USA Today writer said what all Florida fans want to hear and repeat about Lane Kiffin

The Gator Nation has swamped social media with their sheer lobbying to get Lane Kiffin to Gainesville. The efforts have been there for the past year, but the recent firing of Billy Napier sent them into an almost unimaginable frenzy.

But it is just the tip of the iceberg when looking at the real reason behind their desperation.

Florida football has been in shambles ever since the legendary Steve Spurrier stepped down as their head coach in 2001. Since then, they have been searching for their next Steve Spurrier.

And after almost two and a half decades, they finally see a modern-day aggressive offense and savvy trash-talking "Fun 'n' Gun" Spurrier in Lane Kiffin.
