I like the idea above where UF announces he is out after the season and force that cocksucker to endure the humiliation of a 1-11 season. If he screws up or screws off, fire his ass for cause and refuse the buyout money.
it was just explained to me that if we do what we did with Zook 20 years ago, THE WEEK AFTER THE MSU ROAD LOSS 2004, and announce he's out as head coach, but will finish the season leading the team, then officially he hasn't been fired so players can't jump in the portal immediately. They'd have to wait until after the season to jump in, which could be stymied by our new hire, who could persuade the players he wanted to stay.

Probably a much better idea than letting Enos be the interim and opening the transfer portal early for erbody to go red shirt somewhere else the rest of the season. Plus you avoid the whole having to fire an interim in a few weeks.

I've heard this is a very likely scenario. Due to the timing with the ESD. That a real GM would be found first. To help the transition and overall program.

I hope this is the route they take.

I wonder if that is why Tre isn't playing this weekend. Wait and see, has a week bye, then red shirt, then portal.

Doing this allows UF to openly go thru the interview process for available coaches though.

He had surgery on his knee this week. Smart move. He saw this season was a waste and went ahead to fix it now.

Could be true but didn't a post show that he had surgery? :dunno:

What ever happened to the donation by napier to some charity without UF signing off. Isn't that a terminating offense?

There was a pretty strong feeling that that was mostly a smoke screen by higher-ups just looking for a reason to get him fired. A little too Auburn for me, personally, but you know what they say. You miss 100% of the chances to publicly disparage an employee to relieve yourself of any contractual agreements, that you don’t take.

Maybe it could be Ron Zook/Billy Napier Field at the Erector Set Stadium.
