I'd like to know where you are hearing grumblings?
Sticklin was named AD of the Year last year by the Sports Business Journal. We lost the SEC all-sports title by the slimmest margin to A&M last year and are right in the hunt this year, even with Arkansas and Bama having breakout years.
Mostly amongst fans that follow all sports, a lot of frustration with the decline we've seen in a number of sports. I've heard there is some concern in the admin as well, but don't think he's on the hot seat at the moment or anything.
My biggest gripe with him at this point is how slow he is to react. The soccer program should have never been allowed to get this bad. He continues to stick with Cam for women's bball despite his absymal record which stands out even in our long history of mediocrity, and it certainly looks bad considering this is one of his few hires. Golf programs, women's tennis, men's basketball. Stricklin does some good things, his facility stuff is great and probably why he was named AD of the year. But he was also tasked with maintaining the standard, and the current state of the program is not meeting expectations.

Yes I addressed each of these above, and also throw in the last 14 months dealing with COVID, he may win another award this year. Let's not even bring up all the expansion going on at UF while our sister school out west is 26 mil in the red for the last fiscal year and the gold standard Stanford is cutting out some sports altogether.
You can grumble all you want, but some of these coaches have built up some tenure and you can't fire a third of them for a down year when you have won multiple national titles.
With so much instability in sports overall (I am talking about the transfers, opt outs and political climate now) you have to think long and hard about what you are doing in not just the short term, but also long term. Does it really matter if we finish 8th or 12th in WBB?
