AP source: Longtime Gators AD Jeremy Foley, one of the most successful sports leaders in the country, is retiring today. Gators AD Jeremy Foley will remain in place until October. His replacement will take over then

I vote Steve Spurrier for AD

Dang. Who is a worthy replacement?

dubs & law will think this is 3 years too late.

Thanks for the memories Foley. We wish you the best. Next man up!

I do think Spurrier might be great if he wants to do this. I do wonder how well he would do working with other coaches and how many football coaches would want Spurrier as their boss telling them how to do their job?

- I'll throw my hat in the ring. can I start the campaign right here @

THE ULTIMATE DESTINATION FOR THE GATOR NATION ?

S.O.S.

Spurrier has been wanting to retire for years. Do you actually think he would take on a full-time job like this at his age? There's zero chance, he'd rather be on the golf course.

Dang, he's done so much for UF athletics. He'll be hard to replace IMO.

It'll get worse before it gets better.

 

[williston_gator]

In 25 years under him UF has 27 national titles in 13 different sports.

I'd take Spur Dog. He'd be more of a fixture overseeing the program. But think in the long run it would be good.

 

[GatorGriff]

A 71 year old Spurrier who wants to spend his free time golfing and relaxing would be a horrible decision. Go get Greg McGarity back from Georgia.

[GatorJ]

Go get Muschamp. We're already paying him.

I thought he should've retired after the Chump debacle. He did a lot for us but also let us fall behind in football. It is time for new blood. UF has the resources to get a great replacement. If he already groomed someone in house I'd like to know who it is. If not, here's to the next AD.

That being said, thank you Jeremy Foley. Thank you for all you have done. Enjoy your retirement.

McGarity was an Athens native and a UGA alum.

That's pretty negative. I think we'll be alright. Chin up lil fella.
