Other than the Rick Ray hire, he's been really good at MSU.

Marketing is really good, facility improvement has been exceptional. You can only do so much at MSU. Three different sports have been #1 in the polls in the past two years - at Mississippi State. At Florida he would compete for the Directors Cup.

He will be expected to maintain UF's status as one of the top overall athletic programs, but his biggest contribution the next several years would be overseeing a major capital improvement plan. His work on facilities is probably the biggest reason he has been pursued.

He would do well at Florida, but the job is more demanding with shorter ropes, and more athletic programs to work with. In other words, his job at MSU is relatively easy.

Rick Ray was a bad hire but it kinda looks like the Croom hire. He was hired to get the program clean.
