I've been holding off on posting this for some time, but it's accurate. It's well known in Florida inner circles but everyone swore to an oath of secrecy for the better good. You'll find no links on it anywhere. I was fortunate to be at the right Florida Field urinal at the right time to hear it all.
Supposedly Foley entered the locker room immediately after the crushing 34-32 defeat to Tennessee that ended the team's SEC and national title hopes. Players were naturally quite upset, and that included Graham, who sat in street clothes at his locker openly sobbing. Foley tried to come up to offer congratulations on the season, and he mentioned something about Hoke's run defense. Spurrier came bolting across the room and asked Foley to leave. There were heated words and apparently Berlin, who doubled as Spurrier's personal concierge, had to separate the two. There was no saving the relationship at that point.

I know of no 2 men that exercise power that have never come close to fisticuffs. I also know very few men who have not resolved those differences. Women on the other hand, that is a different story.

Seriously? This entire program from top to bottom is Foley's success. The proof is even in the Olympics. As a country UF would have finished near the top ten. You can argue all day that FB and BB are the only sports that matter and get an amen from
but UF has a reputation as a national power in many areas and is only recently removed from the BIG 2.......patience grasshopper.

Maybe it is basically still the PF for you. You still make constant excuses for losers and failures.

Dude, no one gives too little shyts about the volleyball, curling, and lawn darts teams. No one. Total attendance of all those doesn't equal the number of reporters at the spring game.
Football pays the bills, all the bills. If you fvkk up football three times, you run out of money for the lawn dart team.

Well one day when you get that bama or UT type of AD and we get fckn hammered for stupidity (make no mistake a bama or UT can weather it but UF is despised) it will happen...........and then tell me what a douche JF was then. If you remember how bad it was here after Pell then you will know what we mean. The price of that success was crushing (even though pell didnt do anything those ckcskers around the SEC were doing then and KEPT DOING FOR YEAARS)

Well, there is that. No one can say that Fooley got us on probation. Of course, pretty much every other AD can say that also, even the current ones at Tinerc and Bammer you mentioned.
Then again, several teams went through probation years without going 4-8 and losing to 1AA teams. Or having rosters with only 55-60 scholarship players as we did recently.

Look, I don't dislike those kids. They sweat for us, too. I'm proud when they do well and many teams have.
However, financially speaking, football is all that matters.
You want to keep Fooley? Then make him Emeritus AD/Asst AD for Nonprofit Sports. Just keep his paws out of football and the football budget. I'd be fine with that.
