Don’t yall accept like 98% of applicants? Isn’t that pretty much a community college?

There are two obvious UF trolls on this board. One is wildly optimistic. The other is wildly negative. Both are very successful at what they do.

Honestly, Napier was not thought of as a bad hire at the time he was hired. He asked for, and received, many more resources than the coaches before him. We now have facilities that match up with anyone, significant NIL funds and a huge pool for assistants.

No one knew he was going to bring in a bunch of his sycophants as assistants and use up that entire pool for mostly guys from a G5 program. Everyone saw that he had to give up play calling, except him of course. Most 3 year olds can count to 11, but Billy couldn’t find someone to do that to make sure the right number of players were on the field.

The reason we think it will go better is because we are finally committed to funding football operations and it takes one stupid, stubborn guy like Napier to do so little with so much.

Fisch wouldn't be terrible as an alumni for it, especially on the booster side. Someone out of left field like Lincoln Riley would work. A good coordinator (Stein or Hartline) might work depending on staff hires.

Kiffin might not be coming to UF, but Spivey doesn't know shite :lol: :lol:

There is zero chance this is true. It got refuted by several insiders immediately.

Athletic relevance? We won the national championship in basketball last year. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Drink to me is the worst possible candidate.

#1 He would be extremely expensive. He already makes $9 million a year. Paying him $13-15 million a year would be idiotic, especially due to the reasons below.

#2 He would not satisfy my main criteria for the next coach which is firing up the fanbase. Napier sucked all the juice out of the program. We need someone who will get the Swamp rocking, boosters donating money, and impressing recruits. Drink does not have the attitude or demeanor to do that. He would immediately piss off half the fanbase or more. He seems like a mix of Mullen and Mac, which is potentially the worst possible combination of attitudes.

#3 From an X's and O's standpoint, I am not sure how much of his success is due to Kirby Moore. Nothing seems overly impressive.

Due to this, I think he has both the lowest ceiling and lowest floor of the potential coaches. And he would be too expensive to fire quickly. A Drink regime would have the potential for kneecapping us until the 2040's.

They actually have a handful of really rich boosters backing the program and use Ruiz to mouth off to keep the attention off them. Ruiz has a pretty sketchy past and I wouldn’t be shocked if he actually wasn’t worth nearly as much as he portrays.

You have it 100% right on the academic side. And honestly, that side could give a crap about athletics. As someone said earlier in the thread, it’s a very international student body.

Most “fans” of the program are trashy people from Miami-Dade and Broward county. Like Raiders fans or Philly fans. With absolutely zero ties to the university.
