Had thoughts that you guys would make the trek again. gator (fans?) love "fair weather". Spurrier arrived to coach in the 90's, changed old school football, added some wrinkles. gator (fans?) all of sudden became football experts. Emptying stands, empty home game seats in the swamp, description of a gator (fan?).
Mark Richt had the perfect opportunity when he took the Miami job to basically takeover football in Florida. Without going into a lot of old "stuff", Richt is back to where he was when relieved as head coach in Athens. The shine on the hiring is gone, South Florida folks are aware. Talent from South Florida is leaving to play elsewhere . . . . sounds and looks like what happened in Athens under the previous coaching staff. Lots and lots of talent in South Florida. Coach Coley is aware and on solid ground. Kirby knows that.
