GAINESVILLE -- It's official. Florida is out of the running in the Orson Charles sweepstakes. Charles eliminated Florida from his short list on Wednesday. Only UGA, Tennessee and Southern Cal remain.
"I appreciate Florida's interest. I think very highly of Coach Meyer and the Gators," Charles said in a statement. "This was a tough decision for my family. Please understand me and my family's call. Thank you and God bless."
For some reason, I don't think this is the last Florida fans have heard of Mr. Charles. If he stays in the SEC, he'll be lining up against the Gators next season. Good luck.

Exactly what "style" and personality is it that Kiffin has Coach Mullen? Would that be the liar style or the dumb ass style? Kiffin has both of those well covered. (And I always thought that Al Davis was the bum in the Oakland relationship - now we all know better).
