Seems like an unnecessary shot at Zook,
but fine.
I guess it’s also possibly an endorsement of him as well. Now I’m confused.

Objection!!!!!. In the life of a Gator, there is no such thing as an unnecessary shot at: Fooley, Zook, Chimp, Butters, Fuxxx, Strichnine, Cousin Eddie or Mike!

He was never coming back next year and it has nothing to do with fans forcing anything. He's losing us a shlt-ton of money and the bottom line is always the bottom line. Just because it hasn't been announced doesn't make it any less obvious that we were moving on. I've been laughing at the hundreds of "looks like were stuck with him another year" posts.

Serious question........ Why would anyone want to Coach at Florida?
Even Spurdog left because of the unreasonable expectations of the Fan's.
We can pay top dollar but we have very little other to offer.

There's way too much "noise in the system" to believe he's coming back. The only way it was ever going to happen was if the defense played better Saturday after Grantham was let go and we all know how that went. He's finished.
As much as I used the name as a joke I'm warming up to the idea of Bill O'Brien. He was a stabilizing presence at Penn State after the Paterno debacle and after his disastrous stint in the NFL I don't think anyone's going to be burning up his phone there. I think we could do a lot worse.

Spurdog left because he was tired of no support from Fooley and the Earnest Graham affair was the straw that broke the camel's back. All that "He left because of the fans" BS was Fooley propaganda after the fact.

All you have is name calling......... I watched the interview when he said the expectations at Florida were unreasonable and it wore him out.

I won’t even get into Spurrier’s departure. But in terms of the recent hires, it’s really not that hard. We cooled quickly and pushed for a change with Zook, WM and McElwain. Of those three, one is a head coach today at a G5 school. The others are assistants. So guess who was right?
Spurrier and Meyer were both loved. All fans get spoiled and have unreasonable moments. We’re not unique, and those demand and expectations go hand in hand with the compensation. Pretty simple.
And with Mullen he has no one to blame but himself. Look at some of the recently bumped threads. Guys like la, YL, Donkey and others were happy with 2018. He could’ve made this work. But he thumbed his nose on a DC hire, refused to work hard in recruiting(straight from the mouths of prospects) and became an arrogant prick to the fans. Forget us. The national media has been roasting him all season. All of this is self inflicted. He could’ve been fine here and blew it. That is not on us in any way, shape or form.
If there’s one message that has been sent since 2002 it’s this, if you’re a competent head coach who is willing to work hard and make smart, fairly obvious decisions, you will succeed here.

Some good points but nothing you said screams that taking over at Florida is a top notch job, other than the compensation $$$$$$.
Terrible facilities, very little support from the Administration, no current tradition of Great success, lousy AD, no budget for expanded support staff, no depth because of poor recruiting, apathetic fan support, etc, etc.....
The fact that we have been getting 2nd and 3rd string coaches shouldn't be a surprise... It's what this Administration wants and accepts...... At this point, I'll echo what someone else already said... I have no confidence that this Administration can\will pick the Winner that UF needs and deserves.

SOS and Meyer and their families have reiterated over the years that fan expectations such as widespread complaints about the team even after a 10 win season were among the major factors in their decisions to leave.
A coach that is willing to put in the work to win championships and has thick skin can become a kick ass, Gator Ring of Honor SOB. Our athletic executives love to hire big talkers that haven't done anything but finegal big buyouts, crumble under pressure, take the money and run.
