Huh? That’s the NFL. Totally different than college football. Are you trying to compare Norvell to Spurrier?? Spurrrier won at Duke and from their the rest is history. Norvell has done nothing to show that he is a good coach. It was a risky hire to begin with.I agree that if toxic kids quit playing hard for you you may not be a good coach. Somehow he needed to reduce the poison and so far he has failed at THAT.
But I thought Spurrier was still a good coach even if he did poorly with Washington, as he wasn’t able to handle that culture. He had a longer and better track record of success before the failure but Norvell is a good coach but they need a good psychologist
While Scott Stricklin was searching for Butters replacement, there were only 3 coaches he had in mind, but when Frost got dumb enough(thank God someone involved in the search was turned off by Frost's interview) to consider Nebraska, the thought of Mike Gundy came up but shot it down realizing Gundy is notorious for flirting with other teams just for a pay raise with Okie State. But never did anyone at UF considered Mike Norvell. Thank God it was just the media and a small group of fans who brought up Tagglewain's downgrade of a coach.Huh? That’s the NFL.

There was also the rumored baggage that came with NorvellWhile Scott Stricklin was searching for Butters replacement, there were only 3 coaches he had in mind, but when Frost got dumb enough(thank God someone involved in the search was turned off by Frost's interview) to consider Nebraska, the thought of Mike Gundy came up but shot it down realizing Gundy is notorious for flirting with other teams just for a pay raise with Okie State.

I'm sure if Jeremy Foooley were still the AD, only he would have been stupid enough to consider Cornrows that year.
Looks like whatever baggage he's been carrying has been clearly overshadowed by just his coaching.There was also the rumored baggage that came with Norvell
Very trueLooks like whatever baggage he's been carrying has been clearly overshadowed by just his coaching.
The Gators schedule this year....
Talk about an easy schedule. Lets go game by game FAU- Easy win, so bad Fsu could beat them USF- terrible program right now Bama- will be UFs toughest game and will show if UF has progressed and regressed Tenn- absolutely horrific football team and all of their good players transferred. Poor...florida.forums.rivals.com
You said 4-7 wins here
True. If that UF & FSU game had been played that would of been a loss. They would of lost to Clemson and I think they backed out of another loss last year. Maybe Virginia?
Why did I know you would respond this wayHuh? That’s the NFL. Totally different than college football. Are you trying to compare Norvell to Spurrier??

Huh for real?? I’m not playing these silly games with you that you want to play lately. You have been a good poster but clearly your logic is starting to get really flawed. Maybe it is because the last few years of the FSU debacle have you over the top frustrated. I don’t know but your close to being given a break.If the uf and ou game was any Indication, that fsu and uf game was no gimme for uf
They could only hope to be the usc of any coast. Usc would roll them like a dirty carpet even without a coachI'm gonna say what I did last week. Even if FSU goes 1-11 this year, they need to stay the course with Norvell. Right now he has the #7 recruiting class in the nation and he can feed the recruiting line that YOU can be the player that comes in and rights this ship. YOU can get out there and get on the field as a Freshman.
Can Norvell and you delete any and all momentum they have for building any kind of program. You become USC-west coast.
Western kentucky beat ut-martin by 38
The Utah AD came to UF. The following year he brought the Utah HC to UF.While Scott Stricklin was searching for Butters replacement, there were only 3 coaches he had in mind, but when Frost got dumb enough(thank God someone involved in the search was turned off by Frost's interview) to consider Nebraska, the thought of Mike Gundy came up but shot it down realizing Gundy is notorious for flirting with other teams just for a pay raise with Okie State.

No, SOS got disgusted with Snake Snyder's interference with the HC, forcing his BS on Steve.Why did I know you would respond this way
I even commented that Spurrier had much more success
But he failed at the highest level
Using your locked in mouth breathing logic he sucks
I think you meant the Utah President came to UF (Machen). Not the Utah AD.The Utah AD came to UF. The following year he brought the Utah HC to UF.
The MsSt AD came to UF. He had experience with and wanted Dan at UF.
(the other HC'ing candidates for just for show imo)
Frost is a Neb alum. He wanted to go home and they wanted him, so a match made in heaven.
Cow-Chip Kelly was always a left coast guy, so UCLA was the fit for him,,, thank Gawd!
Meyer/UF began it's decent into the toilet when OC Dan left to HC at MsSt.
The iG wanted and was thrilled to get Dan as the HC.
The only style that Dan has imo, is that he adjusts his system & game plans to fit his players and the opposition for each contest.
So I was also thrilled when 2-star Kyle Trask finally became the starting QB.
Just like I'm very happy with the Gator's current QB room and his choice for starter.
I believed if not for Machen, Fooley's dumbass would have chased someone like Kirk Ferentz or Jeff Tedford. The only great hire for Foooley was Billy Donovan.I think you meant the Utah President came to UF (Machen). Not the Utah AD.

Thanks for the corrections to my posts. It's always helpful to get the corrected info.I believed if not for Machen, Fooley's dumbass would have chased someone like Kirk Ferentz or Jeff Tedford. The only great hire for Foooley was Billy Donovan.
Championships in those other sports are nice and all, but I know a majority of us here care about football championships much more.Thanks for the corrections to my posts. It's always helpful to get the corrected info.
gd3, I think you meant to say only football/basketball hires.... (we can disagree on White)
How may of Foley's other coaching hires have won SEC and/or NC's?
Fair is fair..... Holloway, Sully, Walton, and a long list of others....

Meh, I don't know. Steve wanted the job, and if it hadn't been for Machen demanding Meyer, I find it very hard to believe that Foley would have had the balls to tell Spurrier no.
Now, that said, I think you're right when it comes to Ferentz and Tedford. Had he not had Meyer, and Spurrier isn't an option, those are definitely the kind of guys he would have gone after.
meh probably would have gone full court press for Stoops too, but would have settled on on guys like that.
If he was a helluva coach he wouldn’t be 0-4. I can probably name 40-50!coaches if not more that would have at least 1 win right now and probably could name you at least half thAt many that would have 2 wins right now.

No friggin way FSU has $15.2 million to piss away on Cornrows to walk. Whether we like it or not, Cornrow coach is in Tallahassee to stay for at least another season or two.
FSU just got a new AD and President. Since they had no involvement in hiring or firing Taggart, it arguably makes it easier for them to stick with Norvell in the face of pressure. And the new president is literally from Harvard and probably couldn’t care less about football.
OK, that one's funny.If the uf and ou game was any Indication, that fsu and uf game was no gimme for uf
Don't sell Harvard short. They try to do football the right way, but that Harvard-Yale game is a big deal to them. He gets rivalry.FSU just got a new AD and President.

Maybe. But I like beating them and destroying their dreams better than beating them and adding to the nightmare.The world is a better place when FSU, Miami, and UCF all suck.

Hmmmmm! I smell a decommit sooner rather than later. Could be flipping from FSU to the Dwags. LSU is now poaching Trevion Williams and another FSU commit.I'm gonna say what I did last week. Even if FSU goes 1-11 this year, they need to stay the course with Norvell. Right now he has the #7 recruiting class in the nation and he can feed the recruiting line that YOU can be the player that comes in and rights this ship.

I disagree, of course. Mainly bc this deprives us all of all the other losses they should suffer every season. One of the greatest things in life is an f$u loss. I don’t care who it’s against. And if you go to f$u instead of a real school, you should accept the fact that you settled for a third rate education and you don’t get to have dreams.Maybe. But I like beating them and destroying their dreams better than beating them and adding to the nightmare.
