Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Hot Take: Outside of two unbelievably good coaching talents (Spurrier and Meyer) Florida is mediocre and I present Ron Zook, Will Muschamp and Dan Mullen as evidence.

I think it's the other way around. Mushcamp took them to 11-2 and Mullen 3 NY6 bowl appearances. McElwain won the east twice. All 3 mediocre coaches found a lot of success at UF. It's not a hard job.

I don’t think this is far off. They had two of the greatest to ever do it for all but 3 years between 1990-2010. They are unbelievably spoiled for a historically mediocre program. Drives me crazy that we’ve never found a coach who could take advantage of that.

 

[Adam2014]

so what does that make us?

We are even more mediocre, unfortunately.

Any program is only as good as it’s coach, and that is evident with the rise and fall of any team over time

Potentially good nugs: Evans, Cade, and Simmons were all out there doing the regular cardio workouts….. he didn’t see them being limited at all.

If we beat them the times we should have between 2014 and now; they would appear even more obviously mediocre. We're largely responsible for them remaining relevant. That SUCKS!!

Not very good.

That’s HUGE news if it holds up through the week!

But each of those coaches has gotten worse the further you get away from Spurrier or Meyer....Muschamp recruited well, but couldn't coach worth a damn and is the reason for Mullen's success.

Man, I am a fan of a lot of sports teams where men break their appendages and keep playing.

Boom!

Yet Florida always has our number. I don’t get it

That's okay. For every "Florida always has our number", we have a "we always have Kentucky's number", so they offset, IMO, the last few years.

Quick Poll: How many points do we score versus UGA? I don't know which way to lean, few, or many...

[KB5252]

Boom!

We need them healthy down the stretch, it would be great to get a 7 win season. With the attrition we've been dealt that would be amazing

Keep in mind though that FSU and Miami have been big booty butthole during most of that time.

If either of those starts to rebound - UF is a harder job.

I say more than their yearly average.

 

[mrmax86]

It would be impossible not to, IMO

Over/Under 14?

 

[Pridedad]

It would be impossible not to, IMO

just went and looked, they have allowed 60 points all year. If we get half that we have a good chance to win. 21 of their 34 points came as a result of turnovers. Not all by the defense but they set up a nice short field. But I say let's get past this boat race at Kroger then take care of business in Neyland.

Derrick Henry potentially out for season

Yep
That make it easier for Florida right now
Clemson and UNC being good haven’t helped us

Is TCU even that much better job of a job than SMU? I'd personally rather stay at SMU, or hope for the Tech job.

TCU’s better than either of those. Big 12 is down but still P5 compared to that pickup league SMU toils in and TTU is in BFE. That and residual bad vibes from how Spike Dykes tenure ended reduces their chances imo.
