How can you give Foley a pass on Zook when Spurrier quit at the last minute because of Foley?
Foley's job depends on it. His wagon is firmly hitched to Coach Mac.Football will be back

If football goes 8-4 next year but our new hire in basketball wins the NCAA championship...then in 2016 football goes 8-4(or similar) is Foley immediately on the burning seat?
Foley must have stolen somebody's girlfriend.
Football is king at UF - everyone knows that.
How many years did Suprrier work under Foley?
I remember every January from 1994 up to the day he left that Spurrier's name was mentioned for nearly every NFL opening. He finally saw what was the right fit when his long time friend Pepper Rodgers was on staff in.Washington.
Why does Foley not get credit for keeping Spurrier happy all of the years they worked together.
And as far as knee gate rumor. The Steve Orr Spurrier I know was never the shy one. He never bit his tongue. He spoke his mind.
Has Spurrier ever been quoted as saying he left because Foley didn't back him during Docket Knee Gate? Anywhere?
Football may be king to you and many others but UF is FAR more than that. The AD has a responsibility to the entire university.....not just those of us who focus totally on football.
Never did understand why you guys jettisoned Dave "Spanky" Hart. I guess he and the President at the time did not see eye to eye?My two cents. Jurich at Louisville would be at the top of my list. If it makes anyone feel better....please feel free to take Stan Wilcox off our hands.
He's right though. Football is not only king at UF, it's king everywhere. Only football and basketball are profitable from year to year. Now that doesn't mean any of the other sports are unimportant or shouldn't be celebrated for their successes, but they aren't possible without the revenue from the two major sports, football especially. There's a reason even traditional basketball schools and academics like Stanford are investing heavily in football, it's where the cash is.

Look at Michigan St where clearly basketball is king, even they are jumping on and dumping loads of money into football after a few years of success. Football pays the bills

SOS did tire of fans expectations when losing a game or 2 was a major disappointment. However, Foley's non-support of him in knee-gate was the final straw.

Oh I fully admit it's more of an opinion than anything...but an opinion based on sports media reports and Foley's public statements on the matter back in the day.Besides message board rumor over the years, where is this documented? I'm not trying to discredit anything you are saying.
As I said, the Steve Orr Spurrier never hesitated to say what he wanted. He never bit and still doesn't bite his tongue. Why has Spurrier never said this over the years?
