Agree, there were not too many jobs he would have left for but this was one of

them. Wish him the best and thank him for his service.

Heck of a good run for him here. Good luck to Strickland (don't ban me HD6).

Can't say that I blame him, especially if the reported $1.4M is true.

In that picture, he doesn't have the top button buttoned. Does that mean he'll be turning over a new leaf at Florida??

We didn't want him anyway. We weren't going to have room for him next year.

He's going to look goofy as hell doing the gator chomp.

I admire your devotion 8, but many keep some distance between their heart and their pocketbook.

i guess the term "dream job" doesnt go as far as it used to. that sucks. our lot in life is to identify talent enough for someone else to scoop them up OR hire somebody that nobody else really wants for one reason or another and hope that we dont get stuck in a position where they really suck at their job.

He didn't disown, or abandon us. It's a business decison that a lot of people would take. He is still a Bulldawg, but he is taking a job where he makes about 3x what his current salary is.

Agree with this. It doesn't make him a bad person or anything (in fact probably healthier psychologically) but he and I have different outlooks on life.

Hopefully the next can be qualified, competent, and willing to stay forever.

Some peoples ambition is to rise to the top of their profession. Different

strokes for different folks. It ain't all about the alma mater for some folks, just the way it is.

Let's stay classy.

No doubt, I have a couple of friends that feel the same way you do about it.

Taking it hard.

Wish the guy good luck, he was a good fund raiser type of guy but lets all be real here, he's not a leader, the type that takes control of the reigns and slaps a bull on his *** type. Dude made a big mistake in the Ray hiring, he would never have the nuts to let Dan go if need be. From all the reports is that he didn't have a hand in the Ben Howland hire. So he hasn't made a good hire and everything was already set into motion before he got promoted. I'm sure we can find just as good. Just go with a younger guy and we will be ok.

LOL! From all the reports = the people who didn't like Stricklin and don't want to give him credit.

Can't believe he'd leave for a lousy $75,000 a month more than we were paying. Where's the loyalty? *****

On the bright side...

We've now got a State grad leading one of the top 3 athletic departments in the country. If he does well there, it can't hurt to have another advocate in the conference who can take our side if need be.
