I’m old but I remember. I remember he wasn’t cited for recruiting violations. I remember he didn’t lie to UF or the boosters on the logic of increasing stadium capacity.
I also remember Wilber Marshall, James Jones, John L. Williams, Neal Anderson, Lorenzo Hampton, Ricky Nattiel, Kerwin Bell, Phil Bromley, Crawford Ker, Lomas Brown, Tim Newton, Alonzo Johnson, Jeff Zimmerman, Leon Pennington, Jarvis Williams, Ronnie Moten, Tony Lilly, Mike Mularkey.
I remember Galen Hall taking Charley Pell’s team to a 9-1-1 record and first place in the SEC in 1984 after Pell resigned following the third game.
I’d say he did pretty well on his own.
