I agree with some things you say but not others. One has to be careful about judging coaches by W/L record, especially short term, as in this discussion, the case with DeBoer. He has been fortunate that he has an exceptional QB this year. I can make you a long list of similar situations (Orgeron...

I am guessing that since you note the UW coach in the subject line that you are criticizing Napier. I don't think it's fair to judge two programs focused only on the coaches. I am not too familiar with the facilities at Washington, but they had been better than what Florida had for years. Gator...

So you are happy the football program has been broken the past 14+ years because Meyer won two "national" (in reality BCS) championships?

First, I did not say he is building "only" through HS prospects, I said he is building "primarily" through HS recruits. Second, I am speculating based on his actions, comments made, and just common sense. I don't think his "plan" was unknown to Stricklin. I am speculating that they agreed there...

I did not listen to the radio show, and I have no inside information. However, I do think this is probably true. Many recruits have commented that Napier has a "plan", as has Napier himself. I can only guess that the "plan" was to slowly purge the roster and replenish primarily through the HS...

But wasn't Bateman one of the better recruiters on staff?

In my simple mind there are two things that are important in hiring a S&C coach - the obvious is that he has to be good but the other thing is he has to be trusted by the head coach since there are rules that limit amount of weekly contact, and the S&C coach actually has more contact with...

Is it possible there will be some information on a new DL coach in the next couple of days and he's waiting?

Correction - Urban Meyer started this "mess".

I thought I read he was a QB up until this year? So maybe he didn't go as a DB to all the camps and 7on7 competitions that all the recruiting services are enamored with.

When I first heard that Florida hired Raymond, I couldn't believe it, nor could I understand why LSU let him go after Kelly was hired. But Raymond really hasn't recruited the CBs as I imagined he would. I recall seeing some top HS CBs committing to other schools because of connections to younger...

change is coming: Is college athletics headed for The Great Split? 'We need to recreate or relaunch the NCAA'

What I don't understand is people want a coach to come back who broke the football program in the first place.

I would say that one of the most surprising aspects about the current staff is the inability to land the top CB prospects considering the reputation Corey Raymond has.

This is a very good analysis, and one can't argue against it, except that it ignores three, in my mind, important things. In essence, it's a classic apples/oranges comparison - they're both fruit and that's about it. First, I counted (and I could be wrong here) 32 LSU upperclassment vs. 20 FLA...

I'm not sure what you think the "rule" is? I find it disturbing when statements that have no foundation are made that are based on emotion or for the purpose of trying to advance some narrative or agenda. I am not sure how one judges the development of "highly rated kids" on one recruiting class...

Ummmm .... Graham Mertz?

Development hasn't been good? Wasn't O'Cyrus Torrence something like a two star recruit who ended up being an All-American?

Excellent read with some interesting quotes. There was another interesting article a while ago: A deep dive into Billy Napier's slow rebuild at Florida, and all the frustrations coming with it. Both these articles indicate that the Gator football program was in a really bad state and major...

I agree it's a good read, and there are parts I agree with, but for the most part, I disagree with what he is saying. The best thing he writes is: I completely agree with this. But he describes Napier during a game: And he say's it's a problem. I would thing these are good qualities a team...
