Florida is a good academic school without ridiculous entrance requirements. It also lies in one of the most talent rich areas in the country for student athletes. It is a good situation.
Folley was OK but gets way too much credit. He hired Spurrier and Meyer but also Muschamps and Zook. Facilities are mediocre for SEC standards. He isn't all that he is cracked up to be.

He didn't hire SOS. SOS was already there when JF became AD. Machen played a big part in getting Meyer. Factor in the disastrous decision to hire a completely unproven HC in Mike White and the 10 yr deal to Sullivan with a $4.5M buyout to the list of wtf moves.

The number of AD's that can match his accomplishments are few and far between.
The remarkable thing about him is that he worked his way up from the ticket office and ended up running one of the most successful ADs in the country for 25 years. Under his watch the Gators have won more SEC titles than most SEC schools have in their entire history. Not to mention national titles in 13 different sports. Some may not like him and he certainly had some mistakes, but he is one of the all time greats in his profession.
