From the GatorsWire/USA Today piece "It's a terribly tough time to be a Florida Gator" published today:

I spoke with Pat Dooley, who has been covering the Gators for longer than many of our readers have been alive, about the difference between former athletic director Jeremy Foley, who was responsible for the golden age of Gators sports, and current AD Scott Stricklin. His simple answer was that the former focused on the personnel themselves while the latter is all about infrastructure first and foremost.

So Foley prioritized people and performance, while Stricklin seemingly solely cares about facilities. As somebody on Twitter astutely put it: why can't we have both?

The article is kind of a rambling mess, but some good tidbits in it.
