Good Riddance. For a dozen years, all we have ever heard is when UF faces an equal or better opponent everyone can physically see the difference in size, agility, athletic ability, yet these teams are all recruiting the same guys. How is this possible for so long? And even though we are outsized, we have not had any speed advantage on any of these teams. They have very fast players also. Speed is only a factor when you outtalent the opponent. when on a somewhat level playing field, other things seem much more important.

One way to look at this, is that if he fails (see last three duds) then he may never be a HC at a P5 again. I see how SS had to up the ante to get the hire done quickly. There is risk on both sides of this deal. We can not have immediate sky high expectations. I just watched a behind the scenes video on Bama. We are $150m and 15 years behind with facilities and staff. If he can recruit and surround himself with good staff and great processes than maybe by year four we will be top 10 again.

You want a fantasy. We have no leverage.

To me, the fact that he's forced a shakeup in the way UF doles out resources is worth the $51.8 million alone. He's going to open up eyes on how to actually run an entire football program, stuff that is going to stick even after he's gone. Even if he fails, he's going to be the first coach in a very long time to leave things better than the way he found them instead of worse.
