I like his fire and what he's done as coach at Michigan, but he's no Gator.
Unless I'm mistaken, he's 3-3 against main rivals (OSU, MSU, ND), 1-1 in bowl games, and has zero conference championships. Same as Mac for like twice the salary.

Yeah cause we frequently call people cucks, snowflakes, butthurt, shills, betas, etc. :rolleyes3:

No... usually just stick with gems like Nazi, racist, bigot and homophobe...

I was just kidding anyway 'Sas... Sorry to hit a nerve...

I'm surprised no one mentioned this quote from the article:

Q: How much negative recruiting was out there?

A: “I got it from the Florida fan base, you know, ‘Jake is never going to play here.’ Fortunately I have thick skin and I know those fans are just a small minority, but not every recruit realizes that and some fans could turn them away.”

This is very, very interesting...

No argument there. obviously. However, he's pushed the envelope for his program, shook things up a little throughout NCAA football, and had Michigan football constantly in the news last season. I think he drew more recruits to his program in doing so, although I'm with Jake Allen re: this article. He landed three 5*s, including the consensus(?) #1. As someone else on this thread said, we'll see how he does this season after losing 20 starters.

One could also say he survived such negativity due to a thick head, as opposed to thick skin. Just sayin.
