He was openly seeking two others before that call though. He even dismissed the idea of the history being a factor in that first press conference. I think he was the safe guy and a fall back. But again, assuming we don’t win out, he’d be heading into 2022 1-3 against uga, no rings, no trajectory. He’s in trouble. And I also don’t think he wants to be here any longer, which means you’ll see something that irks people even more by then.

The Bulls and boosters care less than they have since before Spurrier. They've been beaten down like the rest of us. I'll bet the money flowing in to the program from these kinds of people has dropped 50%+ in the last ten years. It's hard to get up the energy to protest this inept administration at UF. It's a pointless waste of time. I don't think Stricklin actually likes football and I doubt ever watches the games. At least Foley showed his face at games and pretended like he cared who won or lost. Stricklin is probably at home doing his laundry when the Gators are playing.
I'll bet Stricklin is getting far, far less pressure to act than Jeremy Foley did in the Zook years, for example. His only motivation for making a change is not to be hassled, and he's not getting hassled enough to want to get off his ass and actually earn his enormous salary. Besides, the TV money is flowing in, and that's all that really matters.

Im pretty sure we are the only SEC school with decreasing revenue, and this despite the massive influx of TV money.
And they want to kill the cash cow.
People just got tired of flushing their money for an athletic department more concerned about filling their own pockets.
BTW, ever research what the AADs make?

I tend to agree with you. Dullen is acting completely like he's checked out and wants to be elsewhere, and soon. I'm sure he'd take his 16 million(?) buyout and go on a REAL vacation, not one of these piddly two-week Caribbean sojourns that he's forced to endure during the season.
He sucks.

I can't think of a better job than being AD at Florida, especially for a Mil a year. Even I could do that job.

He's too smart to resign, though, he will have to be fired. He's not that "Dullen".

Yeah, I don't think even our AD would be dumb enough allow buyouts to be paid to a coach who resigns. But this is SS, so who knows.

You forgot to mention Doc Johnson.Oh, and Brian Johnson would be a huge upgrade over Dan. So would Randy Johnson, Zack Johnson, Howard Johnson, Johnson&Johnson… hell, pick any Johnson you want out of any phone book… and let’s give em a shot!

Honestly those should be two of the five on the committee.
There should be no popcorn salesmen on the committee.

I believe we have both a ticket taker and a popcorn salesman on staff. Perhaps I should be more specific.
