Exodus of all these coaches?

It's literallly 70% of their job. Actual coaching about 30%. I mean look at this board. First reaction after a new hire is some comment about their recruiting ability. Literally before anything about their coaching ability.

 

Exactly. That’s why this is such a dumb topic. It’s almost like some sports writers, bloggers and what not get extra credit points or bonus’s for twisting anything negative to UF.

@antny1 posted a tweet in one of the recruiting threads that perfectly illustrates what I’m saying.

 

You have to do both to be successful in college. Just coach professionals.

 

I think it’s both schools of thought… not either it’s good or we should be worried.
I’m not concerned because - NFL > college and we were suspect of Toney anyway…
I am a little concerned with the exodus right before spring AND of losing Colbert. He was one of our better recruiters and we had quite a WR haul. The perception will start to be “Florida doesn’t have it together… offers you 13$m, pulls it. Recruits you with one dude, quits. Look at all the transfers”. Those things, right or wrong, will be used against us in recruiting and players will pick up on it.
Also concerned that - each one of these dudes said they were “coming to build something special with Billy. The atmosphere over here… the family feel… the attention to detail…” and I realize every staff says that… but to say that, then bolt after ONE YEAR? That, plus the amount of transfers seems weird for what we’ve been told by Billy as “people buying in to long term vision of the program. Year 2 and 3 will be better because guys will have been around “. Really? Who? To whom are you speaking lol. This is now Year 1…. Part 2.
Then you add in the NIL mess where it seems like people aren’t on the same page and talk among frmr players that there are issues behind closed doors.
All of those things combined does give me pause. And comparing OUR coaching departures with Bama, Georgia and Tenn is not even close to being accurate. We are in year 2 of a rebuild and went 6-7… our rivals coaches were all there at LEAST two years and had considerable success.
It does seem like something is amiss. If everyone was bought in/ why take off so soon?
Now, maybe CBN DID wanna make l moves? Maybe he hires BETTER replacements and an OC? I’d love that. But it altogether seems a little concerning.

 

And you definitely have to do one a hell of a lot more than the other. Which is sad. I've always followed recruiting pretty closely, but it has taken on a level of importance that, IMO, is bad for the game. It should matter, but it shouldn't be the only thing that matters. Which, I hate to say it, is the case now. Used to be that anything (class) in the top 10 was fine. Now, if you're not top 3, you're shit.

 

The gap is so much bigger and tge top talent is concentrated at tge too far more than it’s ever been.$$$$$

 

Which one?

Saban lost 4 assistants- is this also news?

 

One more time per a request. Perspective can change perception....

 

^That one

 

The sky is clearly falling in Tuscaloosa

 

Not that one! Look at @antny1 post

I’m sorry. I suck at this shit.

 

Lolol oops. I'll get it right. I was busy all day helping out a friend's business as news 13 was doing a Florida on a Tankful shoot. Watching dogs in the sun all day at their dog park and bar wiped me out and kept me from my phone most of the day. I'll try and correct it in the morning.

 

Job promotion for college coaches to the NFL. Doesn't bother me at all when our assistants leave to go there. If they were taking a corresponding job at Boise State or Kent State I would be concerned.

 

Perspective: Promoting Adazzio to OC was very concerning, these coaching changes are not. Not much downside to our current coaching changes.

With the dazzler, we went from a Ferrari to a Yugo.

 

Mullen was a Ferrari?

This should be interesting. Personally, I think he was an awesome OC and, to be honest, a decent HC. Maybe not the recruiting machine we need, but that's about my only complaint.

 

we went from a Meyer Mullen combo to a checked out Meyer (coach in name only) dazzler combo. which i would say makes my analogy more relevant. on a 1to 10 scale of worry the dazzler move was a 10. Going from Toney to Armstrong is IMO a zero on the scale of worry

 

The fans said Toney and TE coach were not cutting it in SEC and they are both gone after one year. Coach makes changes quickly when things are not working out. Can’t ask for more. Not loyal to coaches, loyal to program.

 

You must new around here. Welcome...and learn.

 

I was thinking a '72 Chrysler Newport, but that's just me.

 

Dead on, Skink. But fear not. There will always be plenty of coordinators/asst coaches to take their places on the barrel of tar and feathers...
