Facilities matter for recruiting. Kids want to go to a school that invests in its athletic program.

Foley got away with have shite facilities because Urban and Billy were really good. IMO Meyer did not press as hard as Mac is for facilities upgrades. Billy did press before he left.

That's an interesting way to say that kids want fancy stuff and want to be catered to.

Let's not mince words with what goes on with recruiting. It's an arse kissing contest and a display of how cushy life can be and how fancy shite is. Why are people so willing to commit millions of dollars to this arse kissing contest yet so reluctant to then admit to what it is?

Nothing at UF is "shite". The lack of perspective on this issue is mind numbing.

So was Spurrier. That's really the point here: find good coaches because good coaches win and they know how to produce a winning product and it's demonstrated every time they take the field. Facilities or not, good coaches can win. And winning is worth more than any facility upgrade. That's an important point that Meyer understands, Spurrier understands, and Saban understands. That's why they are focused the most on winning. And it's a point more fans need to understand.
