As I was saying wobble...... I don't see why people are all up in arms because people have different opinions on a sports forum. It was obvious to me that alot of people were not going to be in love with some of the hires, especially since expectations seem to be set so high. People were originally talking about Stoops, Kelly, and then later Freeze. They were saying that this hire would blow us away and unite the Gator Nation. That did not happen, and the subsequent OC/DC hires did not impress. So most people are in a wait and see mode. Personally, I think we should allow coach Mac to run things his way, even if we do not understand the hires. Its his team and we should support him as he tries to rebuild the Gators. But I also think we should allow people with different opinions to express their views as well. I mean, this thread kinda started with us rolling our eyes at Michigan for thinking they could get Harbaugh to leave the NFL, and there was another thread talking about how much worse they are then we are. Now that they have gotten their guy and made the big splash hire, we now should not talk about it?
I think Law is right about Foley. The game has passed him by and he is stuck in the past playing catch up. Head coaches at elite programs no longer make $3.5MM. Even coaches at middle programs don't make $3.5MM. Nobody is going to leave a decent situation to come to Florida without major bucks like they used to. In the new landscape of college football, being cheap is a program killer.
