Ha, as a fan base we should know, can't always trust the AD, there is still hope.

Michael White to Florida

Who saw that coming? I'm not saying one way or the other about the hire but I didn't see this.

Slightly surprising that there was no interest from some bigger names

I think many figured he'd end up SEC but most figured it'd be one of the MS schools.

This is a fairly typical Foley hire. If you look at most of his hires at FL, they are generally young and/or not alot of experience. Some times it has worked out really well, sometimes not so much.

Foley certainly went against the grain of what most of the SEC schools were doing - though he still gave him a $2M contract. This will end up either being a great hire or a bad hire.
FL's program is not in great shape right now so he is going to have to rebuild it some.

He was #4 on my list.

He was top 3 on my list, so I didn't like to see that. I hope he keeps Florida relevant, but not too relevant : )

Next big job to open up you have to think is Miller or Prohms to lose. Hopefully one stays put for a couple years.

What big jobs are on the horizon though? Indiana maybe? I guess I could see Miller to IN.

 

[dtm1997]

Unless we raise the money or ride out the storm, Miller or Mack will be difficult to land. They'll likely be comped similarly to Shaka, which is around $3MM/year. Difficult to do in any situation for us, impossible while on the hook for BG & Hewitt.

Other new candidates will arise in the meantime. We're playing one this year.

 

[RamblinRed]

I'm hoping Prohm's strong GA ties make him a logical candidate.

White has already announced he is bringing 2 of his assts from LA Tech and will bring the third if he is not given the La Tech job. I bring this up because Billy Schmidt left GT last season for FL - which certainly sounds like a better move - but now the assts at GT are still here and he has to look for a job. I do think Herrion is a significant upgrade as a recruiter from Schmidt - not as sure about game day.

A number of interesting tweets about FL and Mike White from Jeff Goodman

Jeremy Foley would likely have to pay in $3 million range for Archie Miller or Chris Mack. Could get Mike White for less than $2 million.

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN · 18h 18 hours ago

Jeremy Foley never reached out to Archie Miller or Chris Mack. Mike White was his guy all along.

That would piss me off so much. Just say no to ISU. Who wants to go to Ames.

 

[dtm1997]

I'm now on board with facing reality that BG will be here for at least 2 more years. WILL WADE IN 2017!
