They paid 7mil to buy out his contract at Colorado St., I don't think they can afford to fire him for at lest a couple of more years.

With what he did last year given what he had to work with.....there's no way they're anything but thrilled with him IMO. He was a freakin steal for that 7mm plus salary. Great ROI well ahead of schedule.

I don't see how all the UF writers/media are predicting this. They had the main sports talk/radio guy from UF on the Sports Animal (listened on app just before lunch ) for SEC preview yesterday. He picked UF to go 10-2 and win the SEC East. He thought UF would lose one of Arkansas or UT on the road and lose to FSU but there would be enough losses by UT/GA that Florida still gets East title bc UFs schedule is easier and Del Rio is better than Harris but not quite as good as Grier. However, Del Rio knows the system already.

The local Sports Animals guys said this guy wasn't a homer and "he called them like he sees them." They all admitted they have been wrong before though. I think the emphasis was that Florida's SEC schedule wasn't horrible (LSU at home and Arkansas is their away west team).

The UGA guy was on for th next preview and he picked UT first, GA second, and Florida third though.

Tabor is currently campaigning to be the team captain, so that he can teach the freshmen "how to roll and shoot straight". Win or lose in Knoxville, Butter Teeth to be fired in November. No control over program.

Remember, we are talking about a school where a guy won two national championships. And then faked cancer just to get away from the jort wearing, mullet headed alumni.

Fooley Foley also quit in disgust. Dave Hart probably going there to clean house.

All IMHO

Del Rio absolutely sux. He couldn't even win the starting job at lowly Oregon State.

Once PED-boy got kicked off team, look at the last half of their season.

1) Lost to LSU
2) Nipped Vandy 9-7
3) Beat horrible Cocks team 24-14
4) Lucked by Florida Atlantic 20-14

Then, in the big games for the Alumni, Butter Teeth laid the egg:

1) Go hammered by 'Noles 27-2. The offense got shut out.
2) Bama played the third string to beat them 29-15.
3) On 1/1/16, Harbaugh LOL'ed at their woeful offense while smoking them 41-7.

For those three games, thanks to the defense scoring, they averaged 8 points per game.


All the High School recruits realized that they face two choices:

- Go to Florida and end up in Cell Block C wearing a curly blond wig like Aaron Hernandez.

OR

- Be a VFL and end up winning Super Bowls while selling Buicks like Peyton Manning.

1. I thought Meyer feigned a stress and/or cardiovascular issue rather than cancer. Don't recall it ever being definitive, and I could certainly be wrong, but I don't recall cancer ever being mentioned. Think, after the fact, that it was a GERD issue.

2. How in the world do you link Jeremy Foley with Derek Dooley by calling him "Fooley Foley"?? The 2 couldn't possibly be more polar opposite IMO. Foley is wildly successful AD for 25 years as opposed to Dooley who was an incompetent buffoon and failure as a collegiate head coach.

Also, Foley "quit in disgust"? What was he disgusted about? The first year headcoach winning the SECe well ahead of schedule and for the first time since 2009? Also, if he did quit "in disgust", why is he still there after announcing his resignation more than 2 months ago? He doesn't leave his position until October iirc.

You know he won 10 games and the East last year, right? Something that Butch, playing in the same division, still hasn't been able to pull off. He has more wins over UT than the last 3 UT coaches have over UF combined. He has the same # of wins over UGA in 1 year that Butch has in 3. If in 4 years his record against UT and UGA is 2-6 then yea, they will talk about firing him. But screaming "McElwain is a horrible coach" doesn't make it true.

Unfortunately, this is true. I'm not getting overly excited and expecting us to win the SEC. The offence will have to be much improved for that to happen.

Well, you are taking out the fun part, but ok:

1) Urban faked illness to quit. Who cares the details; it was all a big lie! To quit because of GERD is even worse. Nexium fixes GERT within two days. Does the quote below sound like he was having fun in JortLand?

“My wife (Shelley) started crying so she shook me up a little bit," Meyer said. "Obviously you can see what she's wearing, and all the kids, they love Florida. They've given six years. Six (of coaching) equals about 40 years of your life to Florida.”

Florida sends out Urban Meyer with Outback Bowl defeat of Penn State - USATODAY.com

2) Derek Dooly never crossed my mind. Fooley Foley is a long-time nickname. His football team just got beat 41-7. The game before that was 29-15. The game before that was 27-2. His QB, best offensive and defensive player all three spent the winter smoking pot.
“”he was high on marijuana and "so stoned I had no interest in having sex with anyone”

Title IX sexual assault investigation finds Florida WR Antonio Callaway not responsible | Tampa Bay Times

A few weeks ago, two freshmen were arrested for shooting out windows with a gun.

The list can go on for days. Like Urban, easier for Fooley to just quit than try to fix the culture. Gainesville is up in smoke.

You left out their "best" defensive player is starting fights with other players to the extent of both combatants involved are suspended for the opener. Sound football program if I've ever seen one.

I enjoyed this quote and recommend UT football recruiters have it on their business cards at the bottom:

"Go to Florida and end up in Cell Block C wearing a curly blond wig like Aaron Hernandez."

The visual puts a smile on my face the rest of this week, thanks Jax! lol

1. We agree Meyer's leaving UF was dubious and sketchy. But can we at least get in the ballpark of what the stated reason was? I think I'm just gonna say it wasnt cancer, GERD or a heart issue. I'm going with migranes.....that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

2. After 25 years as UF AD, which included 27 conference titles across multiple sports, you think Foley, who's 63 btw, just threw his hands up in disgust and abruptly quit (despite hanging around for another 4-5 months) after a couple of late season losses by his football program with their backup QB after his most recent hire had wildly overachieved with a well ahead of schedule SECCG appearance?

3. Honestly never heard of Foley being called"Fooley Foley". Obviously, around these parts, "Fooley" refers to former disgraced UT coach Derek Dooley.

4. As I mentioned above, Foley is 63 and has been at UF for 25 years......I think that had much more to do with his retirement announcement than any frustration he has with their culture.

Ok.

Just as a few benchmarks for those type of jobs (ages off top of head so plus or minus a little):

1) Dave Hart is 67(?) and states that he is not retiring.
2) Jimmy Cheek is 69 and going back into teaching.
3) Alabama hired Bill Battle to be their 'new' AD at age 71.


Fully confident that Fooley will be back to work within a year or less. Just needed to get away from the jort wearing, mullet heads, who could care less that UF won 19 straight women's gymnasts titles. It is all about money. In SEC, there is one sport that generates the primary revenue...football (exclude KY b-ball).

So did Malzahn....look how that turned out.

I'll reserve judgement on Mc after a couple more seasons.

Part of the irony in these posts is that Foley expressed that part of the reason he was leaving now was because there was no coaching hires needing to be made, no huge mess to clean up and all the programs were in pretty good shape.

Another part of the irony is that the Tennessee athletic department has been a disaster. It's as if someone were actively trying to destroy the baseball and men's basketball programs.

The foolishness of this post is that Dave Hart announced that he was departing because things are in good shape.

On the other hand, Fooley just managed to run a semi-decent basketball coach named Billy Donovan out of town.

Regarding baseball, these records only go back to the 1940's. But, per a study of these championships, we have yet to see Florida win squat. Zero. None. Nary a one. Nothing. Zip.

DI College Baseball - History | NCAA.com

But typing slower such that you can perhaps understand, here in the football forum, we are focused on football = revenue.

Perhaps Fooley is leaving because he has GERD.

The bottom line is this: florida has a bunch of issues on offense and their best player on D is suspended. Mcelewain's a good coach but not great---based on those blowout losses in his last 3 games----starting this year, Butch and Kirby will be taking over the SEC east with florida in 3rd place. Urban Meyer won a national title in his second year at florida and 4th year. Florida fans are not going to sit around for years and let their coach play for 3rd place in the division. Mcelwain better win big soon or he will not be around long!

UGA has a good young quarterback. So for the next 4-5 years, the best that ole Butter Teeth can do is third in the SEC East. He will probably be fired this season. Too many on-going player issues with the Gainesville Green.

I don't see him getting fired this season unless he only wins 5 games..... and then it may only put him on a hot seat. He needs 2 bad seasons imo.
