  1. I think people dismissing a Fickell or Napier because Herman and Strong were busts aren't looking at the situation quite right. Strong was the result of a disastrous, panicked process. He's kind of an outlier. He never should have been hired. While Herman was a hot name at the time, he did have some red flags. However, just because Herman didn't work out, doesn't mean the next up and coming coach is going to bust as well. Each coach is different and needs to be evaluated on individual merits. Some might have the goods, and some might not. Urban Meyer wasn't a successful P5 coach before Florida. I'm not necessarily advocating for those guys particularly. I'm not familiar enough with either of them. However, I don't think they should dismissed out of hand because they're not established P5 coaches already. Neither Herman nor Strong should be any kind of factor in their evaluations.
  2. If Herman is our coach next season because we didn't have the buyout money, that's 100% on CDC. If he had the ability to buy out Herman, before Urban said no, and chose not to, but now can't secure the funding... that's on CDC for not making the move when he had the chance. Bottom line is CDC better come up with that money because the alternative is nuclear apocalypse bad with recruiting and the one time free transfers coming.
  3. It simply cannot be Sark. We cannot stake huge money on a guy who is 1 drink away from falling apart. I would hate a Franklin hire or a Cristobal hire. I could live with Campbell, Fickell or Napier. Will we have the money for those names? I hope so. We cannot have two straight throw away recruiting classes.
  4. Fine... even then, what's he been saying? Herman's going to be fired after back to back loses to TCU and OU? Hard call to make... Has he said anything that anyone one of us couldn't have made up ourselves?
  5. And we never heard of these people before a few days ago. Hell, they could be any one of us... or someone else entirely. Lots of trolls come out at a time like this...
  6. UF isn't letting him walk away with the direction he has that program going.
  7. I honestly don't have time to read the last 40 or 50 pages. When last I read we were starting to feel pessimistic. What happened that we're now so optimistic?
  8. If signing day wasn't like 2 weeks away, I don't think anyone would be freaked out. But the potential new coach effect on the recruiting class will be more than halved after NSD 1. The clock is seriously fucking ticking...
  9. Really? It feels awfully familiar.
  10. I think it's the fact that he's having a presser at all is the issue... not what he's saying. He should be gone already.
  11. Wow... poor Sam.
  12. Urban's not going to drag it out with signing day coming up FAST... unless he's willing to let early signing day pass without doing any recruiting. If he's taking the job, he needs to do it fast. He can see the amount of work that needs to be done to salvage the current class. (Unless he's banking on the one time free transfers to fill in gaps.)
  13. Would we really fly in Meyer before firing Herman? If Herman is doing a presser today, that's not good for our odds with Meyer. Signing day is coming up fast.
  14. Jimbo is guaranteed to get a big raise and an extension after this season. If we raise the pay scale bar, Jimbo will be getting a massive raise.
  15. When they measured Connor Williams at the combine, it turned out he didn't really have Tackle measurements and had short arms for the position. That was a big hit to his draft stock. I don't think Cosmi is going to have that issue. Cosmi's final season was not as dominant as hoped, but it was solid. Perhaps he's not a top 10 pick, but the first round should be very possible, and is more likely than not... assuming solid combine + pre draft workouts etc...
  16. No potential future coach wants to hear a question that personal asked by our media.
  17. Aren't the dates, relative to his buyout number, just about when we file the paperwork? Can't we just announce it now and keep him "on staff" until the date it gets a little bit cheaper?
  18. We have suffered...
  19. He still has a chance at an NFL future. He's risking injury. He can't count on his blindside anymore. He's taken enough hits for the university. He's taken more hits than anyone in the country these four seasons, probably by a wide margin.
  20. We need to fire the fucker RIGHT NOW. What recruiting we have will completely fall to shambles if everyone knows he's going to be fired but is still roaming the sidelines while we wait for some polite, arbitrary stopping point.
  21. Sam should opt out. He was already running for his life on most plays. The kid needs to think about his future. I doubt he will, but he's about to take a much worse beating that otherwise.
  22. Oh bullshit. Strong had multiple who were worse. They had a guy who literally didn't bother to come out of his stance on some plays.
  23. Who is this futureman you speak of? I never see his posts.
  24. Burton's best connection was to Mack... literally could call him and Mack would pick up type of relationship. There's no way he has that kind of visibility into the program anymore. I'm sure he knows some BMD's and lots of players being around the program for so long, but with the churn at the AD, it's unlikely he has anywhere near sources he used to. Most of his best connections are long gone. The AD doesn't leak nearly as much as it used to.
