Was going to mention him a few weeks back when there was a discussion about new coaches. Maybe he is the equivalent of the 4A baseball player that thrives at the Triple A level, but can’t quite cut it in the majors.

Or else you could say he was always looked at as an outsider at Florida and was never really given a fair shake by their fans and boosters.

He had a good record at Florida his first two years and then was abruptly fired during a disappointing third season. I think it had more to do with like and dislike than ability for him.

All I know is what he has done at CMU this year is remarkable. It wasn’t luck or timing. It was coaching.

I thought he did a great job at CSU, Florida just seemed like a really bad fit.

Agreed....he doesn't seem likable too me and reminded me of Fraud Graham.
