The contract is expected to be a 5 year, $35 million dollar contract and will provide for significant more staffing than what WiLLLLLLLie Taggart was provided
If people thought the race issue would die after the firing, just wait until the pay the new white coach way more money and fund a bunch more extras that would’ve helped Willie. Will be seen as not giving the last guy the resources he needed.

Well at this point it seems at the very least Bob Stoops is entertaining the idea of going to FSU. I just don't understand why he was so quick to turn us down when SOS called him up. Not a good look for us.

Simple. Fsu is willing to spend whatever it takes and UF isn't. Stoops or any coach would never get an 8 mil per year offer plus commitment to paying more for assistants and top facility upgrades from UF. Even the facilities that we're supposed to get in who knows when will still be behind several other schools' current facilities.

That would explain the coaches’ salary. Try explaining to Bomani Jones (and other ESPN figure heads who make these issues nationally relevant) how the cash strapped university all of a sudden came up 10s of millions of dollars to build support for the new white coach when the last coach had to beg for everything.

What UF did when FSU was down would have been like me sitting on my hands doing nothing after the GSMB shut down. What the hell would have happened to all of us without the Chatter? It's rather frightening.

Good question but perhaps this is the answer to what has happened to us since you conceived this incredible site:

Yeah, the issue is UF failed to take advantage of the window they were given when FSU was in the toilet. It's inexcusable.
We always thow a few bucks at the problem, wait a year, see if that fixes it, then wash , rinse repeat.

It’s gonna be a very bad look on us if this happens. Fsu making this happen, just shows how much more they’re committed to having a winning football program then we are. It’s being rumored that they’re offer him like 7-8 million a year. I thought they were cash strapped?

That’s right it’s not about the money it’s about the commitment

Just ask 2222, we are ensuring we don’t have too much debt when the economy turns. We’ll show everyone how smart we are with our pristine balance sheet come 2028. FSU will regret this. You’ll see. Just wait 8-10 years for financial tightness to play out the long term strategy.

Top recruits and coaches always want the school that saves the most money.

Dont forget baseball. We blow ERRBODY out of the water in baseball funding. All 15 of the baseball fans love it.

But not really true until we had to wait for the football all in one. Softball has had two stadiums since baseball got much of anything. Certainly football and basketball are lacking, but baseball has not been some cash fed monster either.

We made that perennial also ran coach into a 10 millionaire and pay him more than many major league baseball managers.

I don’t fear Stoops any more than any other competent coach.
What I am disappointed about is that we have not been able to flip the field in recruiting.
Looks like they will still have better team talent (than us) next year.

That's enough reason to fear stoops. We are having a very hard time against UGA because Shart is running circles around Mullenz in recruiting. With Stoops in our mediocre recruiting will be significantly worse.
