Arrogant dm about to get the fatlady sticking a fork in his hunch back...

Said it since he left, he wouldn't make it past 5 years at Florida.

I'll admit I was wrong, I gave him 3 years. Mostly based off the fact that he couldn't beat UGA and they fired McElwain in 3 years... AFTER he won the East title twice. Unrealistic expectations at UF. But... a weird, fortunateness thing happened for Danno, Franks got hurt and he was forced to start Trask. Trask saved Danno by beating UGA and making it to the Championship game.

But let's go back to Dan's tenure here...and I'll preface to say that I was a Mullen guy (and a Moorhead guy and a Leach guy - guess I'm a sunshine pumper), but the naysayers were right. Byrne and Strickland had the right formula for success - schedule 4 winnable non-conference games, play UK and Vandy, and win 6+ games, make a bowl and the State fans will be ecstatic! And maybe, probably/hopefully, if you catch TAM/AU/LSU on a down year, you'll have a really good season every once in a while and win 8 or 9 games! You'll be a hero to these success deprived fans. And it WORKED!

But it was smoke and mirrors, as the-not-ready-for-head coach Moorhead proved. Dan is what Dan is... an okay coach that could've been a hero in little ole StarkVegas, but believed his own hype. Now everyone knows...
