so he’d put his name out there like this just simply to troll gator fans? And it’s the opposing fans you guys think are currently being ridiculous? Ok

Spurier left on his own because "it was not fun anymore", his words.



Spurrier left because he wanted to try to go the NFL and has stated numerous times that he made a mistake leaving.

Meyer left on his own, "due to health concerns", his own words


Meyer did have health concerns. The guy was consumed by his own stress. The more he won the more pressure he put on himself.

Spurrier had a special on him where he admitted this. Wanted to see if his system would work at the pro level ect.

Correct. The new facilities opened earlier this year. Mora also got salaries for assistant coaches raised by a good bit.

So which is it? He obviously said both, I guess you can choose the one you want to believe.

UF was not his first head job or last. Why did he not have these same problems before UF or after UF?

Dude was a bitch-arse quitter who couldn't hack it when things didn't go his way. He had no plan in Gainesville after #15.

This was Spurrier's statement from when he resigned:

"I'm not burned out, stressed out or mentally fatigued from coaching," Spurrier said in a statement. "I just feel my career as a college head coach, after 15 years, is complete, and if the opportunity and challenge of coaching an NFL team happens, it is something I would like to pursue."

get the feeling that he wants florida,


By far the best job available and honestly imo 1 of the few college jobs he would even consider.

but the boosters and fan expectations scare him.


I think he dealt with enough of Phil Knight etc that this isn't a big concern. At any big name program that has backyard recruits will have boosters and expectations to deal with.

I think his own expectations are higher.

There's no reason a head coach with big aspirations would choose UCLA over UF.


Yeah, I don't get it at all.

Ever heard of Matt Davison? Caught the "kickarooski" back in '97 vs. Mizzou? He still works as a commentator during Husker broadcasts and has hinted that Frost is coming home... pretty much everything except flat-out saying he's coming.

My "sauce" is a guy who actually lives in New Orleans now. I see him every Saturday when the Nebraska contingent in the area meet up at Tracey's to watch the games. His dad is a doctor who repaired Scott's brother's harelip as a kid, and they now live next door to the Frosts. His nephew plays football for Parkview Christian, where Frost's father is head coach.


My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out a 31 Flavors last night.
I guess it's pretty serious....

Easier to win in the Pac12 than in the SEC.

Chip isn't an idiot.

Maybe you are scared to see Chip at UCLA!
