On Florida’s pursuit of Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin

Three things have become increasingly clear over the course of Florida’s several-month search for retiring athletic director Jeremy Foley’s successor:

  1. Florida has not had as smooth a time finding that successor as it seemingly expected to have as the process began
  2. Foley staying on would probably have been the best move for the Gators.
  3. Foley’s shadow is enormous.

The first part of this would seem like the most obvious one, given that a process that should probably have made at most one or two headlines has made several, especially lately.
