You might want to read this article about Raymond's performance at FL.That reject was the best DB coach in the game. And a huge recruiter. Now he’s 54 with a ton of ties to LA high schools and still probably one of the top 10 DB coaches in the game. Does that sound like it might be an upgrade over what we currently have?

Billy Napier parts ways with defensive assistants Corey Raymond, Sean Spencer after Gators’ 5-7 season
Florida’s pass defense ranked 11th in the SEC in 2022 and ninth in 2023. The Gators managed just three interceptions this past season, four fewer than any team in the league.www.orlandosentinel.com
From the article:If he and Martinez got fired today which one do you think would have a job first?? I’m not saying he’s still the best DB coach in the land. I’m saying that he’s significantly better than what we have and I bet he’s still a stone cold killer on the recruiting trail.
This is how you really tell. Need to ask our resident gators @lawgator1 @Lawrence Wright what's the story on this guyHad a quick glance at some UF boards and they are not at all disappointed he is gone.
He coached the secondary not the whole defense. UF also had one of the worst dlines in the conf which doesn't help coverage. Before UF he spent 10yrs at LSU and I think they put out some good ones during his time.From the article:
"The Gators allowed opponents to convert 49.71% on third down, ranking 129th nationally among 131 teams, and gave up more plays of 10 yards or longer than all but Arkansas among 14 SEC teams."
We've been complaining of "3rd and Banks/Martinez" all year and you'd suggest we "upgrade" to a guy who actually coached one of the worst 3rd down Ds in the COUNTRY, not the SEC, the country?
Hard pass on that stat alone. That's not just bad, that's awful.

Not stumping for him but if we're replacing then we could do worse
If he’s great why did they cut him loose?
It shouldn't be that hard to check Fl. the defense stats to see if things improved or dropped off Did they lose games during the year like Tenn did because of their porous secondary ?
