Compiling this from the Florida Gator Subreddit where Stricklin came into an AMA.

''There is a lot of behind-the-scenes activity underway related to facilities. The immediate three priorities remain softball, baseball and a stand-alone football complex. We intend to share additional details about all three of those projects, plus some long-range master plan elements related to all of our athletic venues, in the coming months. Stay tuned!''

''I'm excited for some of the opportunities we have to improve upon the already first-class facilities we have at UF.''

Question for context: Do you see any similar significant changes for BHG on the horizon?

''Yes I do. Renovating BHG is a part of our ongoing master plan process. It may take a while to ramp up to, but it will be fantastic!''

Our AD is easily the best of all time.

I actually think that'd help a lot, but of course maybe we're just old.

The facility upgrades are going to be huge. So glad they decided to build a new baseball stadium and relocate the football complex. Going to be something very special. Finally going to have facilities to match the high standards of the athletics program.

Renovating The Swamp is going to be interesting. I've heard Striklin talk about this before and he gets pretty excited, not afraid to think big.

Wtf has he done? Hes overseen announced plans started by Foley, hired his 3rd choice at HC in football and raised money. That hardly counts as the GOAT

Agree it’s early in his career here, but he has taken those plans and completely overhauled them. Pretty much nothing is the same as Foley had envisioned.

He also pushed very hard to get much needed upgrades to facilities, and going to the Florida Gators Subreddit to connect with fans is pretty boss.

Q: A few years ago, a video was released saying the chomp had to be right arm over left arm. One of our most famous alumni, Tim Tebow, chomps left arm over right arm. Can we get an official video or statement to provide some clarity about the correct chomping form?

A: My understanding is that it's alway supposed to be right-over-left, unless you're naturally left-handed and have won a Heisman Trophy.

Scott Stricklin said once stand-alone, bb, sb facilities complete, upgrading Swamp No. 1 priority. 'The days of fans being OK sitting three hours on a piece of aluminum I think are gone.'


Addition:

Florida has removed the SEC Divisional Championships from The Swamp.

The optics may say he searched some other big names, but everyone knows he wanted Mullen steering the ship.
