Painfully obvious by now.

Isn't "the admin" the UAA? Aren't they a separate entity (w/ the obvious oversight from above)? In fact, they have their own budget and make athletic decisions pretty much on their own. I remember when I was part of the Gator Club system (as a club president and BOD member) we would go there for meetings/conferences once a year and it was a joke among the clubs that the UAA was referred to as "The Firm" (like in the Tom Cruise movie) because they were pretty much ruthless.
I don't get it at all.
I read the coachingticker site daily (and I usually post stuff in the Coaching Changes at other schools thread if there is something that SEC/UF fans might be interested in). I'm amazed at some of the hires.
For example;
Meyer fires his OC and brings in the former head coach at a P5 school.
LSU is going after the USC RB coach (and USC returns a hell of a team next year).
Taggert got Cristobol to go to the other side of the country AND hired Jim Leavett (former USF head coach) as his DC AND hired Louisville's DB coach AND Colorado's Safties coach.
Saban hires 2 former D1 head coaches (Sarkisian & Locksley) to fill openings.
Hugh Freeze hired UNC's DL coach AND LSU's ST's coach.
Butch just hired Brady Hoke, 2 time former D1 head coach.
Matt Rhule (Baylor) hires former OC at Temple to be his QB coach.
Maryland (Durkin) just pulled Kentucky's DL coach.
Louisville hired Mike Summers (P5 to P5 move).
LSU hired Matt Canada from Pitt as OC (imo, the BEST coordinator hire this entire off-season by ANY team).
UNC hired Texas A&M's DB coach.
Colorado hired Kentucky's DC.
Luke Fickell hired former SEC head coach Joker Phillips at Cincinnati.

This is the Urban Meyer coaching tree taking care of each other here:
Mississippi State: Texas State offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Brett Elliott will rejoin the Mississippi State staff to coach quarterbacks, according to the Clarion-Ledger and multiple reports. Elliott spent one year at Texas State after one year at James Madison, and he was an offensive quality control assistant at MSU from 2012-14.
(Everette Withers was at Ohio State w/ Urban....took the JMU job, bringing Elliott w/ him....then Withers got the Texas State job, taking Elliott w/ him. Withers built the team at JMU that just won the 1AA National Championship under their first year coach, who came from Citadel).

This makes no sense. Why is he leaving? Money? Treatment? Working conditions? Poor leadership? What would cause him to leave UF for SC?
We need to bolster this support staff and pay enough to keep a guy if he's good.

Got to be honest, I wish my drunken binges would have led to the success he's had.

@NickdelaTorreGC: Drew Hughes has been working his tail off in recruiting, doing the job of three people. He deserved a raise. #Gators are lucky to keep him

What if Bama hires Chip Kelly...?
I doubt Saban would do that and I don't think those two could work together, but that would blow some minds.

@BruceFeldmanCFB: Names I'm told could get consideration for #Alabama OC: Mark Helfrich, Chip Kelly & George Godsey who is tight with OL coach Brent Key.
