He really needs to be booted if Stoops is not the head coach by friday
It can't possibly bother you this much. Just roll with it man, put him on ignore if you need to.

I find all the conjecture interesting, but I'm not going to Vegas making bets on it so it doesn't bother me if somebody's "inside information" just happens to be inside their head.

Well honestly if we're gonna boot that guy for bad "sources", shouldn't others have been booted on here for their bad "sources" in the past? :stirpot:
Until we to a million posts, @oxrageous isn't booting anyone. My sources tell me that after that however, he plans to raise the standards, uh, excuse me, set some standards, around here. With that in mind, when we get in the high 900Ks, I'll start saying my goodbyes to everybody.

@oxrageous already told you that jmskr is getting his “inside information” from a pay site. He did everything short of telling you which one. He’s no more of an insider than you would be if you joined the same pay site.

This is setting up to get ugly if they don’t get stoops or a coach hired soon. Stoops and Meyer are basically the only ones that can take it now so the rumors and speculation will swirl for over a month until they can hire somebody with another team. They would have been better to just wait until closer to the end of the season

My hope is that they had a deal in place with Stoops and that's how they got boosters to write checks, but now he's had a change of heart leaving FSU back at square one, only now with egg on their face and no plan B. Is that wrong of me?

That’s pretty damning. Like, straight from the horses mouth. Not sure why Stoops would be motivated to lie if he was really considering the job either. He doesn’t have a current team to protect so him signaling interest to a national writer would be ok. Might even help with negotiations - play hard to get to build up the fan base into making his hire a “must have”. By saying he’s not a candidate, just bluntly kills it.

If someone gets banned for bad info then half the membership will be gone.
Oh I’m not suggesting he should be. Just responding to the other guy who said “by Friday”. Almost all the people providing info in the recruiting thread would be banned by now if ox kicked them for info missed.

The problem is many of our boosters truly don't get it. There is an old guard, including Bulls, that are clueless

This is absolutely true. When I speak to a couple Bull Gators I know well enough to speak to candidly, they look at me as some crazy maniac for believing our investment priorities are seriously distorted, that Stricklin has real concerns, and that the school needs to be very concerned about recruiting by Mullen and staff. That is when I'm most depressed about UF sports. Because, they also look at me as though I should shut up because I don't donate nearly enough to voice these views. They're right about not having a voice, which is why I write to you all instead of having lunch with Stricklin or Spurrier.

I wonder if Fsu would spread these rumors just to make it look like there was interest in their job from a big time name like Bob

No way that is a strategic choice. This is the UT (and to some extent UF) issue in that the coaching search always seems disappointing after you publicly fail on your first several options.

Let's also keep in mind that when we pursued him he was always employed. At this point, he's been sitting on his ass for 3 years and is probably bored out of his mind.

If he goes there, this seems like the biggest aspect. He doesn't love UF. It's not his alma mater and he's not from here. But, he probably has some small affinity. But, he was head coach at OU for a very long time and likely loves that school. He left when he had an absolute stud to turn it over to in Lincoln Riley. If he gets back into coaching in college, the fact that he would not be leaving OU in a bad spot is a major difference from our prior searches.



But, I also can't see why he would so blatantly lie like this if it is not true. He has zero Saban-like motivation to be intentionally elusive. There are far less things he could have said to just punt. Sorry, but an XFL gig that has not yet started is far different from Saban being asked about the bleeding vag's job mid-NFL season.
