What Gator journalist...and I fixed your post.

I don't think it's too hard to drum up a rumor that Charlie Strong is leaving Florida since he has been very vocal for a looooooong time about wanting a head coaching job and has interviewed for several.

He has also gone public with his feeling that racism is involved either because he is black or because he is a black man married to a white woman. (He might want to consider this type of public statement as at least one missing piece to the puzzle of why no one has hired him. Gosh, who wouldn't want to hire a guy that says the last three guys wouldn't hire him because they were racists? You mean it? I can have that guy on staff?)

Yeah. Apparently Croom had class. I never saw anymore class in him than anyone else (I think people compared him to Jackie Sherrill and thought he was the classiest person ever), but "class" is what kept him his job for so long.

I'll take Richt.

Gene Frenette of Jacksonville, FL.

The inability of Strong to secure a head coaching position is certainly a mystery unless it can be attributed to comments he made earlier about his race and marital situation being the reason certain schools have passed him by. As a potential employer, I would certainly be concerned over those types of allegations and the effects it would have on my program.
If any of the rumors are true---look for Rev. Al and Jesssssssssay to get involved. Perhaps Oprah and her boytoy Barrack can pull some strings since they were so instrumental in getting the Olympics to Chicago!!!---oops!!! how did that work out????

I've thought all season that Richt's job had to be in jeopardy. How long do you give a guy to get your team to its ultimate goal? I think he's a great guy and so is Houston Nutt. Are either of them capable of leading their teams to a National Championship? Doubtful!

Charlie Strong doesn't have a head coaching job yet because he was also here during the Zook years.

2002, 2003, 2004 = nothing special

2005 = alright

2006 = great

2007 = awful

2008 = great

This is really only his third season in 8 tries at Florida that he's had a great defense.



Richt would never take a job at Florida State. He knows we'd kick his ass every year there too.

If a coach/team can win an SEC Title, then they are capable of winning a National Title.

at least Price got some boobies out of his end of the deal.

If Georgia goes after anyone it will be Kirby Smart, but I don't believe that Richt will be fired this year. His seat will be one of the warmest heading into next season though.

IMO, the whole thing about Strong being married to a white woman is not tied to the racism of white ADs not wanting a black man who is married to a white woman, but rather it could easily be tied to the situation that Strong himself would find himself in if he were the HEAD coach going into a recruits home to talk to his parents.

I know this sounds bad, but think about it...a large majority of the recruits he'd be visiting with are black. A good number of them have single-mothers. Many single black mothers are very resentful when they see a black man married to a white woman.

I've actually heard this as being a primary criticism of Strong's candidacy for a head coach position. Whether its an excuse, or a legitimate reason, is beyond me...but it does sound somewhat logical.

The rumor about Richt is that he is Helen Hunt's twin, separated at birth...

Yeah, but that one's not a rumor, some folks are still just in denial.

BUTT CUTTS!!!
