Will Harris to scUM (See Post #56)

I would leave for equal pay if I were passed over but I hope it wouldn't be to scUM.

 

Wish I could counter your opinion with fact. I do believe we will be better next season.

 

Funny we say things like this. I bet some of our assistants think our recent organizational additions are bitch moves.

 

Jump ship for what though, to be an assistant at miami of all places?

 

If the reports from a few “insiders” from the end of last year are to be believed and there was a clash of personalities then Harris and a few others were going to be the odd ones out because they were already outside Napiers circle especially in regards to Roberts. So yeah, I don’t blame him. I’m not as concerned with the loss in his coaching as I am with the loss of his recruiting. He was primary or secondary on a lot of talent brought in.

 

That is my understanding as well. Though admiittingly I often don’t understand much.

 

Hah, neither do I according to the old lady.

 

Coach harris will have coached for 5 teams in 5 years.

 

Ron Roberts suddenly turned this defense around mid season and we saw it improve every game until it was playing at a high level. I'm sure we will hire another good coach and Coach Roberts will be apart of the hiring process, so he will get what he wants for his defense.

 

What we need is a coach to coach the coaches.

 

I hope so but this one seems to take some wind out of the sails.

 

That haunts me DieAGater. Who in their right mind….

 

It’s not difficult to decipher this.

 

I don't get it. He hired Sunseri to replace Harris? Harris seems like a good coach. WTF?

 

They cleared some things up on Hightop Sports. I’m not as upset now, but I do understand his desire to leave. If the contract stuff is true, ouch. I probably would have as well. Losing a good recruiter to a major competitor on the trail still sucks.

Here's the video MarineG8R was talking about. Go to 11:41. It wouldn't give a link that started there (sorry).

 

Can you give us an example of that?

 

Care to clear things up on Gator Country?

 

I think we had one... But he left...

 

I agree with your statement and question.

In my opinion, Armstrong's departure was due to a riff. It appears that his leaving the Gators was so that he will regain the play game time calling role that he lost to Roberts.

However, we have to note that the Gator Defense became more of an asset than a liability in the second half of the season. A good part of that change was due to the Defensive Secondary being consistently good at making big plays.
Why did Harris leave for Miami?

• The hiring of Vinnie Sunseri to coach Florida’s safeties and serve as co-defensive coordinator looks to be a deciding factor.
• Could be Harris saw a better future at UM.
• What is odd here is that Harris's move is more of a lateral transfer instead of a promotion.
• Could be that Miami offered more money.
• Or it could be a riff.
