That's just like, your opinion, man.

Boosters will not be welcomed to suggest firing anyone on a staff that has had 2 years to build a program and have been in the SECCG twice.

That's funny. The people writing those big checks are welcomed to suggest anything they want, at any time they want. They are not obligated to keep any money flowing into the program. Right or wrong, if they feel their input is unwelcome, they will take those dollars to a new venture.

Kneejerk reactions are common in every SEC fanbase....its the passion.

This is not kneejerk. Recruits and boosters are going to want to see positive trajectory. They view committing here as an athlete or as a big money booster to be like an investment in some ways.

The SEC East means nothing - you have proof of that now with the playoff issue. As of now, Ohio St is considered a lock. They didn't win their own division. But they traveled and beat OU on the road so they have strong SOR.
The East is garbage yet UF has to play it. Clearly though, winning it won't mean anything. Mark my words here - the game against Michigan will do more to determine UF's fate in the rankings than anything at all related to the East.
CFB conference, divisions etc, it's all worthless now. Bowls are worthless. It's only about the playoff. The NCAA has killed CFB. So you have to stop with these arguments about winning the East. It's now officially meaningless unless the committee lives up to its word and puts PSU in the playoff and drops OSU out. But that doesn't appear likely.

That said, the barometer is Bama - be on that level, which is playoff level, or else.

Winning the East is not a mark that Mac has done well. It's not even an achievement that should be valued. The committee is responsible for that.

If boosters don't see UF on playoff trajectory they will be sure to let Strickland know. If recruits don't see that trajectory, they are going to bail.


Again, thank the NCAA, thank the committee. I think they've destroyed CFB.

Thats just a joke UF...calm down. It isnt directly pointed at anyone

Yes I did note it was my opinion...have I been wrong? Sure. I predicted Thompson was going to be our savior at RB and that didnt happen. Would I stake my life on Spurrier not returning to be an OC at UF? No I wouldnt but Id put odds at 5000 to 1 at best.
