that got torpedoed.

And this all happened under the watch of the BOT. And it stink to high heaven when it happened.

The proof of his lack of qualifications was in the pudding. An embarassment to the University of Florida. Dollars to donuts he was forced out.

More importantly, the process was subverted and was a joke.

 

75gator mentioned it and I concur.
if there really is a whale in waiting then it could be referring to Lane but he is not a whale but
Gruden is most likely. I know for a fact that a huge booster who is on th Uaa board lives in same city as Gruden

 

Sam Pittman!

 

I know a guy who lives in the same city as Desantis. Pretty sure that means we’re getting tickets to Disney World.

 

Only one?

 

Listen to you...

Like 2 mil/ year is chump change...and like coaching @#$%&n football is rocket science...

Like so many others, you've lost a great deal of perspective.

Note--Steve Spurrier *earned* his way up to 2 Million per year --and by earn, I mean he put in the time, sweat, tears and effort, to add value to thr school's name, via sweat equity, to warrant that kind of pay.

Yall want to quadruple down on stupid, and pay another *name* 6x that per year, and double/triple that with sides... and leave us susceptible to getting played for chumps yet again.

MO MONEY!!! THATS THE TICKET!!!
