Now I'm one of Dooley's biggest supporters but some of the stuff on the sidelines run me crazy. You may hate Kiffin and he would have had us on probation but his team was better coached and tougher to me. Yeah Berry and others had something to do with it but certain things fall on the coach. You can tell we were soft by the lack of ability to run the ball. There's absolutely no reason for that with the talent we had on the O-line. Our offense had absolutely no flow to it at times.
Agreed. Ron Zook could recruit like a beast.
Ron Zook is a disorganised idiot. If you have listened to Dooley speak for 2 minutes you can tell the difference. Zook is a idiot, the only stupid thing Derek has done is take this job about 3 years too early. The man is smart, smart people figure it out.
Go look at what Zook has done recruiting wise at Illini, his best class was ranked around 30 and had 1-2 classes not even in the top 50. It's just proof that any idiot can recruit well at UF. I used to think Zook was an ace recuiter as well, but after a little research one can see he is nothing more than avg. to below-average and his reputation precedes him.
Not saying anyones right or wrong but what Kiffin did coaching wise was make things imple as to not make mistakes. It kept games close when we didn't make mistakes. Lack of overall talent tends to push you to do that. As DD has gathered talent they have started to do more things. With 11 AND 21 on the outside and Bray throwing to them I'm pretty sure the running game was not as much a focus as it sould have been. You will never become a running team during the season, that starts with summer/ spring workouts and practices.
He attacked Bama, Crompton threw for 260 yards. The refs killed us in T-town.
Now to the run game, we should always work on that. I don't care what is lined up outside we play in the SEC. QBs get killed down here for dropping back all game.
Edit: nm, I re-read what you wrote. My bad, you meant that smart people (Dooley) will figure it out. I hope he does, I really do.
I wouldn't have even responded but it seems like you are calling me out fir not being smart because of my comment. I don't care how smart the man is. Bill gates is a genius, and I wouldn't want him coaching a team I follow. I want Dooley around for atleast next year, but don't act like him being a smart man means he will for sure have success here. Smart people would figure that out.
