I keep reading that Lane was turned off of the Florida job because he didn’t like Stricklin and the way the admin is running things, and in general he thought the job had a lot of cons to it. Basically, all the things that we have been saying in this thread over the past month.

Here’s an example of what they are hearing, from Josh Pate:

@RVACane here’s the coach info you wanted.


Riley: GC didn’t like him, called him “a mess,” and so it didn’t extend past an initial discussion. Riley was apparently very interested, to the point where he was actively pursuing (I saw someone said he called UF twice!!), but UF wasn’t interested.

Fisch: was interested, but was turned off because they waited so long to contact him (after the Lane train ended), and their effort was half-assed anyway

Dillingham: no mutual interest

Lea: signed extension w/Vandy and UF wasn’t interested anyway

Drinkwitz, Franklin: neither were seriously considered

Hartline: some boosters liked him, but it doesn’t look like UF ever seriously considered him or even talked to him

Golesh: don’t see that they talked to him

Sumrall: talked to him in the beginning, seems they just quickly came back to him once they realized Lane embarrassed them. Kinda feel bad for the guy.


Also, Turnkey took the work they prepared for UF and sold it to another school (looks like it may have been LSU, but unconfirmed) after they fired UF as a client. They were embarrassed by UF’s actions, UF violated their contract, and Turnkey wanted to be able to still claim 100% success rate, which they couldn’t do if UF was still listed as a client. Pretty funny.


All I have left to say is that as a UF b-school alumna, I am incredibly embarrassed. The more I learn, the more flabbergasted I am. And I expect more to come out over the next few days because they are mad and are digging.

And Mario better use this all as leverage in recruiting.
