Gators interviewing defensive coach candidate (Hired)

Im more confident in our offense than defense but im not qualified to have an opinion.

 

No one posting on these boards sans maybe one or two actual football coaches is qualified. Something many here forget from time to time. I for one appreciate the reminder.

 

Lol, and they aren't appealing to us to be our oc either.

 

Shocking I tell you! We have posters on here that clearly are SOS level play callers.

 

I di sometimes wonder how some got their jobs.

 

Knowles went to Pedo State because he doesn’t get along with Larry Johnson (OSU DL coach) so Ryan Day told him he was free to leave. Pedo State was the highest bidder, and it really doesn’t matter. James Franklin is a coward and a fraud and will never win a national title no matter what coaches and players are there.

Some of you need to relax. We hired a safeties coach. The “co-DC” title means nothing other than a smart way to avoid paying a buyout.

 

I can think of 3.1 reasons why a lot of teams can say they didn't want him anyway.

 

That’s a ridiculous salary for a DC. 100% agree.

 

Oh - but it’s a “boss move” and we should have done that even though we already have a DC.
Go figure

 

To me it was a boss move. Is he now the highest paid DC though? Yes, ton of money and with it comes the pressure to be worth it. Will be interesting to see what our lower salaried DCs produce vs OSU's. Maybe end of next season Napier looks Boss?

 

I’m not sure when overpaying for staff became a “Boss Move.” To me it’s a waste of a million a year that could be used for talent acquisition.

 

We've been saying they have ridiculous salaries since the 70s when they actually started making enough money to get a living out of it

 

The teams winning the championship have been overpaying the entire time, but it is what it is. Pretty much the teams spending the most money are winning the most games.

 

I get what you’re saying Wanne, but also working to their advantage are the facts that:
1) those teams have been doing this for a very long time, including before it became “legal” for everybody to pay players, and
2) those teams have been averaging 10+ win seasons over the past decade while we’ve been averaging 7.7 win seasons, with a bunch of 6s and even a 4 thrown in

In just our 3rd season under Billy, and our 1st winning season in 4 years, we have zero momentum compared to Ohio State, Bama,Georgia, LSU, and the rest of those teams throwing multi-millions at coordinators. We are still digging out of a hole.

Winning helps recruiting too

 

You know, I totally agree skink. I have my patience and I don't expect too much. I guess I'm just stating the obvious.

 

We’re pretty much in the same place friend. Except you get to go fishing more than I do these days

 

Ive been offshore only once since the end of summer. Im ready though.

 

Oh wow I thought you were out almost every week

 

When it's warm, I tried to go out a couple times a month if the weather permits, but if it's more than 2 feet I'm not going. My buddy has a 32 foot Albemarle and we fish his boat quite often. Ive got a 21 foot center console and I don't like to run that out there in the cold. Life jacket 40 miles off shore Is a scary proposition in the winter

 

You aren’t wrong to stay in on those days. My brother and I tried to run out to K-tower one winter day with seas forecast at 1-2. We were about three miles out when the first wave broke over the bow. We fought rough seas the entire way back in to protected waters. Stay safe and tight lines!
