Reading this thread, I feel like Paulie when he finds out that the wire Pus was wearing provided the feds evidence on the calling card scam that he wasn’t in on.

Would at least one of you geniuses who think you can do Foley's job 10 times better, please give me a list of all the top tier football programs in the country that has not hired multiple head football coaches there were busts? It won't be any SEC school. How about a BIG10, Big 12, PAC 12 or least of all the ACC. Give it a rest, you are embarrassing yourself and the Gator Nation by your ignorance. Foley is human and thus fallible. He has built the number one rated NCAA athletic business and you idiots keep spitting on him.
Interesting that most of the Foley :nutswinger:are gone but not this guy. When he's not jerking it to pictures of Foley and the new baseball stadium he still finds time to post.

I found most amusing the dislikes to Donkey by everyone’s favorite - jhbyrd. He didn’t join until 2018 to come defend Mac. But, he went back and disliked 2014 posts on a thread that was not bumped until yesterday.

Don't forget about Foley's interview, where he talks about the Butters hiring.

Where is the OP? Curious what his hindsight take would be now...

Fair question, glad you guys dug me up from the “forgotten favorites” heap to provide an update. At the time, I was all-in on Foley, due mostly to his long track record of presiding over multiple titles in multiple sports. Even looking back now, his resume’ of accomplishments while at UF is remarkable.

Having said that, I was not taking into account some of the things Foley was not doing as AD. I was not as aware as I should have been about the antiquated state of UF facilities. We all recall Foley’s doctrine of not getting into an arms race with other programs over facilities. In hindsight, he should have been leading the arms race; see Clemson, Bama, UGA and others. We’re just now repositioning ourselves to make up for that bad judgment. I also didn’t account for the idea that someone like Scott Stricklin could come in and take the program to an entirely different level. When I was complimenting Foley, I wasn’t imagining Stricklin.

I’m still not as unforgiving on Foley’s hires as some others. Muschamp was forgivable, Mac was a total flop, really horrible hire. And I regret ever defending Mac or Foley in that entire situation. However, while Foley blew it with Mac and Muschamp, he can always hold his head high for Meyer and Donovan.

Fast forward to now, I’m very pleased with Stricklin, the man hasn’t made a bad move yet in my opinion. Great leader in every facet, Foley’s time came and went, Stricklin is what we needed.
