Yes, Brian WHite...he was a holdover from Urbs staff I think? I thought the Jacksonville head coach was going to land that spot? No?

Kerwin Bell was the people's choice...former UF QB from the mid-80s with a good track record of success with pro-style offenses.

Brian White's claim to fame was coaching up Aaron Hernandez for a year as TE coach.

Hopefully our coaching staff can find a way to simulate high temperatures and extreme humidity in preparation for our trip to Texas.

Those conditions are rare in Florida....in late August/early September.

After that great run uf has only a 1 or 2 game edge all time.

UTs program ran up a big lead and can do it again. The upstart gators are getting their comeuppance, and the vols will get their share of chicken meat,

UT ran up a 10-game lead in the Florida series back before electricity and integration. Tennessee's overall population was much larger than Florida back then too. You're kidding yourself if you think the same dynamic holds true in 2011 and beyond.

UT hasn't had its way with UF since the 1960s.

UT and UF split their 4 games in the 70s, UF won both meetings in the 80s, we owned that ass in the 90s during UT's greatest run in the modern era, and other than the Zook error we've kept it going recently in spite of fielding some of our worst teams in over 3 decades.

Actually, with the two JUCO's the just signed, it will be quite difficult for anyone to run on FL next year. Obviously, we won't be too worried about that, so we should be good to go. Still, I think FL could possibly hire a good OC and win 8 games next year. If it goes bad and they don't get to a bowl we better jump on that opportunity and try to flip the switch in the series for awhile. FL will always have great talent, it's all about the coaching. Personally, I believe Meyer was quite lucky with Tebow and would not have been as good in the SEC without him. There's a reason he left and wound up in the big 10. He's not the greatest coach, but he isn't dumb. Winning in the SEC is tough, even with the talent the Gators have had. Without Tebow I don't think they win either championship. He was that good in that system. We'll find out soon on all of this. I hope FL is down for a couple of years, but it's not likely, although Muschamp just might be the guy for the job!

if tebow goes to FSU, you don't have a 7 game streak. well, he did, and you do. but he's gone and so are your 1st and 2nd best HCs. [amazingly, they're both still coaching and weren't fired by uf.]

the gators aren't that mighty any more and UT is as good as any (UGA & FSU) to take a piece. sorry, but it's coming. and UT has taken a ton of gator tail over the years. we own it.

it'll be nice to start UT's streak vs. UF with a win in 2012

but as long as UF goes 5-7/6-6, UT finishes ahead of them and the ball starts to roll in our favor

UT has played bad and had some (very) bad luck. Well, that's over boys.

I didn't realize Tim Tebow was our QB for seven straight years...it probably seemed that way to you guys.

Hate to break it to you, but your head coach doesn't exactly strike fear into anyone. So while it's somewhat reassuring for you to point out what UF no longer has at HC, it doesn't change the fact that what UT currently has ain't all that either.

i know. it's just like when y'all had peyton manning and he stayed at tennessee for 4 years. it was bad enough to have to lose to tennessee 3 years in a row, but when peyton came back for his senior year, it just wasn't fair.

Dk who.

They will stick with a pro style system.

Not worries about the coordinator. Worried about what he has to work with

One is a known issue, the other is not til you hire someone. That could make it better or worst.

LW doesn't seem too happy with the apparent choice.

Its been a while since the Gators have sucked But i agree UF its coming your run is about to end. UT is about to own your ass like we do vandy and UK. I hope we kill you guys next year a 45-7 victory would bring Rocky Top back on their feet and just another step to becoming dominate like the 90's. We will be singing Good ole Rocky Top All night long!!!!!
Go Vols!!!!

Seriously, last time I checked we are "down" for one year with 4 games we easily could have one that were lost due to injury or last minute turnovers. How does that render a 5-7 guess on the record when we will only lose 1 starter on defense and the young guys will be a year older. I agree it will be a struggle on offense getting new starters in and possibly a new system but our D will win us or keep us in several games. no less than 7-5 for sure. Before you guarantee a program on the rise next year just because of Bray, Hunter and Rogers, consider that you are 11-14 in the last 2 years even with that talent for the most part of 2 years. That isn't your issue. RB, OL and Defense are your issues. We have our offensive issues 2 but next year Gillislee will be a solid back, Debose is finally coming on as a possible #1 receiver and both qbs were true freshmen thrown into the fire early.
