Tebow and Kelly......there is a team where you could recruit the kid and mom sll in one!

Hmmm...no buy-out.....Could get at a lower salary because he's still being paid by NFL (I had not considered that), AND offensive genius. I'm listening

Best line from that interview: "If I can get Florida and I don't take it, then where am I gonna end up?"

With the exception of a few, do you really think that today's generation would respond to a Tebow? I mean what young person wants to go win the game, then go home and pray all the rest of the weekend?

How much has being a Christian hindered Mark Richts success as a coach? Gator nation is overrun with morons, I swear!

"It's alot easier to recruit at one of these programs (Florida) than Eugene" People forget that. Oregon is attractive to hippies and I guess hippie chicks might be attractive to athletes, but many urban kids won't like area or vibe.

In the end, Kelly had to spend a lot of time in Texas and Florida to land a very small number of top athletes.

Of course, as a position coach, Frost undoubtedly did more traveling than Kelly and he mentions being home at night after driving to meet a recruit as one of his big positives about being in Fla also. It's a long drive from Nebraska to Texas or Florida also. Big programs have jets, but not one for each assistant. Those guys do a lot of flying commercial and you know it sucks to do it every day for 6 or 8 months.

I bet plenty but I don't see him doing that. He also is not technically qualified for that position and has many other things that he is working on. Not happening.

I could not find it but I think the entire quote is more like this

Hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard.

Could be wrong as my memory is not perfect.

Pat Dooley on his podcast said that he's been told Norveille is off the table in the coaching search. It's Dooley so take it for what it's worth.

I got a feeling Wednesday might be a historic day for The Gator Nation.

I think it was something like this?

Edison famously said, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

Tesla’s response, recalling the time he spent working for Edison, was, “If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety percent of his labor.”

Tesla = SOS

@jackstripling: Just had @uf and @UCF presidents in same room. When I asked Fuchs if he was stealing Coach Frost from UCF, Hitt interjected, "We know where you live and we'll kill your dogs." @GatorsFB

Which week?

 

[g8tr72]

Which week?

This week. I'm guessing the CK hire is publicly acknowledged tomorrow and the introductory Press Conference on Friday.

Thats sad. I would have preferred him for the #3. Is Jimmy Sexton his agent?

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Norvell is going to make some team very pleased.

THIS Wednesday?

Hopefully it’s Arky and not Tenn.
