Sparky Gator

Doc, I told my son this week that it would take a minimum of 9-3 to keep the wolves at bay next year. And the 3 losses can't come very early in the year. Other than UF having a President in place, I'm not sure finding a replacement will be any easier next season.

I agree Nash, this should be an open & shut case soon enough. The accusations include lots of stuff that should be easy to prove with phone/computer records. If proven true, his career and life won't ever be the same again.

I haven't seen it on my phone. I knew we were bad, but didn't know that had booted us.

Nobody has really accepted OK as an SRC team yet, not even the writer I suppose

Not that he counts, but don't forget Grampa Mack Brown is still coaching.

You realize Utah was a Mountain West school when Urban was there, right? If you're old enough to remember, there was lots of talk when Urban was hired that the "spread" offense they were running wouldn't work in the SEC. "It was going to get your qb hurt" was everywhere.

Ron, I know you simply love to bash other posters, but I explained the prior process. UF has gone the route of hiring the up and comer coaches, and then rewarding them handsomely if they succeed. Billy Donovan, Urban, Sully, Walton, are all examples of newcomers that went to the top of the pay range after success at UF. I'm not saying that's even the proper way to hire, but it has been the way they have done it.

I think Mullen was one of the coaches that despised the new cfb. Chip Kelly seems to be another one. The portal and NIL have them to the point they just want to call plays. I also think Mullen over valued himself and thought an NFL team was going to call him and he could ride away happy.

Because just like the anonymous sources stated, UF has gone after the up and comer coaches. Even Urban was simply a Mountain West coach when UF hired him. I'm not convinced they will get a homerun hire from a P4 school this time....but I believe they will attempt to.

The absolute best part of week 1 is that there will be actual games to talk about next week. Thank goodness talking season is about over.

I usually like your takes PT, but you completely whiffed this time. Sully is known by baseball people to be a tad over protective of his pitchers arms. Arms aren't normally damaged in a weekend series, but over the course of an entire season. Don't let your hate of a person or coach cloud your normal judgment.

It's a free website! They also have websites for the ACC and the B1G. It actually makes them money when they simply run one of their articles from another site over here, and we click on it.

Or simply "get hired as a SEC football head coach". But of course that's not nearly as humorous :)

I understand you're being sarcastic, but it's funny to me that nobody seems to complain that a coach is making $250k a week now, but players signing at schools for NIL contracts is "ruining cfb".

Like the tree that falls silently in the forest, are you really playing basketball in March if nobody fills out a bracket contest for your team?

I think some of the chippy-ness carried over from the NC series last year. Throwing at Cags seemed to help the Gators more than the Tigers. And UF/LSU have become big rivals in everything the last few years.

That burn would be better if the Dawgs were in the real tourney.

No idea on GA law, but he would only have to be .02 in FL to be considered dui, as he's only 20 years old I believe.

According to the information I've read, assistant coa hinges salaries in the NFL are about double most equivalent college positions. Between that and not having to recruit, I would say it's a huge promotion.

That *get made fun of.

For coaches that made fun of for doing a horrible job, they sure keep getting sweet promotions.

*every scholarship player could be paid over $100k a year. TV money is what has ruined cfb.

Problem is a school like Bama that broke even paid the football staff in the neighborhood of $20 million in 2023. Cut that number in half and every schol

Please explain how you think anyone can fix NIL in the USA under current federal laws.

There isn't enough money to pay college players like NFL players get paid, because there are too many teams. Because of that alone, boosters will still be able to pay enough in NIL to effect recruiting.

The collectives and the rogue boosters are simply doing what they have always done. They're paying players to attend "their School".

What's funny to me is there are people that think paying the players and then putting a salary cap on teams would change anything. Even the NFL has no limits on NIL.

One down side of tourney style playoffs is a team can be off one game and be out. Also matchups play a big part of advancing.

There was an article on SDS prior to the game that told us SEC fans not to claim GA would beat both of these teams while watching the game. Next day and click bait Hayes writes that exact article. SDS had become hypocrisy central.

He's coming as a PWO per reports I've seen other places. I'm guessing he can get academic scholarships being as he's a state resident. Good depth for the qb room.
