Gators Football Still Haunts Scott Stricklin's Record
Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin faces a crucial task in finding a new football head coach after Billy Napier's firing.
Stricklin has been the athletic director at the University of Florida since November 2016, overseeing 13 national championships across all UF athletics.
- One national championship in baseball in 2017
- One national championship in men’s basketball in April
However, Florida football continues to disappoint under Stricklin, with a record of 61-46 in his tenure.
While the record sits above .500, it is a low standard for Florida’s historic success.
In comparison, former athletic director Jeremy Foley held a record of 239-82-1 in Florida football during his time from 1992-2016.
The next head coach hire could have major implications for Stricklin’s future at the institution.
