    I'm seeing high school kids transferring schools all the time.

    Plus what would be better for his son? IMG or Oxford HS? No offense to Oxford because that's a pretty good team usually.

    If he doesn't replace Uiagalelei then a complete melt is what he may have on his hands.

    DJ U isn't the reason their OL and DL are getting pushed around.

    He win 19 in a row until UGA smashed them. So, he has some good will.

    I don't know when Miami supposedly offered Kiffin, but Miami is a small private school. Right now, Miami has a strong NIL, but a large alumni base that cares about football is a huge advantage in the NIL world. Miami is going to be highly dependent on a small number of passionate and rich alumni unless and until it kindles interest outside its alumni base like it did when it was the U.

    They should just pay The Rock to do some marketing for them and show up at halftime. He could do WWE stunts on the 50 with the nerdy drum major while the dance team acts as ring girls for 20 mins.

    You're 100% right, but no one ever blames the offensive line. They're going to place the blame at the feet of the QB who can't throw a 15 yd pass that makes 6 figures.

    More than one thing can be true.

    Again, I agree with you. They knew the limitations when they got Uiagalelei. However, for the 3rd time in 3 years, a fanbase fell for the facade that this kid is something more than a big body with a big arm. I think the line is more to blame because they need to be able to run the ball with his limitations. However, this is the downside of NIL. You're paying a kid 6 figures to be your QB. He needs to....you know.....be a QB.

Probably a much bigger deal for the travel he has to do for recruiting I guess.

    Not saying he won't go, just saying that I don't think living in Gainesville or Tallahassee is going to move the needle. The ability to win a championship, more NIL, and better recruiting grounds will move the needle. I think Miami would be the place that would really be attractive to him as far as location, but even though they have good NIL support, that's still a small private school in the ACC. Not sure you skip on the potential to have UF's resources in hopes that you can get Miami back to where it was.
    Kiffin has free use of the university jet to take him to Boca whenever he wants.

    When you?re the one making millions of dollars, you don?t have to convince the kids of sh!t.

    He's settled down now. He eats nutritiously and has given up booze and even discovered the Bible.

    Visiting and living there are two different things. I'm sure UF will chopper him to his house in Boca and land in his backyard. That's an awful shorter flight than Oxford to Boca.
