All kidding aside - any mildly educated/experienced AD could do what he's done, and still bring in the money.
I completely agree, especially for a huge flagship university. It's a plum job - the only real challenge is finding good coaches.

They wouldn’t have let him interview if they wanted to keep him. Frangie’s a nice guy but he lives in a fairy tale world.

Ya I like Frank especially calling the Jaguars but he seems very disconnected from reality when it comes to UF….

Hope the discussion about White isn’t true

I will say this about striklin. The facilities have drastically been upgraded since he got hired. He was hired because he was known as a big fundraiser. He's atleast done that.

Hire a prostitute!
Aren't you the guy that praised Golden to the sky for "improvement" (before his total late season collapse), but despises Napier and wants him not only fired, but lynched?

For all we know both of those coaches may still turn out great, and Stricklin will be considered a genius.

In other words, I think they love Stricklin and the assertion that he's on any kind of hot seat is laughable.

If football struggles again next year and fan turnout is down, then Sasse will be under noticeable pressure to make a change. Napier and Golden are two critical hires to get right...and if there isn't firm results by year 2, Stricklin will be accountable for why.

It's not like UF is having overwhelming success in other sports to justify keeping him around.

I think at UF right now the AD is judged more by the overall athletic program and $$$$ being generated, and there's tons of money rolling in. This isn't Bama where football is the only thing that matters. UF is run like an Ivy League school at the moment.

In other words, I think they love Stricklin and the assertion that he's on any kind of hot seat is laughable.

I owned a Beemer where your ass stuck to the leather seats on a hot day while it blew cold air up your shorts. Just sayin.

What?

Maybe you should start "sayin" stuff while sober.

Mike White will get you 2-3 wins he probably shouldn't, he will get you 2-3 losses he probably shouldn't, and at the end of the day 20ish wins with NCAA tourney every so often...for UGA, that's an improvement

That’s all terrific, but I think the bigger concern is why are you driving around with no pants on?
Sounded to me like he had pulled them off to cool them with the AC vents.

Nothing like having an ice cold pair of shorts to put on when you arrive somewhere.

Find a post where I said I want Napier fired or face a ban.
