Yup. I've already been talking about this with a few other folks on the board (in texts and DMs).

Think about this...Texas and aTm have always had oil money. It hasn't "come and gone and come back again".

So what changed? They started hot out of the gate (especially aTm) and then a number of other schools, including Miami, were able to compete pretty well. And for a little while, you were starting to hear less and less about aTm.

Then what happened? Texas passed a new NIL law LAST MONTH. And suddenly...they have NIL momentum again. Because the schools are allowed to get more involved. You can wear your jersey in NIL opportunities. And TO RECRUITS, who are only 17 or 18 years old (and their parents), the Texas and Missouri schools (and a few others) just SEEM to be farther ahead in developing opportunities, even if the ACTUAL MONEY is relatively comparable.

Lots of our posters can't see what is happening. How UiF and F$U (and Miami) have suddenly lost a lot of momentum and recruits are picking other schools, especially recruits from outside of Florida.

Life moves pretty fast. Besides just "matching money", we now need to be prepared to "match laws".

Does anyone know if the State of Florida is working to catch back up in terms of NIL laws? I have no idea where to look that up.

Sorry, should have been more clear. My buddy didn't specify that it was a former Miami coach but he also doesn't know the name. Whether he heard this over drinks at the Riv or directly from a coach, I'm not sure, so unfortunately this is one piece of information susceptible to the telephone game effect.

As others have pointed out, I doubt it's Butch or Orgeron as they would be here by now if that was the case. I think it's more likely a recently fired coach, sort of like when Manny brought in Bob Shoop. Again, all conjecture on my end on that, not an insider, just a fan!

Clappy destroyed UMs recruiting, and coaching staff. MFer was handed a Ferrari, and turned it into a Maverick...

I loathe that POS. He ruined one of the best sources of entertainment I have ever experienced in my life.

Imagine turning over a roster that stacked to Meyer? We'd have won at least three or four more NCs.

Let me be clear, he's a piece of ****. But that is fine with me if he gets us to the promised land.
