I also think most candidates are gonna want to know about the outcome of the DEBIT CARD coverup and IF it will also have NCAA implications of UF being on probation for possible lack of institutional control. That needs to be over with soon

Absolutely unbelievable that Stricklin said that Mac has still not told the players even though he’d allowed to. Embarrassing.

Two firings in less than three years will probably be considered as a dumpster fire by most coaching candidates.

I've never turned down a job because the last guy was a nincompoop. And were talking dollars per hour, not annualized millions. Lol

Well, we know he can handle a presser. Let's see how well he handles the task of bringing "the best available coach" to Florida. There'll be plenty of competition. Make it happen, bro.

We are a dumpster fire... You keep making these comments as if they will scare a good coach away. You could not be more wrong.
that's right. It was exactly the right time and the right thing to do. I like this guy Stricklin so far. Now let's watch him hit a homer. All the coaches out their who are interested know what coaching a great university, with great expectations is like.

Lack of institutional control? Is there an NCAA investigation? I haven’t heard anything. It’s already been handled legally. They just have to go through student conduct.

If I'm Chip Kelly, all I want to know is low the AC goes in the practice tent and whether lunches include Boar's Head.

Nope, Kelly also needs to know, "Championship experience with integrity". He mentioned it several times. And I personally love the phrase.

I can see a big smirk on Chip's face when he says that. Sorry, Rocket, I'm old and jaded. :lol:

Just saying what SEC network is saying......almost verbatim

Well, if so, they are wrong too. Elite coaches of elite programs aren't scared of a challenge. Elite coaches believe they can win. Like the AD just said: UF is a flagship program, with 3 national titles in the last 25 years, in the state with the most talent in the country, and the most passionate fans in sports. If someone is scared to coach at UF with all of those working in their favor... we don't want them.

NCAA hasn't even sniffed it yet? They're waiting for Student Code of Conduct outcome

I really like Scott Stricklin after tonight. Did anybody else get the feeling at the end that Mullen had already told him not to bother calling? I dunno why, but his voice kinda sounded like that was already a non-deal to me.:dunno:
Mullen would take the job, he's just not on this AD's list. After all, he knows Mullen :), Besides Dooley said that if we hire Mullen his wife wouldn't come to any more Florida games and we can't have that.

Please tell me he isn't going to wait until the season is over. Are recruits just supposed to hope the new coach fits their style? I mean, come on. I get waiting until the season is over is the way it has always been done. But with the early signing period, that is stupid to do now.
He doesn't have any choice. Frost isn't going to bail on his players while they are in line for an undefeated season and a BCS or whatever they call the non-playoff top bowl games. It's a great thing that he says we are going to wait b/c it means there's a good chance it is Frost.

Ever heard of the word due dilligence? Most all people in that 1/2 of 1% income levels do that! If I were a candidate, I sure as hell wouldn't walk into a situation like that unless I was there just for the money. Is that the kind of coach you want? No, I didn't think so.

Really. Lighten up. It was the right choice and it looks like our ADmin was just waiting for the opportunity to pounce on this wifto.
