At this point, I agree. Roper didn't impress me at UF. It's hard for me to trust a coach that's worked at SoCal given our past experience with them. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else, but I thought Mazzone was looking for a good size raise. And DeBord is not a QB coach, which is honestly the biggest problem I have with him.
Canada has run a similar offense, and he's worked with Coach Z in the past. If their relationship was good, it might influence Z to be more inclined to stay. If Coach Z leaves, well he leaves, but he's a good recruiter so I'd rather he stay. Back to Canada, he's actually developed QBs. He could be a big help to Dobbs, and he'd have three frosh QBs to work with. I like the fit.
