Foley always kept them at arms length and this article suggests that Stricklin may be a bit different in the way he handles the press. You'll have to scroll through all the UF/LSU stuff some.

Forget the Gators not wanting to fight their battles in the media, Florida through its own actions can no longer expect the media to step up and do so for it without being asked or passed along information to help towards that end. In addition to disseminating information about your organization, the job of communications and media relations is to develop relationships with journalists in order to maximize positive coverage. UF is currently struggling in that regard. The good news for the Gators, though, is that new AD Scott Stricklin understands how important that can be for an athletic program. Having previously served in such a role, Stricklin used that experience when he decided to stand face-to-face with journalists while getting grilled over Mississippi State allowing Jeffrey Simmons to enroll this past year. There are a lot of questions about how Stricklin will change Florida, but I have a feeling this is one area in which there could be marked improvement over the next couple of years. If not, it will be a continued slide in the wrong direction for Florida.

He is not afraid to get roasted by the press. Not sure if that is a good thing or not.

That was Foley's only weakness. His understanding of social media was at a "retirement home" level.

He was quite comfortable talking with anyone. He was, in a politician way, able to answer most anything and put a positive spin on it. He was even able to spin the warm up TSUN t shirts back on Adidas when you know very well someone on our campus thought that it would be cute. No way Adidas would have done that on their own.
