We get it. You’re a “glass half empty” guy/gal. No one is disputing that there were not issues with coaching last year. Do you want extra credit points for bringing it up?
I get your side and his side... I do hope we give more time and effort into coaching the Special Teams up more.
For sure but, Still should have won 2 more games and those losses didn’t occur because of Freshman mistakes.
Maybe, but the 2 games that were actually close were clearly lost by the defense that had many more freshmen playing regularly. I think there is a correlation there. Of course, a lot goes into the failures of the defense, and dependence on true freshmen was just one.
I watched Lake Minneola live last season and I recalled they had 2 Soph OT's starting on the OL (Chancellor Barclay being one of the 2) and I was very impressed with both of them! I know your post was about Wiggins, but when I saw who he was going one on one with and I realized it was one of the 2 Soph OT's I had watched last season I thought I would mention both these young men at Lake Minneola are worth watching for 2026! https://www.hudl.com/profile/17927842/Chancellor-Barclay
May be close to top 5 for me too. Definitely top 10. That game was a lot of fun. My first year out of school and I came back from Houston for the game. Most all my friends stayed an extra semester and were there. Great time.
I'm pretty sure we wore orange jerseys against Tenn in 1977 also. I still have the tee shirt believe it or not.
Or play D like they did against USC this year. Man did they look good in that game. Nothing close to that at UF the last 3 or 4 years at least.
I could give a rat's ass about your last statement if he wins. Not that Kelly did much of that and probably wouldn't have here.
No doubt we had organizational problems but I believe Georgia uses similar tactics and they don’t have a cluster. It doesn’t matter how you get the job done as long as it works. It can’t be that hard to get the field goal team on the field and kick a freaking field goal. High schools do it all the time with a fraction of the staff. It doesn’t take ten coaches and 46 analysts to do the basic things. Now if you want to block field goals, you need the talent to do so and lots of practice at it.
Just do the basics. Don’t false start against Utah on third and short causing a punt with the game on the line. How bout a lb meeting a rb in the hole he is suppose to be in. A defense that looks for contact and tackles people. We aren’t going to develop elite talent into national champs overnight but we can do the basics and be 7-5 instead of 5-7. Next years schedule is a bitch though.
Yeah, but not trying to be disrespectful, but at the same time I would pin it more on coaching as there were several decisions late in both games that really cost us.
He's earned it, at least in regards to being a student athlete. He's the only scholarship football player that has a 4.0 cumulative GPA. There were only 4 total with 3 of them being walk ons. He also is very involved in special teams. I say Let that kid continue to earn what he values more than a college football roller coaster experience... a UF degree. Kudos to him.
I believe he has already graduated. He is entering his 6th football season at UF this fall. (2019 was his first fall semester). At this point, should UF be obligated for him to be on squad for a 6th season (and possible graduate degree). Seems like he and the school have already completed any obligations - if there are any- to each other.
So he's the one you would choose to push out? The Lone scholarship player with a 4.0 who has been loyal to UF, has bought in as a special teams contributer and its his last year and he would be who you choose to push out? I would think it would be the type of player Mike Locksley was complaining about, some backup who is whining about wanting more NIL money without having done anything to earn it.
