Read today on a reddit thread about how even though Colorado's athletic department is projected to be ~$27M in debt this year, it's still a good deal because Deion brought business to Boulder. One even argued that without Deion, CU doesn't get a Big 12 invite.
By most accounts, he was a good coach under Napier.
Either he or Napier have a good eye for talented backs, even if they don't know what to do with them.
Many had assumed that he would have taken over as interim after Napier was fired, not Gonzalez.
It sounds like he was on the "do not rehire" list due to the LSU fight. Not sure if there was anything else behind the scenes.
I could totally see that. Sumrall is represented by a different agent.
There were a handful of hit pieces that came out as soon as Florida backed off of Kiffin with behind the scenes details that a lot of Gators took as gospel since they were mad at Stricklin anyway.
Since then, a lot of it has been refuted by people like Danny Wuerffel who was heavily involved in the process and is much more trustworthy than Kiffin or Sexton. And as more of Kiffin's shenanigans have come to light, it's looking more and more like Sexton used his connections to try to make Florida look bad.
I can't believe Stricklin finally added a mitigation clause.
It's pretty clear that looking at Kiffin's contract with LSU, he took the deal from UF and negotiated with it because I am pretty sure LSU would have put in a mitigation clause if they could have.
As is Bob Chesney.
Didn't Sark do the same? Announced at Texas at the end of the regular season but stayed at Bama to coach the SECCG and playoffs?
Pretty sure it's the standard, at least as far as conference title games go. Bowls have been mixed.
