Does This Explain Why Jim is Unhappy?

[GatorInKnox]

UF may well and rightly choose to live happily with its reputation, but be sure that there are consequences. My State of residence deals with the consequences of having a Confederate flag in the upper left corner of its state flag daily.
Here's a concrete example. National accounting firm has a management position in Mississippi. Wants to fill it from its Florida office. Offers it to one senior CPA who turns it down as does a second
Loves Florida too much and they abhor Mississippi. Third CPA takes promotion finds she and her family adore the state. Likes her job so much she quickly gets further promotions and raises. Love the golf courses, fishing, neighbors, etc. Now neither MS nor the firm lost. Got a good manager and citizen. What they did lose was options. Had to take a third choice.
Here's the point. If UF's reputation forces a third choice for our next coach we might still get a good coach and the right man, but I guarantee that Ox and half the board will melt down at having been refused twice.

I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t even almost follow that.

I quite understand. It was too long for you and NV to read.

Yeah, sure.......... orrrrrrrrrr maybe more like....

So you’re the one I bought those from??

SOS left for the biggest nfl contract in history. Fans? Total bull spit.

#fakenews

Spurrier mentioned the fans when he left. Something about 10 wins a season not being good enough for them. Today he says that the NFL was just something he always wanted to try.

Apparently the two of us are the only ones who remembered that.

I am going off memory but I felt as he was including himself in his thoughts...something to the effect of..."wins were a relief..." something close to that.

There are multiple period piece articles that allude to his love of the NFL and his out period where he could explore NFL opportunities. I am pretty sure the Skins had contacted him behind closed doors.

But...to your point...he hated the fans so much he came BACK to college and even expressed interest in returning to those same fans that ran him off? Dude...come on.

C'mon Rex. You know that saying you love the NFL is the polite way to exit your Alma mater. The fact that he complained about the fans at all is absolutely definitive.

No way. Fans are the same everywhere(except probably Duke football fans lol). There's another quote that I can't ever find but he flat out said that his plan was only to coach college for ten years or so and then try to get to the nfl. It's out there but I'm not sure where. I am a Steve-head and I loved his quotes.

Steve nearly left in 96 for Bucs. It might have been better for us. We would have had Stoops for two decades and he did a good job keeping a great OC on staff (starting with Leach?.... maybe). He would have had homefield advantage in Florida instead of trying to recruit kids out of Texas to go to Okie.

So somebody told the fans, this conduit is required for such news-rumors to pop up. This conduit guy told those fans that Spurrier told him that he didn't like the fans, err his fans? Spurrier ain't trivial enough to turn to some fans to announce he doesn't like them? I think fake news has been fostered long ago ... it was called made-up gossip.
