Some of you probably already knew and to some it may come as a surprise.

Does it impact your view of him?

Next you'll be posting about how he found Jesus and thanks Saban for rescuing him and other stuff that has been known but everyone focuses on schit from 10 or more years ago. :lol:

I was pointing out all those things when we were looking for Mullen's replacement, but err'body here was still "no f'n way!" and going on and on about USC and Tennessee and all the old schit....

I happened upon on it and it piqued my interest. So I dug a little further. He has a high awareness of his past image as a jerk -- some will argue it hasn't changed -- and how it came to be. He doesn't dispute it all. He owns it. He's proud of where he is in life. To me it shows personal growth.

He's the most talked-about potential candidate for the UF job. He's maybe also the most ready candidate once you move past Meyer, who may have zero interest.

it's actually pretty amazing to listen to him talk about it all in detail and it's been out there for a long time (i.e., before our last hiring disaster for sure). He hasn't been "that guy" since before Saban hired him.

I think most head coaches are degenerates. Tons of stress, terrible schedule, no stability, tough family life. But like a lot of performance based jobs, it affords them to feed their vices and is basically one giant gamble.

What happened wasn't a coincidence.

I'm watching him. His offense is the closest thing to spurdog ive seen in a long time. If his team plays real defense and they contend this year he could be a great option. He has the offense, the swagger, the edge that Florida has sorely missed since urbs.

Defense attorneys always advise their clients to go to rehab. It makes a lot of people excuse their bad behavior, including many judges.

Things like porking Saban's daughter was because of alcoholism? Getting fired for lying at Raiders and USC? Leaving UT after one year? Running his mouth at Meyer and Saban then getting spanked like a child? Joey Freshwatering?
