(UAA Photo) For a guy who has always coached wide receivers, Billy Gonzales did a rather nifty impersonation of a veteran head coach Monday afternoon. Florida’s interim football coach was poised, prepared and thorough as he took questions that ranged from preparations for 5 th -ranked Georgia to the origins of his coaching career. If you didn’t know better, you would think he had been a head coach for years.   Billy G was simply Billy G, which is what former bosses like Urban

LSU fired Brian Kelly Sunday evening causing a ripple effect throughout college football. By electing to eat Kelly’s whopping $53.333 million buyout, LSU effectively raised the stakes for every successful coach in the country. It is going to cost more to hire new coaches and schools that want to retain their coaches will be forced to renegotiate contracts.   The willingness of schools like LSU, Penn State ($46.8 million buyout of James Franklin) and Florida ($21 million buyou

Upon further review, Florida is making a bona fide offer to Lane Kiffin, with sources putting an actual number down.

The old saying goes that “you miss a day, and you miss a lot” is certainly true for someone who kept his phone and computer at home while camping in the wild.   Upon re-entering the so-called “grid” and its purported “civil

Kevin O’Sullivan, who has taken the Florida baseball team to the College World Series nine times, winning the NCAA championship in 2017, has taken a leave of absence, effective immediately. In a statement released Wednesday, O’Sullivan said, “I appreciate the support of the University and athletic department. I have some personal and family issues that need my full attention at this time.”   In response, Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin released this statement: “Coac

(Photo by Chris Spears) The first order of business for interim head coach Billy Gonzales was to delegate authority for the Florida offense. Billy Napier served as his own play caller and offensive coordinator but with Napier gone, Gonzales has had to shuffle responsibilities starting with who will be calling the plays and who will be chiefly responsible for the game plan.   Ryan O’Hara, who has been the quarterbacks coach, will be in the booth calling the plays when the Gato
