What many of you probably don't realize is that L-Boy was masturbating to every reply he got and the dislikes put him over the top. It's what he does.
Long ago I dropped in on the PF (a sour mistake). I read some L-Boy v Divits "battles" - so divits knows L-Boy well.
Divits' description-conclusion of L-Boy's self-flattering is precisely right. L-Boy's real name is Jack Zoff.



Frost did it in one year with great success. UCF's offense under O'Leary was nothing at all like what they are running now.
Most accurately, I think divits is emphasizing that: if Frost can make his offense work with UCF's skill players, he can certainly excel with the athletes UF can provide. Nobody has made that supporting statement yet. (hope I'm not usurping your voice, divits?)

Just heard Matt Campbell is very near top of our list. WTF? Is he our next up if we swing and miss on Frost/Kelly? Does UT firing Butch make things more complicated now?

Watching a fun offense in football is just a little bit exciting, don't you think? Who wants every single game to be a boring slog? You might as well watch the sewing Olympics.
Agreed. Football is entertainment and if it is not entertaining it is a problem. It’s a business and you better play to you customers.

Doesn't change anything, I am sure UT has been working back channels for at least a couple weeks.

So ... we back on the "Chip Kelly is our coach isn't BS bandwagon" again?

This is a win win (or lose lose .. but I try to be positive). If it is true we get Chip Kelly!! If it isn't true we can make fun of Franz!!

Franz used to be a sports writer (many, many years ago, like in the 70s) for the Savannah Morning News. Our Savannah Gator Club has had him as our guest speaker for two of our annual banquets, both during the Meyer years. He is a folksy kind of guy, who loves to tell tales, but given what he does for a living now, I wonder how "connected" he is, and how much of what he says is pure BS. We haven't had him back in quite awhile, and given the number of real reporters who cover the Gators are out there (yes, I know how everyone here seemingly hates Pat Dooley, I like him, we had him in 2016, and would have him again), there's no need for us to invite Franz again. I just don't know how much of what Franz says is true.

Beard, right, with Buddy Martin wrapping up a UF win in 2009.

I have to think that, as is the case with negotiating most big contracts, there is first an agreement in principle on the job and some structure, but the devil is always in the details (contract). Nothing is final until it's signed, and the "back and forth" in contract negotiation can take a long time, especially when every redline is a negotiation. I've seen plenty of "handshake agreements" fall apart in the contract negotiation/finalization stage.

This just reeks of a "handshake agreement" that is still in doubt until all of the contract work is done (and oh, by the way, shrewd donkeys will leverage each of those redline negotiations, and keep all of the other fish on the line just in case the first line breaks). It could also all be a smokescreen.
