The optics are fine. Jimmy wore out his welcome within the AD and caused a PR nightmare with the alleged death threats to players. Family members wanted answers and he had none because he made it up. He's lucky to walk away with 4 of the 12M. Nobody is turning down UF bc JMac failed at the task he was hired to do: fix offense, beat rivals and recruit.
Dooley left a disaster at O line. Got one year out of the line kiffin recruited.
Talent is there at WR. They have been coached by a high school coach this year.
Running backs for next guy are WAY better.
Got 2 4* QB on roster and two still committed for next year.
Defensive line has 4* players both young and old guys returning.
Talent at LB as well. Ignont Bituli and Kirkland all coming back.
Better talent for the next guy. Much more depth and SEC bodies at offensive and defensive line.
Biggest area for improvement is the strength and conditioning. Our team looks like they do pilates instead of lifting weights.
