And divorced from that idiot.

There needs to be some kind of announcement made soon, and it doesn't matter if has "rumor" attached to it. Something specific, and something more than "conversational"

Swap Sumlin with Morris and i agree

I think A&M will beat us to Morris

I'll probably get crucified for this but what about Art Briles? He was never charged with anything and there could be a good argument of him being charged, convicted, and sentenced by the media.

Butters said he wouldnt have taken the job if he knew and I do believe him. He probably assumed that UF was committed to winning. It probably never occurred to him how cheapskate we were after being at two schools committed to winning.

None of that would have actually helped Butters learn how to coach or run a big time program. It would have just been "smoking mirrors" to try and lure enough decent recruits in so he could vampire a paycheck until we tired of him. Fortunately, we tired of him sooner than later. Unfortunately, we hired him in the first place and extended all of the dolts he brought in.

Perfect announcement to me would come during the SEC Championship Game and the Dawgs getting beat down, we announce the Frost hire.

I love your optimism

Taggert is winning the Civil War. Oregon is putting up SOS type numbers. 69-10 drubbing with 10 minutes left.

Pretty sure I hate Stricklin already.

Question about Taggart. If we made that hire, isn’t his offense like 70/30 run/ pass? Who the hell would run that offense? Toney? I’ve heard the guy is a terrific recruiter and has an all star staff. Just wanting some more info on him, don’t know too much about him.

My God we’re not aggressive on the field, in recruiting, or in a coaching search. Why are we so damn passive?

I guess I’ll be the first one to mention that our defensive guru interim HC had no answer for this Usce team that is being destroyed tonight by Clemson. You know, the guy we have to keep around because of his experience and ability to relate to 3star kids in SoFla.

I hesitate in replying to this but I keep seeing it and my ocd won't allow me to go past it ... again. In no way am I advocating for Randy Shannon as an option to coach or anything like that. But seriously, is there a coach out there, that could step in with the pile of crap that we are, Nord, Nuss and so on ... depleted rosters ... and really succeed? Are you truly comparing us to Clemson? I actually thought he coached a decent game against USC all things considererd. Yes ... I do understand that some of the problems on the field stem from his recruiting and such ... but I also acknowledge that he wasn't the head coach that ran the program into the ground. I have no idea what the situation was like while butters was coaching us and can't imagine what it would have been like to see the ineptness on display from the SC to the offensive coaching. He had to shake his head a lot.
