When did this happen?

That is no myth. Your facilities are nowhere near the SEC elite.


Some areas are, some maybe not (i.e. weight room near the top, but lack in locker room). We are getting upgrades, but these things are cyclical. When we did major renovations several years ago facilities in the SEC looked much different.

1. Urban was the highest paid coach in the country after 2006

2. Florida went through major renovations in 2008 during Meyer's run.

Urban didn't leave due to Foley, he left because he broke the program and didn't want to put in the time to fix it

He had an effing heart attack dude. Has nothing to do with ADs being cheap. Ohio is home for him. Stars aligned. Very similar to Harbaugh hire for Mich.

Except Florida never offered Freeze, never interviewed Freeze, and never met with Freeze in person. This shows your ignorance about Florida's program.

I am INCREDIBLY ignorant about your program because unlike EVERY OTHER SEC program your dirty laundry barely ends up here. And its not just an East thing. I know why Georgia lacks an IPF, the reason for USC's caboose thing, and EXACTLY why Tenn sucks shite today but I don't know shite about your program.

And threads like this is why. I do my best to shellshock yall with a good troll and I don't get a single one of you to come out from under the bed. Some thread half this good would have had almost every other fanbase in the SEC frankly talking to me about their shortcomings halfway through the second page, but NOOOOOOOO not you fricking Florida people. Yall have this "perfect" combination of intelligence and Yankee apathy that prevents me from figuring out how the frick to make yall spill the beans.

I will figure it out one day. Not today though, and maybe not until I am in a retirement home (so I can finally use all the correct references).

No, it was terrible and I feel terrible about it.

This is why no one even TRIES to troll UF. Yall were fricking FORCED to buy a $7 million dollar coach because your AD is so un-ninja with the media they knew what toilet he was going to shite in before he does, yet we BARELY give you any shite for it here. Like 1% of what the poor corndogs get for a single coordinator hire. You might as well not even be a SEC team for the purposes of this board.

It is sad. Yall seem like a fun fanbase on paper, and then the rubber meets the road and it feels like you are dealing with the Syracuse of the South. I am not asking for that much, just your deep down unguarded hopes and fears about the state of your program. But NOOOOOOOO, yall have to have a reasonable answer for everything that keeps me at arm's length.

I will say that interactions with UF fans on this forum have made me wish FSU was SEC, I mean if they weren't so fricking poor. I know I could troll the hell out of them Free Shoes folks.

Meanwhile UF had Urban leave for the most BS reason in modern football. He acts like he is done-for, but obviously still had enough in the tank for another title. It is VERY VERY obvious that he made an excuse to hop to another elite program rather than clean up/face the issues at UF.


Anybody that actually believes this is a frickING MORON.

The simple reason for that:

Meyer resigned at the end of 2010
Tressel resigned at the end of May 2011

Meyer had no fricking clue the Ohio State job was going to become available after he left Florida.

No, but some job would. Seems like every year or every other year on average there is at least one top 10 opening, but there is only one Urban Meyer. If the Ohio St. job wasn't there he could have gone to USC, Texas, Penn St., or Nebraska recently and had a top job without the SEC hassle.

No offense cornhat, but that is ridiculous.

First of all NO ONE, not even the famous self-depreciating Ole Miss fans, just comes clean with good information on the Rant. The way this place is designed you always have your guard up. Even without that element, like I met you in a bar, you might still be hesitant to let me see dirty laundry that only the fanbase really knows about. That is why I engage in constant mental manipulation.

The second problem with "just asking" is that UF fans BARELY post on this forum, and when yall do it is a small post. Seriously, go look at another UF thread and you will find one single-sentence post after another. Yall have the brevity of a Bama fan, without the lack of intelligence to explain the need for brevity. I have my own theory- you UF fans feel you are above the SEC. Sure sure you carry the banner when you have to, but between the rare (for the SEC) AAU membership, the overall good AD, and the Yankee local base you also have one foot out the door on the south. It seems all the irrational passion for football in your state got put into FSU fans, and that you UF fans are only willing to tolerate this lowbrow hobby when it is going good for you. That would explain the one word answers, and why yall are barely on here despite being the permanent rival of the primary team that drives this forum.




Maybe I am wrong though, maybe UF is the one program in the entire south that is willing to let me look under the sheets for just saying the magic word. Here are some starter questions, but if you don't want to answer please don't deflect as it only proves my point:

-Do y'all feel if Foley knew McElwain had that crazy $7 million buyout he would have still pursued him?

-Follow up question if no: If Foley wouldn't have been caught in the livingroom of McElwain by the press do yall think he would have backed out when he learned the buy-out? Like if it was all in secret.

-I got a feeling that McElwain didn't even know he was locked in with such a huge buyout. Am I correct in your opinion?

-Most of the time "destination" jobs are the last major stop in college for a college coach- either you flop so hard you are at a mid major or you do so well the NFL hires you. Yet in the last month-ish we have watched one former UF coach win a title, and another was seen as the biggest splash hire of the SEC offseason. Heck, even Spurrier didn't take up his old visor after the NFL. What is it about UF that makes it such an unstable place for coaches in your opinion?

FINAL MEGA BONUS ROUND:

-UF has watched FSU turn into what is easily the most corrupt program in college football. I personally think the police department defending their QB is worse than anything Miami did. Does it make yall nevious to have such a loose cannon (in such a weak conference) going off in your state? Do yall have some plan, via investigative reporting or some political power play, to bring them back to a level playing field?


I have about five more questions like that I would love to ask a UF fan, but we have to start somewhere after years of pent upness.

OK, I'm going to say this, and what's scary is that it's not an exaggeration... but you may be the dumbest poster on the entire rant.

Congratulations and up vote.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I'll try to answer your ridiculous questions just because I'm bored...

1. If you believe that Jeremy Foley, a major Athletic Director walked into that living room without some idea about the buy out, then I don't even know what to say. You probably believe the lunar landing was faked.

2. You think McElwain didn't know he had a buyout? Seriously? LIKE ARE YOU frickING SERIOUS?

3. I don't see how it is that unstable. It just seems that way right now because UF has had some serious bad coaching for about 5 years now and has a lot of turnover in their assistants in that time. No one thought it was unstable back in 2009 and had Muschamp been successful and not a total failure, he probably would have stayed for many many years.

4. OMG! WHAT IS FLORIDA GOING TO DO! FSU IS GOOD AND THEY'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD BEFORE!!!?!?!?! Oh wait... that's right, FSU was in the top 5 for like 15 years in a row in the 80's and 90's, which you would know if you were older than 16. And I guess UF sucked then too and couldn't do anything to stop it... oh wait... UF won the SEC during that same stretch 4 times in a row one time and basically dominated the SEC during the 90's? FSU has ALWAYS been dirty. They are called the criminoles for a reason. Sometimes it works for them, sometimes not. Not really worried about it. Do you know why they are called Free Shoes U? Probably not.
