re: What was the SEC worst football coaching hire ever?

Will Muschamp. Took UF to never before seen lows, it's money and recruits. GD I hate Foley

How old are you? You forget the 0-10-1 season, or you just never knew it existed?

You obviously do not remember Charlie Pell ... or were the sanctions, the public scandal, the loss of 20 scholarships and having a SEC title vacated and retracted worth the wins in the early 80s?

Muschamp was bad. We all have a tremors and eye twitches seeing him and thinking of the repeated displays of ineptitude. But it's a fresh wound.

Foley is the best AD in the nation. Not even close. UF has had the best all around athletic program in the SEC for decades now. It's hovered at the top 3 or so in the nation for most of that time. It's truly remarkable considering UF has not fielded nearly as many sports as other schools. Plus, UF's athletic department turns a profit each year. Few schools can say that. FSU gets handouts. UF pays it's own bills. That's because of Foley. The growing revenue in big time college sports is an ever growing bubble and one day that bubble will burst. When it does, we'll be very, very happy that Foley was so "cheap". If that happens, UF may be one of very few schools in the nation to sustain a true athletic program. Doak Campbell will go into mothballs and Florida Field will still be hosting big time football games.
