re: Who Was The One Coach Your Program Shouldn't Have Fired?

I'd argue Dickey to Pell was worse. Pell brought so many violations and didn't even win.

Pell was the one who ran off the misfits and druggies out the program.
The weight room, the living facilities, and to a certain extent, the stadium were all a mess. Pell came in and cleaned it up.
Coach Pell started the Gator Boosters. Did you know that?
Coach Pell was a win-at-all-costs coach. And we paid dearly for it even though we weren't doing anything different from any other program in the south.
He did lay the foundation for the success that is today, imo.
