I can see Stricklin and Fuchs driving down to Orlando and Frost answering the door....my baby is sleeping, what's your problem.

The only things i have heard is what they talk about during the games. They all seem to think the guy from Wake, with a few Cutliffe picks. They have been silent this whole time. I know they talked to Mullin and Gruden but thats it.

Seriously, WTF difference does it make who we hire any more? What we so desperately needed was a program changer. Someone so different and transformative that he would flush out all the sludge and garbage that has choked the life out of Florida football over the last 8 years. In my opinion only two guys fit that bill, Frost and Kelly. At least they were the only two that were realistically available. We are not getting either of those guys so who gives a sh!t who we get? We are going to remain a mediocre to bad program for the foreseeable future. We sure as hell are not going to be contending for championships.
Like it or not, love of UF or not, Florida currently is giving off the stench of a loser and premier coaching candidates sure don't want that rubbing off on them. I don't think Kelly ever really even considered Florida. I think he met with our "Gang of Four" out of courtesy as much as serious interest. Sure he may have been slightly intrigued so he gave us a meeting but it sure didn't pique his interest enough to keep him from jumping at UCLA the minute they came calling. And I just don't see Frost coming to UF. Nebraska maybe, but not UF. If he's going to start over rebuilding a program again like he did two years ago, I think he'd prefer doing it at Nebraska than more so than Florida.
So again, who cares what 3rd, 4th 5th or 6th choice we hire? Our football program is so screwed up and it's going to take so many things to get it right that I don't see any of the realistically available coaches fitting the bill. Hell, Chris Doering was almost in tears on TV talking about how far we've fallen and how bad we've gotten.
I've had season tickets for decades. No matter the circumstances I've always looked forward with excitement to the start of a new season. That's turned to total indifference with a hint of dread. And perhaps after sitting in the stands watching yet another sh!tshow of a UF/FSU football(?) game I may be feeling overly negative, but the last 8 years have conditioned me to not believe a damn positive thing I hear about Florida football because each time it turns out to be total bull$h!t.

**** it. if we blow it with frost let's ride the crazy lane train.
it's him, taggart, or strong unless scotty starkville really falls down and gives it to shannon.
i've been bored and depressed. now we can be entertained and horrified to no end by lane.
certainly wouldn't be boring and he's as toxic as this program is at this point....

Regardless of who the new coach is, would you settle for a 7-5 season with a top-5 recruiting class after the 1st year of the new coach, considering we are 4-7 this year ??
Last year Oregon went 4-8, fired their coach and hired Willie Taggert, this year they finished 7-5 and have a top-5 recruiting class committed so far.......

If you don't think that UCF team wouldn't beat every team in the east this year with the exception of Georgia you're in denial. That would include beating the brakes off of UF.

I'm not one much to give Dooley a whole lot of credit....at all. But he really only state what he knows and will never go out on a ledge. I saw what he stated about Norvell. At this point, he's probably off the list. He did say he was told a surprise pick. Well, hell anything at this point is a surprise pick.
