Fundamental restructuring of UF football

I just hope we’re not shopping in the retirement home. I’ll try my best to support them either way though.

 

Like Bob Stoops, Coach O or Urban?

 

Did Gundy actually want the job here??

 

Yes, his agent reached out to us was the word.

Mike Gundy showed interest in open SEC job through agent’s letter to AD, per report

 

To say the least. But, of course, you need to score if you're going to try and outscore everyone and play a high line. . . as we saw last week.

 

How is it a pipe dream? We're already past halfway there. Only difference is we don't have binding contracts between player and team. Get that and we can talk about transfer fees. And what's to stop UF from building a football academy, recruiting kids young and creating a pipeline to the varsity team? You're just hung up on the whole "soccer" thing.

 

I suggest we do things the way Georgia is doing it. Their football seems to be doing things quite well these days.

Our administration has become misguided with the way they focus on academics and not football.

 

Mike Gundy does it almost every year to extort more money from T. Boone Pickens. He is never going anywhere.

 

fwiw, T. Boone Pickens died 5yrs ago.

 

At least that would keep UGAG and others from having 100 five star players.

 

Then he really is a vulture Pickens the carcass.

 

It isn't just Stricklin calling all of the shots. Our Athletic Directors consult with many people, including powerful boosters.

Said boosters just happened to have insisted that Steve Spurrier be hired in 1990.

 

I didn't read all five pages of this thread, but did anyone bring up the fact that we probably don't have the NIL funding to attract a top tier coach? Your top coaches are not going to take a job at a program that doesn't give them everything they need to recruit at a high level.

 

I'm sorry, but, I disagree entirely. Admin guys should take a back seat to ANYONE when it comes to selecting coaches. Give me Hating Ass Kiffin!

 

I don’t think you’re even remotely close to half way there, but by all means, do it. What are you waiting for?

 

This structure already exists. Napier just sucks at it

We already have a million employees on our football team. There are already people responsible for recruiting and roster assembly.

The head coach is already the CEO

The key for a good CEO is hiring the setting a vision, right people, setting up the right reporting lines, delegating, and getting out of the way.

Napier just sucks at it
