Scott Stricklin kills it in press conference

NCAA hasn't even sniffed it yet? They're waiting for Student Code of Conduct outcome

Where have you seen this? Link?

He doesn't have any choice. Frost isn't going to bail on his players while they are in line for an undefeated season and a BCS or whatever they call the non-playoff top bowl games. It's a great thing that he says we are going to wait b/c it means there's a good chance it is Frost.

Urban didn’t either, but Still took the job.

Beginning the search for a new head coach on Nov. 1 is like having an extra week to prepare for an opponent. It's a yuuuuuuge advantage. There's no excuse for us not finding a truly viable candidate.

Let's just say I know a guy , who knows a guy.

Ever heard of the word due dilligence? Most all people in that 1/2 of 1% income levels do that! If I were a candidate, I sure as hell wouldn't walk into a situation like that unless I was there just for the money. Is that the kind of coach you want? No, I didn't think so.

You don't know ****. I'll bet you whatever you want that we will not receive any NCAA punishment for the CC scams

SS seemed giddy during that whole presser. He looked like a guy who just had a 10 pound wart cut off his ass. In agreement with all on here who heard the right message and tone from him.

I thought it was a great press conference. Observations:

1. He was professional when discussing Mac as he should be. No overt criticism just move on.
2. "Fun", he get's it.
3. He worked the press pool on rumors. Good move.
4. I like his emphasis on making it exciting for players, staff, and fans.
5. Based on his comments of "evaluating as you go" and Mac's demeanor this year, this has been in the works for some time. Monday was probably the last straw.

Go Gators!

I agree completely.
I thought he did a great job of dodging the specifics he needed to while still allowing us to hear and feel what we needed to.
I was not real excited about him when he was hired, other than him not being Foley, but I was impressed tonight.

He might just get this right.....

Well, we know he can handle a presser. Let's see how well he handles the task of bringing "the best available coach" to Florida. There'll be plenty of competition. Make it happen, bro.

I've got confidence in him. Dude fired mac 6 games into his tenure. Jumped at the first chance. I'm giving him props right now.

Makes sense

Keep it coming Amber, you are hilarious.
These guys never played a down this year even though no formal charges were filed for weeks. UF went overboard with precaution to ensure that nothing would impact the team or the NCAA.
I am sure that FSU "I am praying for a misdemeanor" would have handled this the same way.

 

[Swampfire]

I think he had a great presser. I didn't expect much of him, thinking him Foley's tool. He handled this better than any press conference I can remember from that arrogant ass Foley though.

+1 for making the right noises
+1000 for firing Hee Haw

Now he needs to go make the slam dunk hire.

I don't know an Amber who doesn't do porn. Maybe she's worth looking into.

 

[FireFoley]

Outside of any specific answer Stricklin gave, it was nice to see an AD that can speak relatively well and handle the room, unlike Fooley's stuttering and stammering.

[OcalaGator83]

Really liked what I heard from Stricklin. Was obvious this was coming but NumbButts gave them a giant opening. Now we'll see what he does, but it seems obvious he's going for a splash hire.

 

[78]

I hear Fuchs was the one up in arms, but I'll give Stricklin his credit where it's due.

After I rake him over the coals for extending Mac four months ago.

He did the right thing exactly when it should have been done. Piss poor coaching examples aside, when McElwain embarrassed the entire community of Gator fans and supporters while trying to elicit sympathy/deflect criticism of the job he was doing with unfounded allegations, it became time to change immediately. There was some fear that he might be a toadie for JF. I believe he has put that notion to rest at this point. Kudos for taking care of the first half of the problem. Now go get us a good one and take care of the second half.
