Coach Donovan in Gainesville w/ Coach Golden

It's not like coaches say anything interesting on Twitter (give or take a Kiffin). Golden isn't going to tweet, "OK, here's a Twitter thread on how we're going to attack Kentucky. Cal's hair isn't going to know what hit it."

If you follow a couple Gator-oriented sportswriters, they probably follow Golden, and they'll retweet anything interesting he says onto your timeline.

 

Fair enough, but it is a gauge.
LSU's new coach has almost twice as many I believe and UCF's Johnny Dawkins has 4x that many.

I was one of the guys that rode with Mike White, but I now think he made the fanbase apathetic.

 

McMahon has 17.5K followers and nearly 8K Tweets. Golden is at 14.1K followers and about 1/8 the # of Tweets. Also, these coaches aren't starting from scratch when they get these jobs. Dawkins has been around a long time. Golden had very few followers when he got the UF job. Of Golden and McMahon, I would almost certainly bet Golden saw a far greater increase in % of followers since both were hired.

 

It's oftentimes the type of fans that become followers. Gator softball has more than twice the number of followers as Gator baseball.

 

Judging folks by how many Twitter followers they have is stupid.

 

Who did that?

I was saying his lack of followers compared to other coaches may be a sign of apathy in the fanbase, its in no way an indictment on coach Golden.
