Just like Rich Rod at Michigan, McElwain never fit it at Gainesville. The funny irony is Randy Shannon an alumni of the U now is the interm head coach. Go 'Canes!!! Back up the truck and bring in Chip Kelly. Bring the Fun 'n Gun back.

Don’t see how Jones survives at Tennessee and the LSU disaster probably sealed Malzahn’s fate.

No way Jones will survive after losing to Kentucky.

Yep we sure did.

I don’t buy this poppycock that Florida is hurting themselves by getting rid of bad coaches, Alabama went through their share before they finally hit on Saban.

But they’d better get it right this time.

I have read that Tennessee cannot afford to fire Jones right now. Just not enough money.

I heard Tennessee is willing to offer Gruden $10 million a year.

1. Spurrier

2. Trump resigns, as does Pence.

3. New Prez Paul Ryan appoints Hillary VP, and does the right thing and resigns.

4. Hillary Prez.

The best coach in the country who no one wants, well no one but Troy, is Neal Brown.

The Georgia Bulldawgs destroyed Florida yesterday.

That was the final loss.

Saw one person comment.

“Guess those death threats were real, Georgia killed him.”

Money is not the problem. I told friends when they fired Fulmer that we would go through the valley of the shadow of death for 10 plus years. Sadly,I was right.
