I think Sumrall will end up being the best off-season hire.

Was glad he didn't end up at auburn.

Doesn't matter. You will bail on this guy the moment you realize he's not the second coming of Urban Meyer.

considering I nearly bailed once it was clear that he wasn’t lane kiffin you may be righit I also have accepted Florida is basically a dead program in football in this era and maybe just is moving forward so I may eventually tune out permanently especially since CFB in general is losing its appeal with its non stop expansion of playoffs and the portal nonsense

Bruce Feldman did a piece on going to Gainesville and left saying this is the best hire Florida’s made in 20 years

He said he can’t believe it’s the same place he was at a year earlier, which is pretty big indictment of how bad Billy was

pundits said the same thing about Billy comparing him to Mullen

So…we’ll see

But at least sumrall is entertaining in his press conferences and interviews, so even if he’s Billy 2.0 on the field at least he has that going for him

When they showed the promo video of him yelling "Family" together the rest of the team looked like, wtf you mean we're family.

No one ever said this, why do you spew lies? Billy was the inversion of Mullen, organized and focused on recruiting. That also meant a terrible game day head coach as well but I digress.

I’m far from a Florida fan but the older I get I root for people and he’s a great dude.

Nobody at Tulane had a negative thing to say about him and Auburn will wish they would have hired him

Quite a few “insiders” (such as KC Gator and Gary) used to gush about the “new energy” and “organization” Billy was building. It was all off field stuff as you mentioned he was complete trash on gameday but there was so much hype about how Billy “changed and cleaned up Mullen’s mess” off field during the first two seasons in particular

So you're going off what a couple of fans "hoped" for. This is not the same as "the whole fan base was convinced he turned it around."

Are you capable of saying anything nice about the supposed school you support? Or do you just like trolling "your" own fans?

Either way, you're full of shite, disingenuous, and not a true supporter of Florida.

I suppose a “true supporter of Florida “ should make beta cringe threads that invite ridicule and attacks from other fan bases like this:

I believe that he is very likable and I do like him, doesn’t mean he’ll be successful in the sec though.

Many people said similar things about Billy but it quickly became clear that that was all spin from his team.
Sumrall seems like the real deal in that he hasn’t exposed himself as an arrogant douche yet the way Billy did.

Golesh has been way less successful in comparison to Sumrall.

Jon has the right demeanor and attitude, now he needs to win football games. He has checked all the boxes before coaching a game. Ready to get the full picture.

Golesh's highlight is beating a terribly lead Florida team.

Sumrall made the playoffs.

The two really aren't similar.

true but usf under Jeff Scott was a much bigger shite show than Tulane was under Fritz

Previous success at a smaller school doesn’t always indicate what will happen at the next stop.

For example, in basketball Matt McMahon beat golden head to head in the tourney and was considered to be a hotter name yet golden won a natty and McMahon got fired in 4 years at their next stop.

It’s a crapshoot and not an exact science predicting who will end up being a great hire

Golesh inherited a program that went 1-11 under Jeff Scott while Sumrall inherited a program that beat usc in the cotton bowl under Fritz

I meant it tongue-in-cheek, but if Sumrall wins us a natty, I don't care what he does after, he will have brought us back
