More important, Florida does not have a state income tax. This gives us the same advantage over all those other places.

Same as Florida. Nebraska state income tax 6.84% ($58,000+) = $342,000 on $5M salary

They just raised our state income tax 32% in Illinois to pay for state pension short fall....hmmm I miss no state income tax...but then again, I make a lot more money in Chicago than I ever did in Orlando. Guess it is a wash. Wages are much higher than in Florida that traditionally under pays....

96.9 Orlando was commenting on whether the next coach can handle the same pressure as MAC had of a NC coach in Spurrier down the hall and a former AD down the hall in Foley with both giving you hints about how to run an offense. Could that be a problem for the next coach? Comments were that Foley is still too involved.

Three or four million dollar jobs are for the most part not for wimps. So it will take a strong personality to handle UF's job as it always has.
Spurrier has seemingly done an excellent job of coming to UF being the ambassador he was hired to be and not interfering in the football staff's job. He did not allow himself to even be mentioned as an interim. As far as I have read he did not criticize the McElwain staff and has been supportive of them listening to play ideas from him whether that is just a story or not.
Foley on the other hand has a long history of sticking his nose in football staff decision including what OC to hire etc. My biggest worry with Foley was that he would not want to admit that McElwain was a 3rd failed head football coaching hire, but that problem did not arise. As far as advice for the new coach, I am not sure what standing an ex-AD has other than a fan. Coaches get lots of advice from fans and ignoring fan advice is part of the job.
The good news is this can be part of the screening process at UF. People to weak to take the job with Spurrier and Foley still around the UAA are too weak to do the job. So that they self select out of the pool of candidates just makes finding the right guy easier.

That Omaha radio guy Gary Sharp said today he is surprised just how confident the UF camp is that they can get Frost to Gainesville. TIFWIW, but a lot of Nebraska people say this Sharp guy is pretty clued in to everything Nebraska. He co hosts a radio show with a former Cornhusker player.

The Norvell to Arkansas talk is similar to the Frost to Nebraska talk....Norvell is from Arkansas, attended Central Arkansas. It makes sense to put the two together, plus Memphis is about a 15 minute drive to the border. I do think Norvell would have to think long and hard about UF vs. Arkansas (even Tenn vs. Arkansas). But I imagine if Arkansas wants him they'll make a strong push to get him. I'd rather any of these hot up-and-coming coaches go to the SEC West vs. the East.

I really hope we get Frost. I desperately need some good news.

The reality is that right now both Nebraska and Arkansas have full time football coaches. They may be the proverbial dead men walking but neither has been fired as yet. I know ethical behavior is not necessarily a part of big time college athletics but I wonder whether a coaching candidate would be bothered by overtures from a school without an opening.
If the school's representatives said "oh, don't worry, we're going to fire Coach Billy Bob at the end of the season but he doesn't know it yet"....should that bother the coach being approached about the opening that hasn't yet opened? There is clearly a "coaching fraternity" in that industry. Does it give the candidate any hesitation to know that "representatives" of a school are gauging his interest for a job that isn't yet open? Is it in any way unethical?
Perhaps it's no big deal and coaches know it's all part of the business. It would seem to give Florida an advantage to approach potential candidates and say "we already have an opening and we need a coach". Just wondering?

Well, the Arkansas job is certainly better than the Nebraska job - it should be a no-brainer for Frost. As for Norvell, Arkansas has superior facilities to Florida and a pretty nutty fan base. The moment Saban leaves, Arkansas could be a player again.

Bama is nuts as all hell. You know this. I know this. The Pope knows this.
They tasted superior life with Satan. It certainly won't stop with him. They will go hire then next 10 million dollar coach.
Then you have auburn, aTm, LSU
In the east you have Georgia (
) Tennessee (. 
) South Carolina ( 
), misery (. 
). Kentucky (. 
) and then for life 
Vanderbilt.You make Florida good you have one tough game for the sec every year

Don't know how it actually works but I assume the coach is only talking to his agent. So the agent asks his client something like "If the Arkansas job came open at the end of the year would you be interested? I think a could get you $Xm". Coach says "I'd do it for $Ym". Everything else is between the school and the agent until the job comes open.

Frost has heard of Ox decided fck
Nebraska hasn't fired their coach, but has already sent Frost's agent an offer.... it's part of the business. You think we waited until McElwain was gone to talk to agents?
