Jeremy Foley hired multiple head coaches at UF, Ron Zook, Will Muschamp and Jim McClewain, all colossal busts, he did hire Urban Meyer and he did hire Billy Donovan and the current baseball coach who all won national titles, overall his record is spotty at best.
We are still suffering, Nebraska went in the tank when they went away from what they are, a power running team where they dominated teams on the line of scrimmage, they tried to go spread offense and passing and have failed since Osborne retired.
Was Foley really the one who decided to hire Urban Meyer or was it his former boss Bernie Machen who leaned on Foley to hire Urban Meyer and who did a lot to sell Meyer on taking the UF job over the Notre Dame job?
PS. I couldn’t even bear to listen to the show Saturday night. I knew the kind of drunks and idiots who were going to call in to spew their stupidity and I knew you were going to ream them out for it. LOL! We’re gonna live and die on the development of a young QB this year....and did anybody realistically expect to compete for championships in year 1 with all the holes in the roster the new coaching regime inherited? If so, they were fools. Its gonna take about 3 full recruiting classes to get us up to par with the Alabama’s and the Georgia’s. I hate being patient as much as the next Gator but, there’s no alternative. Inside the Huddle should be interesting this week hearing what SOS and Shane think.
When defensive coordinator Charlie McBride retired the Blackshirts ceased to exist. That was the beginning of the downfall, in my opinion.
