"Oh yeah, Foley has done so little for UF" |

Message Replied To ========== Some where down below there is a thread by Donna supporting her boss, Jeremy F . I congratulate her for standing behind her boss and all those board members who supported Donna and rallied behind Jeremy.
However, I have been a gator fan for since the mid 50's. For years we had up and down seasons, only a few that were really good until 1960 when Ray Graves had a pretty good decade and then the 1980'swith PellHall years when we had a few straight years of success.
Until 1990 we had never had a long time winning record nor had we won a SEC championship (except 1984 which was taken away).
Beginning in 1990 and lasting until 2001 we won over 80% of our games and won 6 SEC championships and finished first in 1990 plus one MNC.
Since 2002 our winning percentage has dropped to the 60+% level. We have 2 Sec championships and 2 MNC's. We have not strung together 10 ? straight years of 9 victories. We have regressed to the pre 1990's up and down seasons.
This has all been on JF"s watch. So Support him if you wish I do not.
Not to mention Women's basketball and Men's baseball coaching choice mistakes.
Billy has been his shinning star, but he has made so many mistakes in other sports. ============================== The Florida athletic program has ranked among the nation’s top 10 for 31-straight years (1983-84 – 2013-14) and among the top five for 15 of the last 22 years, according to national all-sport rankings. Florida was among the nation’s top four schools in each of the last six years, including taking runner-up in the last three. Florida has also won the men’s Capital One Cup in 2011 and 2012, while the women’s program claimed its first Capital One Cup in 2014. UF became the first program in collegiate history to own both the men’s basketball and football national titles in the same calendar year, after capturing crowns in 2006. The men’s basketball team then became the first repeat champions in their sport in 15 years after cutting the nets down again in 2007. Foley is the only athletic director in Division I history to supervise a program that has won multiple national titles in football (1996, 2006, 2008) and men’s basketball (2006, 2007). Overall, 24 Gator teams have been crowned national champions under his watch, the second highest total in the nation among sitting Athletic Directors. Florida has won 15 national championships since 2006, tied for the second best total nationally and 11 since 2009, the second best total in the nation. Florida is one of only two schools in the nation who have captured multiple national championships in each of the last five years and is also one of only two schools to have six different sports win national championships in the last five years. UF has captured 119 SEC Championships under Foley and the lacrosse team has captured four straight American Lacrosse Conference Championships. Florida has swept the Halifax Media Group Southeastern Conference All-Sports Title 14 times under Foley, a feat no other school in the SEC has ever accomplished. UF’s commitment in the classroom is equally impressive. Under Foley, UF student-athletes have been honored 100 times as Academic All-Americans, the highest total among sitting Athletic Directors and fifth best in the nation since 1992. The University of Florida has more than 1,800 SEC Academic Honor Roll honorees in the last decade. The Gator athletic coaching family, which Foley had a large part in assembling, has collected 100 conference Coach of-the-Year awards during the last 24 years. The Gators had an amazing 10 coaches earn the league coach of the year honors during the 2012-13 year. Equally impressive is that 10 UF student athletes won their respective conference player of the year in 2012-13. |
