Roper to be next OC at uf

[MSME Vol]

NCAAF Gators to hire Kurt Roper as OC - ESPN

According to this and multiple other sources, one of our homeboys may be committing treason to an extent not sure how I feel about it. Anyone got a more educated opinion?

They are all mercenaries.

 

[MSME Vol]

Haha I knew that. I'm more curious as to how we think this will effect their ability to be competitive. Good hire? Bad hire?

 

[vol-un-tear]

Come and knock on our door....we've been waiting for you...

Roper was QB coach at UK during the Lorenzen-ish years. Not a bad QB coach. Haven't kept up since then.

This could turn out to be just what Florida needs, or taking Roper from Cut's staff could turn out to be as valuable as taking Pease from Petersen's staff.

 

[ukvols]

I never expected both UF and FSU to have former Vols helping to coach their offenses.

The most notable thing he did at Tennessee was forget to put Montario Hardesty in a game.

They have a joker and a roper... and many a midnight toker

Why board a sinking ship?

Muschamp's future at Florida is in the hands of the former offensive coordinator at Duke.

Alrighty then...

Should have poached Dooley from the Cowboys. He would have got everything turned around for you guys.

I hope they don't think this will be a quick fix. They have spent the past 3 years recruiting for a pro-style offense moving to the spread wont happen over night for them. But hey they can't get any worst than they played last year

Do you guys still have the same WR coach?

Look at it like this if Muschamp is fired yall will have your next HC on staff already.

Since when does Cutcliffe run a spread? Roper's spent 15 yrs with Cut, all he knows is pro style.

 

[Ronny Swanson]

God I hope that staff at Florida stays together for a long, long time.

 

[rjd970]

I don't know enough about him, but my gut says this is a bad hire for UF. I would think Cut really runs that offense anyway.

Of course it's UF. I'm sure he will look like a genius against us and the QB, whoever it is will be put on the heisman watch list after the game.

Not a typical sexy big name hire. I doubt many UF fans are happy with this.

 

[Vol8188]

I think this was a great hire. I really like Roper.

 

[JCSvol]

My 2 closest gator aquaintences are extremely dissapointed. They are brainstorming who will replace Muschamp after next year, lol.

 

[BenGrimm]

I remember a lot of belly aching about him when he was an assistant at TN..... But people complained about Cut and Chavis too so obviously our fans aren't the best judge of assistants.

That's what I was trying to figure out...Duke was a purely pro-style offense....Pretty sure Cut was more involved with the offense than is known.

What I've seen watching them the past two years has looked a lot more spread than pro style.
