Foley Bashers Rejoice! Foley set to announce retirement today

[URGatorBait]

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

Just keepin it real.

I see what you did there btw ;)

Foley did a great job at making our "Olympic sports" flourish while overseeing the best "Overall Athletic Program" in the Country. Thanks Foley!!!

That being said...it's a "New Day" in college Athletics where you need to "have the best of the best" to allow you to get the players you need to win Championships. In that world you need an AD with an aggressive approach to get the coaches what they need to bring in the players it takes to be the best. Hopefully we already have that "AD" in our pocket! #HireTomJurich #NewEra #ChompChomp

Greatest era in Gator athletics overseen by one of the greatest Gators of all time!
Thanks for the memories!

Thank you Jeremy Foley for being a class act and for making Florida more than just a football school. He wasn't perfect but he was very good. Let's hope the next AD is in his league and not like the big drop off like from Urban to Will.

To certain members of this board, this is worth fapping to.

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.

We'd never get the stink off him.

Foley's replacement is a more critical selection than some may think. And as much as I love SOS, he would be a terrible AD.

 

[gatormandan]

Hey rocketcitygator, just curious why there are 10 people saying they want SOS and yet I get a dislike for saying so? You dont like SOS?

 

[ATXGator]

Internal replacement? Is Chip Howard the guy?

Nothing personal, I gave a dislike to everyone who put SOS forward.

And regards SOS, I love Spurrier, the greatest Gator ever. But he'd make a terrible AD. SOS lacks the temperament and, at 71, probably the energy to manage the best sports program in the SEC.

Spurrier would not only be a terrible AD, he wouldn't want the job anyway. That's not saying you don't like him, that's just being honest. The man quit coaching football in part because he hated recruiting, so you want him to take a job that juggles the amount of tasks that an AD does? Not only that, he's in his 70's. This isn't a job for the elderly.

Foley is one of the best ever, he'll be missed. I just hope they replace him with someone who has the same drive and determination to create the best athletic department in the country.

 

[rogdochar]

gatormandan, I gave you a like because of your sharp wordplay. We're losing an
important "position-coach" in Foley, so sending out an sos is accurate.

I love Spurrier too, but I want him to "sculpt" his retirement for maximum pleasure, not
taking on such a stressful demanding job.

 

[gatormandan]

Its likely never going to happen but I like the thought of SOS having a role here. He is probably too old for the position.

They can make Spurrier an "advisor" of some kind....something that takes very little work.

 

[maheo30]

Spurdog is 71. He isn't going to take a full time job like this at his age, nor should he.

 

[T REX]

They can make Spurrier an "advisor" of some kind....something that takes very little work.

Why people ask? His name in fund raising alone is worth it. Even in a limited role his name means dollars.

 

[CGgater]

It will probably be 2-3 years before we find out if the bashers or pumpers were right.

I'm hoping we go after someone "out of house" because Tom Jurich is the guy I want. He would KILL IT at UF!!!
