My head understands and agrees, but Lord, my heart is none too happy with the boat we are in.
Still tho’, the girl in me keeps asking - why we can’t can ‘em both now ;)
1. The buy out's pretty big....no one would be happy with that.
2. If you can them both now..you first have to hire an AD..that's gonna take time..and then the new AD hires the coach..and by that time...most of the good candidates will have already been taken.
Thus you'd have to settle for someone who's probably worse than Boom...
Also, recruiting would have collapsed by then..the top prospects, even if inclined towards UF, don't want to come into a totally chaotic scene..every other coach will be pointing that out to them.
Boom will stay, but he's doomed to failure, and firing, next season..he doesn't have the skill set to turn it around, find an offense..and he won't be able to recruit either for 2015..it's the best option of a lousy choice.
Also, about those reports that he has to replace a lo of his staff. That won't be easy, because they'll know that he's likely a goner..so why come here for a one year gig...because the NEXT coach has to be allowed to pick his own staff.
Sad to say...Gators are likely 3-4 years away from returning to the top ten ranking..they're looking at 4-5 conference losses each season for the near future...plus getting clobbered by FSU and Miami for several more years.
They lack a QB for next year, and likey the year after.. Next coach will demand a 4-5 year contract..and look for him to lower expectations early on..tell the fans it's gonna take time.
Nope...they'll start looking for an AD immediately..hopefully one who has some contact with Chris Peterson..
