Everyone told me the Florida is way better than the Ole Miss and Missouri jobs because of Steve Spurrier and decades-old Heismans.

Legends in their own minds.

Florida has had 2 brief periods of greatness surrounded by 100 years of suck. Historically this is closer to their norm than the Spurrier and Meyer years

I told my nephew to go to Florida because they would have a great football program and game day experience. Now I feel terrible.

I keep reading they have solid basketball and baseball programs and football is no more important than those sports. You mean that is just a cope?

LSU has a very great recruiting State and are the only main school in the State and amazing Statium.


Florida is in a very good recruiting State as well, but has 3 major in State schools that have all won titles in the last 30 years...so talent is more spread out. Which is why you need a great coach like Johnson, Spurrier, Bowden etc to win a ton here.


LSU, UF, Miami, FSU can all win titles the talent is there..but need a good coach.

Till the 80's all Florida schools sucked..very, very, very simple reason(home AC necoming affordable) but you morons are very, very, very dumb and say the same stupid shite for some reason..oh yea..very, very low IQ. Seems very simple but some people are very dumb.


Like talking to a 3 year old with special needs.

Bro you havent won a title since color television became a household thing.

OM was nothing before Lane, and even with Lane havent sniffed ATL much less a NC.

Lane is 0-2 vs UF btw. Couldn't even beat Sunbelt Billy, so you may wanna slow your roll.

It’s also crazy to think this new era coincides with UF having its worst coach since the 1940’s and Ole Miss having its best coach since the 1940’s. Maybe it’s because of the coach, not the program.

They can and likely will again at some point.

Coaching matters.

QB completely did not meet expectations. OL sucked.

If either overachieved we would have won against Bama, Ole Miss, and Vandy.

You can say whatever you want, but
900 wins, 19 SEC Titles, 3 nattys (played for 2 others) and only 5 coaches in the last 60 years. The 4 previous coaches all retired in Athens.
