While it's looking more like he got the football hire right, he may be 1-2 after this hire. Let's hope it's 2-1.

Stricklin's seat shouldn't be cool. That's for sure.

I think the gap in the teeth is the dealbreaker. That's the kind of thing that enrages people, just the sight of it.
Oh, he'll be spitting tobacco juice through it once we southernize him...lol. Or.. they'll make it go away. Remember how they whitened Mac's teeth after he got here?

Sean Miller goes to Xavier.

Kevin Willard from Seton Hall to Maryland.

Chris Jans from NM State to Mississippi State.


All three hires light years better than ours.

Thanks you Starkville dip****.

Meyer was a huge splash. We went toe to toe with with Notre Dame and stole Urban from them. It was a big deal at the time.

Other than that, you are correct. Nothing said clunker hire like Ron Zook following Spurrier.

Excuse me but it was not a huge splash. Many, many, many posters on whatever board we were on at the time condemned Meyer and the hire because he did not have SEC level experience.

Sean Miller was never going to happen. Hell, it may not happen for another year for Xavier if the NCAA drops the hammer and suspends him. (I've seen a few games up to a year suspension talked about).
Kevin Willard has made the Big Dance 6 times in 15 years!
You may be right about Jans, but he's by no means a sure thing.

Nationally it was a huge splash. A few asshats on message boards didn't change that.

More than a few. It was probably half of the board. It was the gator sports board and several of them have posted here and probably still do. You were probably one of them.

Before we argue any more about splash hires, it might be helpful to differentiate between the different types.

Green Splash Hire
Tidal Splash Hire
Belly Splash Hire

Meyer to UF was a greenie, Saban to Bama was a tidal, and Kelly to UCLA … for sure a belly splash.

Thanks.

Look at the bright side, it's hard to narrow down one thing to make fun of him about. I like that Stricklin is keeping the options open with this hire.

Slevin pants? Check
Bushy eyebrows? Check
Radar dish ears? Check
No cheekbones or square jaw? Check
Crooked smile? Check
Tooth gap? Michael Strahan for days

It's like this hire was tailor-made for GatorChatter and our notorious nicknames. Can't wait!

So in other words, we just hired Slevin.

Sometimes it's hard to be open about a hire. Real hard. But welcome to Gainesville Coach Todd Golden. Now how's that. Billy Napier you better come through big time boy. That's all I've got to say.
