Scott Stricklin is the new AD

[williston_gator]

Florida: Multiple outlets have reported today that Kansas State AD John Currie is in Gainesville closing in on the open AD position at Florida. Currie has tweeted that he’s in Dallas at the D-I ADs meetings. Despite these reports, sources in profession tell FootballScoop that Mississippi State AD Scott Stricklin is considered the lead candidate and could be closing in on the job very soon.

Wow, neither of these two candidates are very impressive... I hope these are false reports.

Well, to be fair, we're probably down to our 5th or lower choice. Similar to the Muschamp hire. What could go wrong?

BMF, you are probably dead on with your comment!

@AndrewSpiveyGC: . @GatorCountry has been told that no AD has been offered the job yet. We're also told that another candidate is the lead guy. Not Currie

- i thought Spurrier was brought home to raise money - why do we need this guy?







- unless it's so Spurrier can tell him what to do.

No one wants Foley looking over their shoulder. The guy is screwing us from his retirement home. Cut the freaking cord!

@ZachAbolverdi: I've confirmed @DanWolken's report that both John Currie and Scott Stricklin are in Dallas today. Currie not at UF as previously reported.

 

[williston_gator]

@FootballScoop: I think G Byrne was called & he politely declined advancing the discussions (different from turning job down).

 

[williston_gator]

@FootballScoop: Also really don’t expect Foley to be looking over the shoulder of next AD; but am not close to the situation.

 

[williston_gator]

@onlygators: @FootballScoop He'll be there to fund raise and shake hands. Foley knows better than to interfere with a new AD. He's choosing to leave.

The biggest issue here is that Foley hanging around has handcuffed our ability to hire top talent. This is not a good thing. I am a fan of Foleys, but he should recognize this issue and step away.

@FootballScoop: Same as I’m hearing. Again, I’m not close to Florida athletic dept though. Have seen others report differently.

@DanWolken: I’m not confirming the accuracy of this, but I will say this has been relayed to me over the last week by very smar… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/778251752739074048

@DanWolken: Florida has engaged and re-engaged several candidates since Bubba Cunningham changed his mind.

@DanWolken: I should also add that Scott Stricklin isn’t in Gainesville either. Also in Dallas, according to someone who is actually there.

@DanWolken: I wrote about that issue a couple weeks ago https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...-foley-coaching-carousel-art-briles/90094134/

I don't think Foley will do that, but the fact that he might do that keeps potential candidates away...IMO
