No he has not. Everything is centered around him. He built the stadium, the atmosphere, winning etc....all about him. Why would be be gracious to University and players now ?

When you left those jobs, did you tell those under you who look up to as almost a second father that you weren?t going anywhere?

Exactly. The way Dan walked out after talking all that shit about Florida, Foley, Collins' "Lateral Move", and blowing smoke up the players' asses, would be similar to the lead presenter in a huge corporate presentation telling his co workers he was leaving in the morning for "Competitor X". Basically leaving the team in disarray and dysfunction, while only thinking about himself.
I for one would have a hard time allowing that person to leave the room without at least one black eye.

He's been super quick to update all of his social media promoting the return to Gainesville, but it is wild that nothing has come out thanking the Starkville folks for the 9 years. Maybe after everything is official in Gainesville, I don't know, but Strange Brew's "Bye Felicia" is pretty fitting to how much I'm going to fret over this moving forward.
It truly has been disappointing how nonchalant he?s been about his last nine years here.

"Take the Money and Run" has to be played doesn't it?

How about ?Forget you?
I?m sorry I don?t feel the need to thank someone we made a millionaire.

Dan doesn't owe me a thing. BUT, for him to preach family, the whole chain thing, relentless effort, telling players and recruits he was going anywhere, sending them texts hours before, all the shit he's said this year....and he can't even face the players and address the team before he leaves? He may not owe me anything but he damn sure owes the players. Instead he chose to show he's a 17'n coward
-
He also did not take another job for more money. His contract at Florida is exactly what we offered him to stay. It is what it is. He is full of shit and lied to a group of 18 year olds a week before he left. His wife is full of shit as well as she lied about how much she hated Gatorville.

I nominate this be played:
It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

I sure hope not. He's a visitor now. I appreciate everything he did while he was here, but now he's gone now.
If Scott comes too, I hope we make his trip hell.
-
I like to idea of South Alabama highlights for Dan. And we should give Scott a turkey in a Snow Bowl tribute jersey.

I’m thinking turn off the hot water in the visitor locker room, leave them about 10 chairs to get dressed, and remove any lockers.

1) Beat his puckered play not to lose butt up and down the field.
2) Booing is fine
3) No f-bomb chants. Let's be better than that.
4) It's too soon for any friendly stuff though. Talking to administration as well.
5) Back to the field. Leave. No. Doubt. I want him to leave Starkville thinking that could've been him on the other sideline with new Gator skin boots. Make him leave Starkville wondering if he's made a terrible error in judgment about the direction these programs are going.
The Liberation will not be televised--- when it arrives like lightning in the skies!

I will say it again! We owe Dan nothing as far as Thank You! We paid him well and thanked him by keeping him and giving him a handsome raise every year, including an offer this year.
He owes us a Thank you!

Dead on accurate! He screwed these players who he claimed to love and his ?family?. He?s a snake.

A guy who repeatedly ran Holloway up the gut against Bama, LSU and Auburn defensive fronts will never acknowledge they ever made a mistake. While A Train held a clip board to boot.

**** that guy. Skull **** him and hevesys sieve of a ****ing line.

EXACTLY... Don't act like the last 9 years did not happen... A genuine and public (tweet/video/whatever) THANK YOU to the kids on the team current and past/fans/school/donors/etc would go a long way... show true character...
Either way let's skull17 the heck out of them next year and put him on the hot seat year one...
