The father changes his tune every five minutes. CeCe apparently tweeted last night that he's holding up the LOI because of the coaching change, he also said he is a Gator, and he might just fax it in on Friday. Some surmise CeCe is saying this to take the heat off his family, because his father looks a little bit crazy right now, and supposedly CeCe was aware Williams would be leaving.
The staff was TOTALLY working yesterday - several people saw coaches drive out of the South End Zone parking lot after 5, and this was after the team broke up from practice, or drills, or whatever they were doing en masse on the practice field today. I just wish it was over because I hate the crap the father is spewing; I'm certain it's false, but it just looks bad. And it's annoying.
