I'm not upset, and I will tell you why; Strong is probably a better coach, but that's not what we needed. We needed a damn recruiter, and based off past performance, I believe we got the better hire with Brewster.....strategically speaking.

I have no idea what the market is for an analyst. Do you?
I know Bammer pays as much for some of their "analysts" as we pay for position coaches.

That doesnt mean we arent trying to pay them Burger King manager pay.

No one is talking about him as a TE coach.

He is a damn strong recruiter though with much good will amongst Florida HS coaches.

I get that....my argument is that in terms of recruiting (where we needed the most help BADLY), I feel that Brewster was a much better hire. That's not taking anything away from Strong....I sincerely respect the guy. If we were talking about replacing Grantham, then I would be severely pissed that Strong picked UA over UF.

You’re being way too generous in your assumptions. We’re paying closer to $12 per hour which is probably 2/3rds (maybe less) of what a BK manager makes.

Pretty sure Strong to Florida was just made up on Twitter, Mullen never called him and he never called us.

Same thing with Kerwin, just made up bull.

WTF? Weird. It'd be nice to win the SEC this year. It would take the sting out of a lot of dumbassery lately.

Bammer is like rehab for failed coaches. I don't see why some are so upset. CS was likely never coming here.

I take it the sky is falling because a guy decided to be an analyst at Alabama over us. Saban collects these like they’re baseball cards. Maybe just maybe he didn’t want to come here. Yeah sure fire erbuddy again

Sometimes it's about team/coach chemistry as a whole, too. I can't see how bringing CS back here right now would have helped in that department. Especially with how the GDS folks are.

A few years ago I might have been upset about this, but after the disaster at USF, seems pretty clear that Strong's day as a top coach, assistant or otherwise, is over, may as well bring in Zook and Bob Sanders.

Nahh, we arent firing anyone. Not even for a few 5-7s, or 5-6 six straight losses to Ugaly.

White and Mullinz are good enough for Cowbell East.

So...in summary... WDWHA?
