When the situation starts going downhill, it's hard sometimes to push it back up, ... I think the situation got out of control, even for him.
It's a unique situation. Obviously it causes a lot of awkward situations and it's not ideal. But I do think it helped with the search.
The years that we do have the flexibility, we want to schedule them.
This just reaffirms what we've been saying all along: This is a big-time basketball school with a big-time basketball coach. Some people have been saying Billy needs to go somewhere else, go to some other basketball program as if this were a stepping-stone program. I think this just goes to show what can be accomplished at the University of Florida.
That's still a possibility. Neutral site games are an issue with television right now. Who owns the TV rights? That's obviously a marquee ballgame. Both schools' television partners are going to want that.
That's still a possibility. Neutral-site games are an issue because of television.
We appreciate the support of the Jacksonville community to keep this traditional rivalry in Jacksonville through 2010. The week-long festivities in the community and the pageantry surrounding the game are unmatched in college football.
In my opinion, it should have been handled better. Before the game starts, if you have an idea that's going to happen and there's nothing you do about it, it makes you wonder how much planning went into it.
I just think to try to put Miami in a 13-week season, our schedule is tough enough as it is. If there are 14 weeks, that gives you another open date to play with there. That's why we did it. I think the series is good for the state, and so does Paul Dee. But it's just not a series that's going to work out on a regular basis.
In the final analysis, it was apparent to me that something's not working here, ... I know that's kind of nebulous, but it's the truth. It's hard to put a finger on it exactly, but it certainly just didn't appear to be working as we all envisioned.
He's embraced football from the day he's walked onto campus. He's not competing against it. You've heard him say that 1,000 times. He's not worried about a pecking order at the University of Florida.
Why not us? Why can't we be champions in basketball, too.
When the NCAA added the 12th game, we wanted to look for years where there was a 14-week window to the season to give us flexibility in picking a date for this series. The 2008 and 2013 calendar years allow us to do just that. In every other year, there are just 13 weeks to play 12 games, giving you less flexibility to schedule games and opponents.
The reason 2008 and 2013 worked is because those are 14-week seasons. Trying to put Miami in a 13-week season, our schedule is tough enough as it is. With 14 weeks, it does give you another open date to play with.
