Billy is young and hungry to prove himself. He knows he has to sell himself to recruits. I see him going out and putting the effort into convincing people to come to Florida.

I think Riley and Kelly, particular Kelly, already have an established reputation and I just don’t think they’re going to have the same fire in their bellies to prove themselves. They’ve already gotten their big pay off and they’re already well regarded as coaches. Kind of like Mullen, who we had to hear every week was a genius. Overtime you lose your fire and your drive.

I think Billy‘s got the fire in the drive and the desire to prove himself. I think he has that more than Kelly and even more than Riley. Riley strikes me as somebody that’s more willing to take the easy way out, although you can’t fault a guy for that contract and getting the live in Southern California and not having a coach in the SEC. He’s more likely to win a championship out there than he ever was in Oklahoma in the SEC.

My two cents on the hirer
