    I know. I was just giving a different example to show that this is typical of every coaching search. The fanbase always wants the opposite of what they had before. Ex. Mullen was the proven guy with a track record of success both at UF as a coordinator and Miss St. as head coach. He failed, so the fanbase wanted the up and comer who had proven all he could at a G5 school and was ready to bring that success to the P5. (The Urban Meyer Type).

    That schedule is complete cheeks. Any loss before the ACCCG should be a fireable offense with cause.

    Fans want someone that will score points, recruit in the top 10, and be competent on defense. There is no reason that half our games shouldn’t be automatic wins. Feels like a lot of boosters want someone that will kiss their ass.

    Well no shit. It's pretty black and white for fans. Give me the guy who will win. DUH.

    IMO it's more that boosters want influence and to be power brokers. They want to bring in their guy and be known as the person who brought in the guy that brought school X back to power. Miami legit had a power struggle over firing Manny (that's why it took so long to get Mario on board) because the booster who previously wielded the most power on the BoD was responsible for getting Manny back from Temple and didn't want to admit it was a mistake. To those kind of people the ability to wield influence/power>>>>winning.

    Funny Gibbons left as soon as UF fell off under Mullen

    Either that or he’s in prison for being a Jan 6er

    It’s not just winning. It’s the lack of competence that our teams and staffs have had and refusal to improve on the glaring issues.

    Franks played over Trask.
    Emory played over AR.
    Mertz is going to play over Lagway.
    Rinse. Repeat.

    Like we all know the biggest problem is Billy as offensive coordinator. All other problems can be traced to it. But he won’t give it up. Hence he has to be fired and humbled with $20 million.

    The funny thing is that Mullen was probably right in preferring Carson Beck over Anthony Richardson. Would’ve ruined him though. AR got out before Billy could.

    Did he ever say/do outright racist stuff here (I guess other than being a cop?) I just don’t recall much from him other than just spamming the board with a million different shitty threads and basically being a content aggregator.

    He would post the most innocuous news story but use a tweet from the daily wire to do it. Then play dumb about it.

    not that I'm aware of. He's been gone for a while though. People change.
    That's enough for certain segments of TMB.
    The Miami Heat thread, Dolphins thread, and Marlins thread have all pretty much died since he left.

    Before I left they were still using terms like f*g. Just a bunch of immature man babies. Did have some good recruiting info from time to time. But we sucked so in the end none of it mattered.

    there are several that are cool and not racist with Kamala signs in their yards but 95% are trumpers and that’s in a really progressive city

    Kelly expressed interest. I don’t recall anything about Lincoln Riley, supposedly he wasn’t a fan of Oklahoma going to the SEC so wouldn’t make much sense for him to come here.

    While I do think he would probably say no, if I’m Florida I make Drink say no. Dude is underrated because he’s nerdy. But if he can win at Mizzou, he can win at Florida.
