Change of heart.

When some of this young talent leaves via the portal and he has to replace them with players from the 50+ rated recruiting class along with who knows from the portal, what are your thoughts?. He shouldn’t have to be 30 plus games into his tenure to be showing improvement. He got a bad deal with losing his QBs, but it’s also on him for having a walk-on redshirt freshman as his third QB.

 

“Showing signs” midway through year three is an insanely low bar. I’m not saying he should have a year-one run like Cignetti, but it’s unfathomable to me that anyone would have such low standards for the UF program.

 

Swampgas for 20 threads on this. -->

 

The issue is with keeping him…..whats the expectations for next season then? To win 8 games? This schedule will STILL be tough no matter who the coach is next season.

 

He doesn't even have a QB in this class. That's not good.

 

Keep in mind we are essentially playing the same tough schedule next year. That should weigh heavy on how we feel.

 

It will still be tough because it's virtually the same schedule, just trading UCF for USF and swapping all the locations. Sixteen teams in the conference and we play the same eight next year. Ridiculous scheduling.

 

That makes a lot of assumptions.

1. All existing contributors stay-you know other teams are in their ear through back channels-DJ being #1
2. He is a dead man walking on the recruiting trail and could end up dead last in the SEC-that has to improve because HS recruiting is still the foundation
3. Portal-Can he pull enough talent to plug holes-depth at certain positions is still a concern-is the NIL there for it?
4. He does not have a legit QB behind DJ

 

and it would be the same recruiting and dead man walking situation next season too. Say we start out 0-1 against Miami, then what lol

 

Win some games Billy.

 

well, thankfully Miami is game 2. (uSF is game 1). Just busting chops my friend.

 

I was a supporter , then wanted him fired after mismi. Then reaffirmed after A&M. Now im just confused.

 

Ca

n we have a damn qb now that we have some defense.

 

Somebody will have to release the bags. He cant recruit with no money. Im pretty sure thats got everything on hold.

 

Are we allowed to make assessments based on his first 2.5 seasons?

Is this your evidence for BN earning his 4th year?

(Would not be surprised if he gets a 4th year, but I think he hasn't earned a 4th year)

 

Agree. Too many dominos have fallen for him to salvage recruiting or to be able to work the portal.

 

Maybe think about for a while longer... like when the season concludes.

 

If that happens, and it's a legitimate possibility with ESD less than four weeks away, when is the last time we've finished so low in recruiting? Certainly nothing like this in my memory.
