I would take the LSU job over the Florida job, personally.
South Carolina up on Florida

I'd probably be hollering choot im Lizabeth!.
This is spot on. Florida has been playing in the SEC for 90 years. Outside of that 20-30 year period between Spurrier and Meyer (who faked a medical condition to leave that place), Florida is a historically bad football program.
Who would ever think the S Carolina win looks better than the A&M win.
Smart move by Florida, you don't want to drop in the polls by beating South Carolina.

While they have not been on the same level outside of that period I think calling them a bad program is inaccurate and unfair.
From 1940 until the late 80s. They only had 4 9 win seasons.
They got messed up. Our win there looks better now. Florida is crashing. Didn’t expect that.
Ole Miss is far from garbage. They are wrecking Vandy today.He beat a garbage ole miss team who was hyped for LSU. They were without their best player too. That's his claim to fame.
I want his *** scorched. Wait until half of that fanbase who barely pays attention and thinks the're entitled to championships for some reason wakes up and notices they've got a Mark Stoops staff
Have to think Stein will have a little extra motivation to beat Sumrall just to further prove Stein was indeed the right hire.
So the team that we beat on their home field went down here and beat the hell out of Florida and we fell out of the rankings?
We thank you for your spot Florida.
We thank you for your spot Florida.
They only played 7 to 10 games in 21 of those seasons. In those 50 years they finished .500 or better 37 times. Not near on level with the period you cited by any means but like I said I wouldn't call it bad either.
Man. Brad white defense is getting shreded by any team that csn pass the ball …his zone defense was bad bs good passing team
If Kiffin was willing to go to Florida over an issue that, it would have been done. There were more issues that then. Saban told Kiffin LSU is the better job, the money was better at LSU, and Kiffin thought Florida was a step down. There were stipulations on certain business situations not saying that's incorrect, but there were other issues. Kiffin was never going to florida as soon as LSU opened up.
Florida is a hit or miss program without a long pedigree. They're the new power on the block who has a lot of trouble putting things together. Couple that with a fanbase that thinks it's Alabama, and it's a disaster job just ask Dan Mullen. Who fires a guy doing what Mullen was doing and hires guys like Napier and Sumrall with a UK coaching staff.
Florida does.
Im sure there was. Was just saying what was reported at the time he seemed to be deciding. He did send his family to Gainesville to check it out. But Sumrall is a good coach. Kiffin even said he was a rising star. He might have been a better fit at Auburn. Idk...but I think he figures it out

Sumrall would be a good match at Auburn.
I still think Sumrall will do well at UF. He now has the #5 recruiting class after flipping Easton Royal from TX this weekend. He will have to get rid of Brad White or he will not win at the level UF fans expect. Having said that, I am so glad we have Stein instead of Sumrall. Stein is one of the best. I am confident he will do things at UK that Sumrall wouldn't be able to do. Sumrall will do well at UF because of the recruiting advantage UF has. At UK, he wouldn't be able to elevate UK like Stine is doing.
LSU is weird. They have moderate historical success, but since the 2000s they’ve done just as well as anyone not named Alabama. Really, they have a pretty good claim at being second along with Ohio State.
But Louisana has a pretty good talent pool and LSU usually keeps that state locked down on the recruiting side. You honestly wouldn’t even say Louisiana has that much talent compared to other states, especially in the south, but they also don’t have to share their talent with other in-state schools. It’s fascinating.
Also helps that they’re corrupt as f*ck down there. From judges to politicians giving LSU the upper hand, and now with NIL they’ll gladly put their state up for collateral for the wellbeing of their program. We think we’re nuts as far as basketball is concerned but you don’t see Beshear, Paul or McConnel going up to bat for the UK program.
Its amazing watching pollsters create parity where there is none.
Football is basically a few top big ten teams, miami, and all the sec. You could drop Arkansas in the acc or big 12 and theyd be towards the top.
Also that insane in league talent is why I hated a 9 game schedule. By the time anyone gets to the playoffs, they're physically just done. Meanwhile iu, osu, nd, and miami get to constantly rest guys and be fresh for their run.
Well said. Many teams get mentally beat down too, I remember about 20 years ago when UL beat an Alabama team in a bowl game. Alabama didn’t even want to be there, and you could see it.
That's exactly how UL killed us the last few years. By the end of that sec grind, our guys were done and didn't care. UL on the other hand had their one chance to go against the sec talent.
Too much in-state talent for Florida not to be good.
I think Sumrall will be fine; I expect Florida to be elite next year. Their defense is awful and they do not have a QB who can take over. Florida will destroy teams who have undisciplined LBs, but Sumrall needs to get the Napier stench out.
Napier is a bad coach but he had solid players. I don’t see a pathway for Sumrall at all. I’m not sure where others are seeing this, the day he was hired I just said this doesn’t work. It doesn’t fit either, he’s just not a good fit there.
Sumrall is getting so cringe by begging for Florida fans to embrace him it’s hard to watch. Intentionally trying to look nuts so they see a difference in him and Napier. I watched him a lot it’s clear Sumrall is over compensating because he’s nervous. I don’t think he realizes what he’s walked into. And apparently the AD has already told him to tune down the crazy psycho stuff, reports are moving around about it. He knows any day the Florida fans are gonna turn. Some already are.
The reason it’s not working is because of what the Florida fan base wants. Again, he cannot be good there. Boosters are shelling out for TITLES. Not even 3rd place finishes and 1st and 2nd round exists in the playoff. And he’s not even close to being a playoff team. People keep thinking he’ll be fine like Florida fans and boosters will wait 3 years for big time football. It’s not happening, he was brought in to win today. Not next season. This is not Pre NIL football. The pressure is immense and he’s not THIS good to give them what they demand.
Sumrall is losing his ace in the hole offensive coach next season and Brad White is his D coordinator. He’s never had power football experience either. This is not a recipe for success in the short term, and that’s what it MUST be. If he’s not playing for a title or looking very good and getting very close, he’s fired in a couple of years. He’s not doing that.
