The longer we don't hear from Stricklin...

[dawgstudent]

the worse I think it is. I think if he hasn't announced he's staying by now then he and Florida are just waiting until next week to make it official.

 

[57stratdawg]

Agreed. I've got it 80-20% UF right now.

Maybe he wanted to get through this UMass trip before announcing anything. He was probably obligated to go it might have been awkward if he was officially leaving as soon as he got back.

Do AD's have off seasons? A few summer months?

My real question is: Is it normal for AD's to be hired away during football season?

Didn't Byrne leave during football season? I seem to remember that he did.

Could be he's still negotiating with MSU.

This is what I think is happening. Nothing has leaked regarding him leaving. Only thing out there is that he was offered the job a second time and there are even conflicting reports on that. If it was a done deal it would be out there in the media whether Scott wanted it to be or not.

Insightful.

Couple of thoughts from lunch:
1. No new names have come out in Florida media.
2. No denial of any sort from Stricklin.
3. Off week for us is perfect time for announcement.

Nice farewell trip to see the New England fall

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Likely gone, but

If he is smart, he'd say, I'll tell u buy such and such date. Like next Tues.

Then nobody really knows, except him. No leaks.

Can't get the Gators game on WCBI**

I thought he posted under the pseudonym imissplatinumplus.

I agree, the longer it takes the more likely for him to leave. However, it's not surprising to see that it is taking this long. From a family standpoint - his wife is a Starkville School Board member and his kids are enrolled there. A lot of Mississippi ties for his and his wife's family. It would be tough for any of us in that spot.

 

[Dawgzilla]

I kind of see it the other way. Maybe the delay is he is giving MSU time to make a decent counter offer. Really hard to read the tea leaves on this one.

I also think its convenient that MSU has an off week on Oct. 1, which is when Foley intended to step down. So maybe they are just waiting to make it official.

Then there's this complete lack of information:

Worthless tweet

Cannot completely verify this but just head Miss. State AD Scott Stricklin has asked Florida officials to give him the weekend to consider.

That guy don't know ****. He's terrible. Just trolling for clicks

 

[Dawg_4_lifes]

The length of his potgame hugs Saturday will tell the story.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

He "just head"? You sure that ain't Shep Smith?!

 

[dickiedawg]

My question: Wasn't there a Mississippi law that said no university can make more than the President of said university?
I seem to remember that was brought up the first time we needed to give a football coach a raise after the money exploded. Obviously there is a workaround now, but is it possible the Bulldog Club isn't set up for its funds to be used for administrators, or something off the wall like that?
(Now this doesn't fit if Stricklin's is, as folks have reported lately, $500,000 as that's already more than Keenum makes. Just spit balling here.)

Feeling in Boston is He Gone.

Good for him. Get Paid, hopefully with him gone we can make Bell Island Great Again.

Monday.
