You knew Floyd is going to UF??? lol

 

[D'sgonnaBmean]

Coach UM is sellin hard that he is comin baack next year from wat I hear, of course lane an Jimbo are selling stuff too....these kidz r torn somtimes and jus wanna do wats best for their future. I bet some of 'em will make the call right there on the spot.....

 

[nbmfk]

CUM is FOS....even if he is back in a few months as the head coach it will be a cluster......plus he doesn't have the staff he once did

 

[coffeevol]

yeah I just do not get it, if Urby is telling recruits he is coming back and he has not really even left yet the how long could his leave really be? Leave in Feb after NSD, comes back in Aug to coach as promised, that is only 7 months, you know the more I think about it, the more this Urban thing sounds like an addiction problem of some sort. I mean what health problem can be helped by 7 months off like that? And then how much does it hurt the gators not to have their coach during that period? Something just doesn't add up and if I was elam I would really think about all of that.

in case you all haven't caught on, which apparently most of you haven't, meyer has a different staff almost every year. He's got a coaching tree full of good coaches. You all talk on here like lane kiffin could sway a recruit from urban meyer or nick saban, or that lane even belongs in the same conversation with those two. I'm sure none of you care because you're all in your own little world, but the rest of the country is getting a pretty good laugh out of all the threads implying that kiffin might even be a possibility for a position with USC. There are literally probably 100 out of the 119 fbs coaches with more experience head coaching than lane, and with better records.

Florida is reloading with a quickness

1. Do the names Nu'Keese or Teague ring a bell?
2. I'm sure the rest of the country is tuning in daily just to check out the latest threads on VolNation.
3. By reloading, you mean trying to hang on to Elam, who is a friend of Meyer's family?

 

[ih8danoles]

we really needed those two guys, one of which REALLY worked out. There's always one or two guys that would rather go start right away for a terrible team rather than having to sit the bench for 2 years as a 5 star.

You all look at other teams message boards too, especially for recruiting.

By reloading I mean picking up the number 1 class in the country.

I'm sorry. Does Florida have a Tebow clone in this class? How about Harvin clone? No?

Im not concerned.

Hindsight is always 20/20. Please tell us that, at that time, you were perfectly fine with those two leaving. The point is, you made it seem impossible that Kiffin could steal a recruit from Urbie, and that's EXACTLY what he did. TWICE, his first year.

Urban Meyer: Marsalis Teague, Nu'keese Richardson
Nick Saban: Jawuan James, Blake Sims in like a day

So he's stolen 2 from each in about a year and a month...bet you feel smart right now

 

[Nashvegas31]

the post about florida's coaching staff constantly changing makes zero sense...his staff has kept its core and now it has lost all of it except for Addazio...the core has been replaced in a rush with guys that are not at the level of what you lost..gatorland should be in a freakout mode because your boy Urban is gone after NSD

 

[swampy]

Nope no Tebow clone though Burton could develop into that over time with Loeffler coaching him up. Doesn't really matter though because we've got RJR Brantley for the next two years and we won a national title with Tebow playing glorified fullback.

As far as a Harvin clone we got that last year in Andre Debose. 13-1 without a Harvin-esque player on the field ain't too shabby.

You all talk on here like lane kiffin could sway a recruit from urban meyer or nick saban... which of course, he has, so my point is moot. What a complete and utter fool I appear to be. Oh well, we are Florida! or that lane even belongs in the same conversation with those two. I'm sure none of you care because you're all in your own little world, but the rest of the country is getting a pretty good laugh out of all the threads implying that kiffin might even be a possibility for a position with USC. Because, as everyone knows, the entire country reads Volnation regularly. There are literally probably 100 out of 119 other gator trolls on this site that are less irritating and more welcome here than I am, but for some reason, I'm still here running my mouth.

Florida, despite being equally, if not more, loaded with talent, got embarrassed in the SECC game, is reloading with even more unbelievable talent, but will be missing Tebow next year, who, as we all know saved our asses times beyond number this season, and our coach seems to be at best confused about his life, at worst borderline bi-polar, and will be installing a new offense, with new coaches, and we're not even sure if our coach is going to be back next year, but we think he is, this week he says he is, but anyways we feel good about it, we're Florida, we're better than everyone... what are you all looking at - stop staring at me!

Fixed your post for you. You're welcome, and thanks for stopping by. Please don't come again.

The Gators came in with these coaches and won the 2006 national title with them.

These left prior to 2008 national championship season:
Co-DC and Defensive line coach Greg Mattison
Safeties coach Doc Holliday
RB coach Stan Drayton

These left prior to 2009 13-1 season:
OC and QB coach Dan Mullen
TE/FB coach John Hevesy




This year isn't really all that much more turnover compared to the previous two years. As to the comment of that they aren't to the level of the ones we lost is awfully premature. In 2005 most of the coaches we brought in had similar track records. Though you've got to keep in mind a lot is also defined by the head coach which is still Urban Meyer. I certainly remember a lot of Gator fans were puzzled by Charlie Strong being retained given how his defenses performed for Ron Zook.

Also, does that name calling rule extend to doucheb... I mean, other teams' fans who come on here, or only other Volnation family members?

Not sure why this is on here, but here is the truth...

Florida is about to return to 8 win seasons. They will stay there. FSU will be better and will win 2 of the next 4 times you play. You will lose recruits to them and to Miami.

You had a special run, and now it is over. I am sad that Meyer will not be there to play Kiffin with equal talent. He would get drilled.

Enjoy 6 guys at least leaving early for the draft also...

You are deeply in denial...

The offense was not great this year. You are losing TONS of talent to graduation and early declarations for the draft.

Meyer is going to be at 75% of his former self if he returns at all.

You lost Dan M and your offense sucked.

You lose Strong, and now your defense will take a step back.

We win in Knoxville and feel incredibly happy, and then the shine comes off when you lose 2-3 more games in the regular season.

 

[Glutton]

USC is the only team that truely has "Reloaded" over the last few years...

 

[swampy]

I like how you claim I'm in denial and then assert that the Gators are going to return to 8 win seasons. Urban Meyer is not returning to Ron Zook territory.

Florida wins a minimum of 10 games next year. We've only lost 8 starters so far and the 2007 recruiting class class (you know that pesky little one was #1 in the country) will be seniors. Heck the Gators won 9 games in 2007 (a year where even the national champion had 2 losses) after having to replace 14 starters from the year before and had to rely on a ton of freshmen.

These left now:
RB coach Kenny Carter
WR coach/RC Billy Gonzales
DC/LB coach Charlie Strong
CB coach Vance Bedford
HC Urban Meyer for now
DL coach Dan McCarney is a possibility at USF

This could be much worse than the other offseasons, especially since the replacements (namely Stan Drayton) could easily be worse than the departed coaches...

yep but even USC is vulnerable to very high turnover as was seen this year. they went through what the Gators did after 2006. Florida's recruiting from 2007 on looks like they will join the ranks of those who can "reload".

 

[swampy]

With a Heisman Trophy winner...

...who people questioned whether the true sophomore could even pass the ball before the season started and was forced to compensate for a defense that lost 12 of its top 14 players from the year before, had to rely heavily on freshmen and defensive middle got racked with season ending injuries that necessitated the conversion of Mike Pouncey to defensive tackle.

Redshirt junior QB, veteran defense that's lost only 4 starters and tight end is the only position on the team that will probably need to rely on freshmen.
