Florida set to hire Giants' Craig Fitzgerald to lead strength and conditioning

There is some smoke

 

Hope this hire will result in our guys not getting pushed all over the field like a grocery cart!

 

I think that there is a forest fire!

 

He’s very good when he was at South Carolina. This might be a Spurrier recommendation.

 

Could be! I think that Spurrier vividly remembers being booed by the supposedly friendly crowds and would like to help Billy out.

I think they may call that friendly fire. Just like being bombed by your own Air Force or artillery.

 

Uhh, I thought you liked every hire at UF.

 

That's gonna take time. And maybe PED's.

 

Hopefully not too long.
A good thing about this hire is that the Gators will have a lot of interior linemen (offensive and defense) next season that have at least two sessions of playing together. Continuity like this is a good factor in team building.
Hopefully Fitzgerald can get these guys to compete in the weight room and as well as the conditioning.

Hopefully we will see the O-linemen hit their blocks and maintain control (without holding). Also, we will see the D-linemen get that quick jump and shed/deflect the blocks on them.

The above two results, will provide a big improvement for the Gator offense. Maybe will will see Mertz get enough time to get the passing game vertical and not as much sideways.

 

Would be great hire if it occurs. Wife is from NY snd has family there. Has been very careful with his moves in past. Turned down Bama while at TN. If coming to UF, has to be Spurrier connection.

 

Let’s hope the HBC has some more recommendations for Billy to “consider”.
