    I hope you’re right. I also hope we didn’t ask him

    We’ve got to get Stricklin the hell out of here if he really asked Meyer to come back. And it would serve his ass right to be turned down. I truly hope this is just unfounded gossip

    The more you push back on Urban, the more I like him to come back. Like fading a bad bettor :ninja2:

    If you’re forming your opinions contingent upon my opinions, you’ve got a bigger problem than who our next coach is

    The board is having a Sunday meeting tomorrow once you lose the boosters( big money donors) , then you lose the fan base. The schools' powers that be , will cut ties tomorrow. Get an interim HC like Meyer, to save face maybe win a few games, kids will play for a coach like him. CALLOWAY is an experienced OC runs an air raid offense. Let him tweak Billy ball using the guys we got, play the hell out of your young talent.maybe play good enough to show promise . Next Hire has to be a great hire period.

    Nah it’s all good - but you’re better off betting the pass line when I’m throwing :cool:

    He's toast. Everyone knows this. Only mystery is who is the next man up for the job.

    I am in agreement that BN is done at UF. I don't know what the advantage would be towards keeping BN until the end of the year vs firing him now. Getting beat like that by a second-string quarterback and a first-year coach at TAMU was one of the most embarrassing losses I have ever witnessed in the Swamp! After the loss to Miami, I realized BN's tenure was over. I have no confidence in this staff, including the one who hired Billy. At some point, we are in need of cleaning house.

    I don't understand all this hire Urban chatter. He didn't hesitate when asked if he would consider returning to UF if given an unlimited budget. His immediate answer was no!
