This. It was a money issue, pure and simple. To pay his buyout, then watch the entire team hit the portal, losing the 6 recruits for the 2025 class, then hire a new coach who is most likely another Sun Belt coach, pay him $9m/year, have to somehow recruit a new team via high school and majority portal players AND then come up with another $30m in NIL money is too much. The problem is even with NIL, no one wants to come to UF. They want NIL and championships. Vandy is more successful than we are right now. Kentucky is leaps and bounds better than we are (They have been to more bowl games over the last 10 years than we have). Florida is going to end this season with 4 straight losing seasons, which has never been done in program history and it's guaranteed to extend to 5 next season.
