Didn't his contract have a brief window each year in which he could leave UF, and that was when he left? IIRC, the timing of the window itself was chosen by UF to minimize the distraction on the team during a bowl game while leaving enough time for the successor to step in before signing day. It's a little harsh to criticize a coach for living up to his contract. -Zeb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
