Kuby was good people. Notice he never got banned even at the old joint.

Kuby loved himself some Ron Zook though.

Would be funny if Green Bay wins the Super Bowl this year and Zook gets a ring.

"Lack of urgency" has never been a formula for success in business and I doubt that it is for successful head coaches. I dunno, maybe McElwain will surprise us all with one or two great hires, but the clock is ticking and NSD is rapidly approaching.
Donkeys don't do anything fast.

I think our strategy is to wait until Satan is fired, then hope they hire Smart or Will Duncecap.

This is exactly what I am feeling. Even the chatter on here is getting redundant because we are making no moves of note in the football area. Does Mac really feel as though everything is ok and we will just stay they last 3 games each year blowout route?

Mac is the tortoise. Slow and steady wins the race. Except he won't win.

It doesn't matter who he hires, I'm sure sites like Gatorcountry already have the story written - just waiting to fill in the name and add some biographical/previous coaching stop info - telling us how McElwain made the greatest hire of any program this entire off-season. Honestly, it's going to surprising at this point whoever it is. I think he's trying to get a "splash" hire at OL, but knows he has Ingalls as a fall-back. The other opening, who knows.....but there still the lingering question: why is Nord still on this staff? (honestly, why was Nord ever hired in the first place??)

Except, when they go to kick you in the ballz. Which, is what the last 2 seasons of Florida Football have been. Musschump was the gut punch to get us reeling before the Foley/Donkey nut shot.

Torrian was a great hire. Maybe the best hire of the offseason.

JuJuan Seider would be a homerrun also.

If he is let go in the next couple of years we'll all be able to point to this moment in time. Having lost two coaches (without any replacement named) during the most crucial month of recruiting is beyond stupid if you ask me! Our class as of today is ranked behind Maryland,Kentucky and USCe (whick is beyond un-fu*king- acceptable) for the University of Florida. If Mac knew these coaches were leaving (or being pushed out) he should of had replacements lined up and on the trail already because Other teams are adding/subtracting coaches daily while Mac sits on his a$$ and just tells the recruits that we"ll have new coaches soon. Well... soon isn't good enough especially since we're entering the final weeks before signing day! If the spots aren't filled soon signing day will be the latest example of how lazy,arrogant,and incompetent this dude really is!
And don't forget that Nord is still around...for whatever reason that may be...

Could be that Gator Nation, as a collective, has been doing some really naughty sh!t and it is divine retribution, if you have a religious stance. Or, it could be just cosmic happenstance, if you don't. Regardless, we are currently living inside the dumpster fire that is Florida Football.

I blame SAS for blaspheming Tebow.

The lack of urgency seems to flow to the team also. I keep thinking maybe McElwain is different in front of the team than he does for the press conferences, but then I see the team play and they don't always have the urgency I expect. It seems like the team sometimes takes on his laid back attitude when playing and that hurts us!
