Bruh looks like a product of whoever was at LsU or bags. When he didn’t land Cormani I knew right there that’s a waste. Same like when we didn’t land Surtain or Tyson. Basically for me I would let a coach go if his job is to acquire elite talent and they don’t do it. You can’t have that type of history he has and not land elites. You just can’t

In relation to Raymond maybe like i said some coaches boasting about who they sent to the NFL should be inspected. Its all good getting 3 players drafted when they were all top 5 in their position coming out of high school. What happens when u dont get those tools to work with?

And then to defend the position coaches, the DC has alot to do with the play of every level. And thats why me and @Dwinstitles be saying it, get the position coaches who can recruit with the HC and let the Coordinators be the geniuses. Most position coaches teach much of the same thing. Some better than others but the basis is the tools you have.

Facts

Ain’t nothing new under the sun fam. I could YT Dline techniques and find hundreds of videos about teaching it. Talent acquisition is the name of the game and the eye for talent.
 
"Anyone who thinks this team is going 5-7, with the MASSIVE Defensive Improvement the Roster's made since last year (very few Mullen kids remaining on D), then they just don't understand football very well. Realize please that Kirby just won 2 successive Natty's basically with Defense and a Walk-on QB who made few mistakes.

It's been so long since the Gators have seen good defense most have completely forgotten just how important that is for winning."

Had to stop and laugh at this one.

In fairness, I thought they would be solid on D but they'd struggle to score any points. They've been alright on offense but their defense fell off a cliff.
 
I think we have some of this in here from this immediately past June 2023 but for the record…

Billy has a big issue brewing behind the scenes which also involves his training staff. It involves a player and a parent who is in their ring of honor. Bad situation which has added to calls for him to be gone by some people who matter.

I expect him to be gone pending how the last couple weeks finish out for him. Knowing what I know I could care less about what he could offer…he’s a red line for me.

@Angry Ibis nah, it’s not bull****, it’s just another piece added on to less than expected performance. It’s pretty egregious. Egregious to the point where it’s exposed an internal pattern of behavior with him and his staff.

The dad has the resume to take it to the level he did and it brought the issues into focus. Let’s just say there should be a lot to pick from that roster after the season is over if he’s still there.

Yeah I gotcha. It will be interesting. Coercing medical staff to clear kids when they aren’t close to being fit to play, both off surgery and with pretty bad concussions to save your own sinking ship is not a good thing these days…

Yessir.

I've been honest. I hate the Gators. But at the same time, I'm not criticizing their recruiting JUST BECAUSE I hate them. I'm looking at how Slingblade Billy took them to Dave & Busters in the G-Wagon and convinced them to commit, without seeing any other schools, while selling them on a Year 2 turnaround that was very unlikely to happen. And a Year 3 that will likely result in even FEWER wins than Year 2.

On the other hand, Mario was pretty brutal about where UM stood. He knew the turnaround was a multi-year project and told the kids that. Clearly we can offer playing time. Clearly we can offer NIL. But Mario ALSO tells the kids to "commit to a school, not a coach". His honesty in recruiting and his "I want you to be sure" approach is not built for "best Sunday recruiting haul for June EVER", as the Gators obviously pushed for.

Slingblade Billy wanted recruiting momentum. Mario wanted recruiting permanence. Even if both coaches fall a bit short of their goals, I still prefer Mario's approach.

Exactly we will not land a top 3 class this year. But we’ve seen that summer pressure approach fail too many times.

I remember in the late Al Golden years and early Richt year that we lead the nation in decommiments because the offer really didn’t mean anything and kids would later visit, see how the teams played and then move on to other schools.

I love how OP acts all tough at the initial thought of going 5-7 back in June, but then says he didn’t think it would be an “embarrassing” 5-7.

The **** is the difference 😂😂 is there a good type of 5-7?

Exactly.

They only had one good win, Tennessee.

What are all their "bad losses", which would lead to an "embarrassing" 5-7?
