Is Mike still employed? Seems to me that there has been more than enough time to give him his walking papers and also change the locks!

White's staff is a joke as well. None of the three would be capable of even being interim if we canned Martha tonight.

So do we need a pic of Mike humping a Galapagos tortoise?

That would be White hitting a hump shot. No way.
White will make the tortoise regress into his shell. White can't be successful at scoring.?? And before he'd think to take a time out, the tortoise would race away.

We play Vandy the night he comes home to name the floor. Vandy is currently dead last in the SEC and 8-11. Couldn't we lose that game and Billy see how White is destroying what he built and get the itch to come back?

And look where we play Saturday, at said Commode Doors. We play them twice and Arky once. Those are the only games I see us legitimately winning from here on out.
Musselman with Arky is going to get revenge and wax the floor with White.

No Fooley did not respond to that email. He also did not rspond to the first email I sent him telling him he was a complete KNOW NOTHING jacka$$ for panicking and hiring Zook the day he was hired. The only time he responded to me was after the 3rd email I sent him imploring him to axe Muscrat long before he did and he only responded b/c I told him he was horrendous at knowing what a quality football coaching candidate was and that he could not take credit for Urb's b/c all he was was "errand boy" for the muckity mucks and Machen who told his incompetent a$$ to go get Urb's signed on the dotted line and do not come back until the ink is dry. He did not like me calling him "Errand Boy" and assured me that the hiring of Urb's was 100% his doing. I have still not stopped laughing at that response.
he doesn't answer that shyt. He has a staffer and a couple of interns.

That was ugly. I have stood by white because he can recruit but he has no feel for this team, how to rotate them or inspire them.
Jumpman sent this years players here and you can bet your a $ $ they won't be steering another prospect to White.
Total waste of their money to send them here just to become nobodys.

This is a very good observation. In all honesty they do look like they are employed at UF during the day in a uniform provided by Cintas and then given a 2 piece suit to put on provided by the Univ. and told to sit on the bench.

Pathetic performance in the 2nd half no doubt. This team has no toughness or heart and obviously no coaching either. Will we even win another game the rest of the season? I don't know if any of the games are to be honest with how this team plays. Do we even want to win anymore games the rest of the season? Do we tank it like I said after the Baylor loss to get White gone for good? As tough as it may be, we probably should tank it and lose them all.

Is there anyone left on the Mike White bandwagon? Funny to watch you all fall off one by one.

I think most people take a wait and see approach to things: it's a long season and sometimes you lose head-scratching games. Even Donovan did it with some of his best teams. But an announcer said it earlier this year: there's about 5 games every year where you just don't show up for whatever reason (can't buy a bucket, get in foul trouble, etc.); 5 games where it's your night (every shot hits, other team gets in foul trouble, etc.); and 10ish games where you play who you are.

Who this Gator team is this season: a poor basketball team with tremendous individual talent. We have NBA caliber talent out there at multiple positions. Incredible depth and a rotation of at least 8/10 players (Nembhard, KJ, Blackshear, Locke, Payne, Lewis, Mann, Glover as the main core...but Bassett can add minutes, as can Jitobah). A competent coach has this team ranked, a good coach has us top 10. White is neither.

And we have enough data on him to make the conclusion that his record is who he is: a consistent 10+ loss a year coach. Not good enough for a program that has built better over the last 2 decades.
