Happy with the hire. He's definitely among the better options out there. There's a bit of wait-and-see if we'll make it to the promised land. That said, Dooley had a rare nugget on this one:
This was the most expensive transition in the school’s athletic history. Florida spent a lot of hard cash to go from an SEC coach with a 28-21 record to a Mountain West coach with a 22-16 record

Puts it in perspective. Foley knows he had to get this one right or it's the last decision about what happens in Ben Hill Griffin he makes. UF is in for BIG money on this transition and there's not a lot of wiggle room if 2-3 years from now we realize we got another dud.

All that said, "GO GATORS!! THEY CAN LAUNCH THE ORION IN CELEBRATION NOW!"
