I was nodding my head in agreement as I read and then I thought about 8&4. Although our schedule is considerably easier.

We don’t play in the SEC west so that helps. Also, our head coach isn’t a coordinator so he can make changes without firing himself.

A&M is the ultimate proof that you still have to be a good coach no matter how well you recruit. Jimbo has averaged between 7 and 8 wins a year there. That’s slightly better than Manny Diaz at Miami.

The problem i have with some of my fellow Gator fans is that they’re so focused on yall recruiting class that they aren’t appreciating our OWN current class and where we sit ya know? Have we missed on top kids? Sure, but being in the top 10 in recruiting (we sit at 11th, but you get my point) after a 6-6 regular season where our recruiting class has filled holes at positions we need (sans DT and LB which can be fixed in the portal) is nothing to sneeze about.

I've said in here plenty of times and i'll say it again, they need to stop worrying about Miami and **** UGA and be more concerned with how ON THE FIELD Kentucky now has our number and we now be in dog fights with the Missouri's, Vandy's, USCe of the SEC. All that "logo holds weight" talk ain't hitting where it matters the most....on the field.

its not a bad class at all but id think youd expect a little more from a guy that was brought in largely because of his recruiting acumen and it being a bump class and all, no?

I can def agree with that. I'm not saying i'm SATISFIED with the class, cause i'm not, but i'm also not going to treat it like this class doesn't have the potential to raise the floor talent wise for us. Plus, it'll be easier to reassess the class once NSD is over and we see how we get then (or lose for that matter, can't forget that lol).

If they win 5 again next year it won’t matter because he’ll be fired. Results on the field are the ONLY thing that matters. You don’t get championship trophies for recruiting well. That said, he’d literally have to try to lose to go 5-7 again next year. Like he’d have to retain Gattis and hire Mark D’Onofrio to coach defense and switch to the triple option. You can’t suck forever brining in this much talent.

He won’t be fired with that talent coming in. Guys that want him fired see the now but don’t look into the plan and future. Those are the fans I tune out. If they followed the sport instead of just UM they will realize talent acquisition wins titles eventually.

The so called genius play callers never win anything unless the HC is a recruiting phenom. We are building to dominate not be one year wonders.

I don’t think we will be ready next season I expect a bit more growing pains. The following season we smack and then u see them coming together. I think we need a running qb though, defenses are to athletic to have a statue back there. U need to keep the DEs honest we need a scramble and who can throw it and be accurate with it.

The object is to win games, not recruiting titles. I get it that acquiring talent usually leads to winning games but there’s quite a few teams that have been recruiting at a top 10 level for a long time that have won nothing. You need to actually coach teams too. What good is signing recruits if you’re not actually winning games?

But I’ll leave it at that since this isn’t the thread for this topic. Let’s keep winning the off season and enjoying gator failure.

U win games with recruiting evals and closing it’s been done by butch…..saban…..osu…..lsu….Clemson….Georgia…..etc. it takes time……and fans that were calling for harbaughs head at Michigan were stupid asf. Now it’s lying off, they may not win but that OL gives them a chance if they can block talented south squads. Which is a different animal.

When we win down the road I’ll expect you to agree with me in the future on this topic
