Kinda surprising that Dowling's resigning — when Jeremy Foley says he's surprised, it's a surprise — because she seemed to have Florida on the right track, but her Gators were neither winning nor really competing for SEC and national titles. Women's golf — the only Florida sport I was ever a "beat" writer for, though I was terrible on that beat — is one of the hardest sports for the Gators to be nationally competitive in, and the Gators' best chances at winning titles in it in recent memory came under Jill Briles-Hinton, not Dowling. Whether a national search will turn up the coach who can, too, is uncertain.
