You can’t get to long term with a title or two. Let the results guide the length. Besides, we all know 50-year roofs aren’t meant to last 50 years.

You have to be burning up the back channels right now, which makes me wonder how willing the university is to undertake searching for a new AD at the same time regardless of my own ill feelings about the present one.

I think the AD situation is on the back burner for this admin. they are so incompetent that they would feel it easy to let Fooley run things for the time being. Remember most are still drunk on his semen and still can't figure out why so many people hate him. I do not believe the admin has done any AD searching and that is their mistake. I am finally of the belief that Strichnine the baseball boy finally just could not handle the noise of everyone telling him that his Cousin Eddie fiasco had to go. This Cousin Eddie BS is solely on him and for that alone he has to go. Just as Fooley should have been shyt canned for Zook, but this admin had no Ballz.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but you could do alot worse than a Kiffin/Ogre combo. Wide open offense, solid defense and excellent recruiting. Young, brash, SOS level cocky. Would he embarrass us from time to time? Absolutely. But there would probably be alot more good than bad. I'm not saying I want him/them, but we could do alot worse.

So you’re leaving open the possibility that we allow an ultimately lame duck AD be in charge of finding our next football coach?

Only two Gator coaches in my lifetime considered "successful" both had massive swagger. Which candidate is cocky enough to fix this? You know the answer.

No chance. His role is going to be akin to Fooley's role when Leyer was hired. Go sit in the closet until summoned to be errand boy to get contract signed. Strichnine has become the new Fooley and then some.

Kiffin is a vagabond. He wouldnt be here more than two years. I dont understand the allure of what amounts to a gimmick. He fizzles everywhere and leaves

He's the Kardashians of college football. Everyone has had a ride on the Kiffin express

That’s even scarier. It leaves it in the hands of a hard-drinking engineer.

Agreed. I think the Strickland mess (baffles me how he's not been fired yet or forced to resign for basically covering up the women's basketball coach harassment) could cock block us from hiring someone great. If you're a potential coaching candidate you have your agent doing DD on UF and the program and their agent will let them know about the Strickland mess and potential to be hired by him, but working for a different AD at any time upcoming if UF finally fires his ass and hires someone new. A new AD could have a totally different vision for the program and possibly a different personality mix than the new head coach.

Bottom line, UF should've axed Strickland end of summer when the women's basketball scandal was revealed.

Ah yes, another guy looking at him 10 years ago, not today. He was 10-3 last year at FAU. He's 9-2 right now. First time Ole Miss has EVER gone 7-0 at home, if they beat MSU next week will be first 10 win regular season ever... yeah, he "fizzles everywhere." Wouldn't have considered him even 3 years ago, absolutely would today because of his total progression over the last 5-7 years (starting with Saban hiring him).

Of all candidates I've seen talked about so far, the one I'd prefer is Kiffy. All of you hung up on his smartass attitude would like him better if he became our smartass. If nothing else you would like the results. :thumbup:

However based on everything I know about our administration I do not believe they will hire Lane Kiffin. :shakehead:

I have to agree with this. Not saying Kiffy is my first choice but it was hard to be humble when your first HC job anywhere was in the NFL after being OC at USC. Then your first HC in college is Tinerc then USCw. Those are not non kosher chopped liver. I firmly believe the USC fiasco along with actually observing a guy like Saban taught him to be somewhat of a head coach.
