UF hiring Sumrall
not official just yet.
I get Florida sells it self some but this wouldn’t get me excited as a fan.

Or 7-8…I could certainly see Ole Miss drop a spot or two if the coaching situation is that significant.
Something about UF prevents it from sustained success. It’s like they christened themselves a blue blood after finally winning a natty in ‘96. In reality, they’ve been like most schools where they truly have to get an elite HC to compete in (not just win) the SECI get Florida sells it self some but this wouldn’t get me excited as a fan.
It shouldn’t be lost on folks that it’s mostly happening at state-funded schools in state considered “welfare states”. I realize boosters & outside donors typically foot the bill on these big hires but the optics are bad…‘MuricaJesus 3 coaching hires within the span of 15 mins is insane lol
Would you look at that. It seems like at least some schools are learning to negotiate better contracts
The G5 continues it’s journey to be the farm system for the P4 for both players & coaches. This should accelerate the move to one or two mega conferences and eventually players becoming full-time employees w/ collective bargaining rights & scholastic obligations optional. Grab your popcorn!The SEC hiring cycle including 3 coaches from the same G5 conference is pretty crazy.

Davies...WeissGreat now Sumrall gets more mention in the media and we get to hear idiot fans refer to him as Summerall.
What we are about to see might be unprecedented. Rumors from the Ole Miss side are that not only is Lane leaving, but the coaches and players he is taking with him to LSU are opting out of the rest of the season.
We almost got left out for not having a coach.
FSU got screwed over by losing their QB.
Ole Miss might not have a coach, their QB, and a dozen others missing as well.
No, they are not excited, they were all in emotionally on Kiffin but with the below:I get Florida sells it self some but this wouldn’t get me excited as a fan.
I think in the long run UF dodged a bullet here. If Sumrall doesn't work out you cut bait with a low buyout. When Lane crashes out in 3 years at LSU they're gonna be paying his 50M+ buyout on top of Kelly's.
W/r/t the Kiffin situation at Ole Miss
Except it's the grownups doing all that crapMaybe he should quit covering the SEC. Great athletes with no brain or thinking ability.
