It’s stupid to hire a coach and not give him enough time to suceed. He’s just getting his recruiting classes up. Future coaches should be wary.

“Stupid” has nothing to do with firing head football coaches at UT. It’s a tradition!

Some believe even Darryl Royal would have been fired had he hung around another year or two. Akers was fired with a winning percentage of somewhere over 80 %. David McWillams was fired.

Only the very, very, very best coach can survive at UT. Charlie is not that. Why let him continue to twist in the wind? Time for Charlie and UT to move on.

My father was a sportswriter at a major Fla newspaper and in private conversations he used to say that Univ. of Florida was the graveyard of coaches. The powerful Alumni would NOT let the coaches run the program, that is until Steve Spurrier got there. Urban Meyer used Fla as a stepping stone to his Ohio State Job. Will Muschcamp was back to musical coaches.

Musical coaches is a very, very expensive game.
