[Swamp Donkey]

I cuuunt hear you over the slurp slurp slurp slurp.

Turns out he’s taking a poll on favorite license plates.

Kiffen is incredibly immature.

Can't spell Donkey, Ohio, loser or coward without an O. Now hitch up your thermal long underwear and your snow britches and give it another shot.

FOR THE RECORD: You are NEVER going to criticize or badmouth the UF Administration, Stricklin, Ox or anyone else over their involvement in, or their support for, the decision to offer the job to Napier and not Kiffen, right Bucky?

And you 100% fully support that decision yourself, correct?

The key is to not listen to idiots…well at least try. Otherwise no one would be listening.

I am very positive about this hire. If successful, other teams may do likewise and allow small program coaches to make the leap. I am tired of the same names with the same results...Like Politics

On a side note: This is the approach "minority coaches" need to take...Not what ESPN is trying to force on us. If you can coach, recruit, and are not some reprobate...let's see what you can do.

He’s our coach so he has my support. I’m more concerned with him getting and utilizing back office support on recruiting and player financial/skill development. We need to allocate resources to the players.

Kiffen is incredibly immature.

The most effective form of denial is deflection. Inappropriate? I was just comparing state plates.

I am sure the Ole Miss faithful were jumping all over him for this.

I'm Excited...

OU loses 5-star QB, 3 others amid Riley departure

Now Napier can land all of these players - there's even a Florida WR in there.

If he doesn't they should fire him.

I believe all of them are heading to USCw for some reason.

I still have my anti-Kiffen game day shirt when he was UT coach. I could never see hiring the guy who bragged how great it was going to be to sing Rocky Top at the swamp after they beat us. FYI they got their ass handed to them.

Your post got me wondering: when was the last time Tinerc actually beat UF in the Swamp. I knew it had been a while, but it was longer ago than I remembered: 2003. They really have sucked for a long time.

 

[B52G8rAC]

BR is a better place than Okie period.

Lots more talent in La.

And some football players too. Just sayin'

I was at that game using an industry buddy’s seat in the Bull Gator box. I’ve never heard as much cursing as the second half of that loss.

Don’t disagree on the talent and I believe that in any other time in history you’d be right. LSU’s current roster sucks, though, and their fan base is impatient. Their rebuild is going to resemble ours in a lot of ways. I revel in their woes.

Ahhh... "talent in La"... not "TALENT" in La... I thought he meant something else, apparently Coach O did too...

THIRTY MINUTES without a Donk post!!

Somebody get ahold of the Guinness person!

No, not the guy from the Book of World Records -- the bartender! Tell him I'll have another pint while we're waiting.

Geez...I actually agree with Donk...AGAIN...scary

 

[NOLAGATOR]

Had what lined up exactly? To be rejected by Jimbo then Riley then Aranda and then have option number 4 hired by Florida? What kind of wizardry is LSU trying to pull, their reaching Tenn levels of embarrassment.

Why don't you just wait...Tue or Wed. Riley did not want the SEC.

And why are you so concerned? If LSU is so bad...It only helps UF.

Concerned , why the fuchs would I be concerned? You said LSU had everything lined up before they fired coach O and I'm not disagreeing that they did because I have no idea. I'm just saying if they did indeed have everything lined up over 45 days ago then they're really bad at it.

This was the 2015 Alabama staff:

Let's hope Sling Blade can put together a crew like that one -- with Kiffin, Smart, Tucker, Cristobal and Napier, there were five future P5 head coaches on that staff, not including Saban himself. No wonder they won the National Championship.

 

[Gulfstream]

please tell me when Lane made a good career move.

Honestly....When Saban said yes.
