We're doomed Billy promoting Calloway

You know that promoting Calloway means that Billy will be calling plays.

He had a chance to make us better but did this.

I'm starting to think he is tanking for the buyout so he can head back to the sunbelt.

While I don’t think it is that sinister…unless Calloway has complete control over the offense and play calling, Billy has doomed himself.

Don't you normally get promoted because you deserve it?

What did the TE do last year for Callaway to be promoted?

That whole group is the definition of being mid.

Look at who he had to work with. Zanders, Odom, now Hill.

We haven't been able to recruit TE for years.

Maybe Jackson will be one who can be better than average.

My guess is Calloway is an up and coming coach who will do great things, hopefully for us but certainly afterward.

I think we need to trust Billy on choosing coaches. Even his choices some us didn't like are very well respected and getting great jobs elsewhere.

I trust Billy (or any coach) a lot more than anyone on a message board concerning coaches. These boards are almost always clueless and myopic about coaches.

Mullen was one of the best OCs in the nation when he was at UF yet was constantly roasted on these boards while leading a historically prolific offense. We really don't know what we are talking about here.

You mean the coaches he hired and then fired?

I listened to Callaway and Napier and they didn't say he was going to be calling plays.

What is he doing that will be different from last year?
Callaway had a say in game planning last year and will have a bigger role this year.

We can't complain about the offense or the coaches on that side of the ball.

The offense can stay at the same rate they were but if the defense get better we won't be better.
