Mac quit on this team. He told his agent to start looking for a landing spot before the first game. Then he threw all of Gator Nation under the bus with the death threat BS.
Fck him and all he stands for!

Now, don't **** up this next hire Stricklin!

Based on today's news, I'm impressed thus far. There were plenty of reasons you could come up with to let this play out, and he didn't allow it. Struck while the iron was hot, and got us in front of things. This has more of a 2004 feel to it than 2014. My confidence is largely because of that.

I have no idea if any of that is true. Considering how the class of ‘18 was shaping up, I find it hard to believe Mac gave up on this team. I think he just doesn’t have “it” to be a HC in the SEC. I’m not losing any sleep over it, though.

Nice avatar. I don't know how long you've had it, but it looks good to me. Slap a Gators hat on that dude, and let's roll!!!

Rumors now leaking that he spent much of the summer in Montana. Didn't like the heat. I've heard that before but it didn't know how MUCH time they were talking about.

The heat on him for his horrendous ability to coach football is a hell of a lot hotter than 175 degree day in the shade in Gainesville. That is the kind of heat that he detested. Good riddance WOAT Worst of all Time!!!!!

Everybody needs to tweet thank you to Stricklin. #ThankYouStricklin

He made it happen. What must be done eventually must be done immediately.

It’s no longer a rumor. The Gainesville Sun’s already confirmed it.

I was just there, they confirmed the rumor. There has been as of now no official notice. They like most outlets lie in the headlines and you must check the body for the actual truth.
