    Yep, the NIL and the Portal are hard to figure out in 18 months, but he says he has a handle on it now.

    Nope
    Mostly buzzwords cliches and things you can’t measure like “success” and “culture”
    No excitement at all in Gainesville

    I hope you were kidding. Too 10 in recruiting. 2 of the top 10 HS players signed and on campus; a third (Graham) who should have been top 10, and may be the best recruit in years. Multiple, positive changes to staff. Lots of returning, young and now more experienced talent… Yeah…nothing to be excited about.

    I realize that SOS was unique in that he didn’t use coach speak…. I think if Billy would stop that crap it would buy him time and patience from most fans

    We learned that Billy chooses to go down on the 2 OL coach failed experiment and him continuing to be OC hill.

    I agree. He seems to have replaced “, right” with “Yeah/no” and “to some degree”

    2022 OL "failed"?

    What did the coaches do to fail the OTs last year?

    He needs to start with Roberts. Roberts is the DC and AA got a pay raise to take a demotion.

    2 Oline coaches. Also bringing in Ron Roberts to “coach” Armstrong.
    Seems like not the best candidates for their position if all that has to be done.
