Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, who was terrific in his final year at UF and played a ton last season for the Saints, is trying to get his degree. Admirable! However, he took the opportunity to publicly let Florida (and everyone on Twitter) know he wouldn't be graduating from that university.

Geez, such drama queens. Social media allows every butthurt idiot to share with the world just how butthurt he or she is.

If they’re airing this much bad publicity on social media, how much are they sharing behind closed doors? What are our coaches doing? Not a good look this offseason - at all. Mullen needs to clean house and soon.

I'm sure some of these bad news stories are being exaggerated by everything that is going on in the world right now (interactions between these players and the coaches/university is much less personal right now which might be leading to some strained connections). However, are other universities getting as much negative news as we are right now? If not, then this is a very bad look.

I just wish they were man enough to say what really happened instead of tweeting vague accusations. And since when is it cool to have the vocabulary of a borderline retarded 2nd grader?

Coaches continue to carry on as if it is business as usual when the landscape has clearly changed. They are in the sales business as much as they are in the football business. And there are plenty of people ready to sell the Gators down the river.

Why do we automatically believe these idiots and kill the coaches?

Because we now have enough examples for the players to not seem like isolated whiners, but offering some level of consistent story. We shouldn't just believe them, but it gains credibility with numbers.

I work in an industry where grown people act like children, and make sh!t up all the time when they are annoyed, usually a gross exaggeration of something. I don't automatically believe this kind of stuff at all anymore.

I'd bet ten bucks if we actual knew what the coaches said, we'd laugh about it. What should the coaches do? Just kiss ass 24/7 so that the possible "perception" of a perfect program never gets upset? I'm tired of the whiners always getting their way. It needs to end.

The university started a campaign to have him blackballed. Don’t you recall reading the official press release?

Again, I want to know the other side of the story before I throw people under the bus. We never get the other side. And this turd is obviously relying on second-hand information ("So-and-so said you were too slow and we shouldn't draft you") which is also probably either totally fabricated or at the very least exaggerated.

Is UF actively recruiting you to play football right now? If not, then it does not matter whether you believe these players or not. What does matter is whether the recruits believe what they see. I am willing to go out on a limb here and state that they will take the word of former players on Twitter over a lot of other sources - including the coaches - if there are multiple complaints. Mullen has allowed a bad perception problem to develop and it needs to be addressed.
