Scott Stricklin, he’s a Gator now.
A search begins immediately for his successor at Mississippi State. And we will get to that in the days to come.
The University of Florida, floridagators.com specifically, asked me to write my observations of Stricklin, whom I have known since he was a freshman student worker in the Mississippi State sports information department. You can read that piece here.
Stricklin did a splendid job at Mississippi State, his alma mater. He leaves the place far better than he found it for all the reasons listed in the column linked above.
