I post this link because I've talked to several UT friends of mine, point being you have to strike first or you could miss out on the guy you want. If we had waited to reach out to Meyer through contacts or directly to Meyer himself until weeks after we fired Zook, he would have been at Notre Dame and never been the Florida head coach.

As Jeremy Foley always said "What should be done eventually, should be done immediately."

Whoever is your #1 guy, if they have made the decision to get rid of Dooley, needs to already be on the hook or his hand forced so UT can move.

Thanks for the input Waco. I tend to agree with that statement. If there are any doubts about him moving forward, which there are, you must strike while the iron is hot.

how you lost Urban Meyer is a much much more interesting story...

i'm sure you hit a sore spot here, being that they are currently the #2 team in the country, and have yet to be beaten. if you're going to clown someone, at least do it right.

That's a really good read. It's an interesting process and a grueling process for the AD. Lets hope that Hart has the same work ethic as Foley to get this done!

you think they got tired of winning titles under Meyer and are now content winning the east? we fired Fulmer for winning the east
