    No, you have it wrong.


    You just hold your face to the computer screen and stare. Eventually, you see a picture of an elephant picking daisies in a field. Honest!

    You are not alone in this sentiment. Getting the awful feeling that we are just going to bump up two of the “army analysts” to full time coaches.:(

    You can’t hire a coach that has a job until the end of the season. It wouldn’t be right for a coach to quit his players until they finish their season. All we have is speculation.

    Disagree
    Position coaches move before the bowls all the time. At least announce they are moving before the bowls.

    Please don't hold your breath until you're blue.

    Unless you're wearing an orange shirt.

    Also, there is no such thing as right or wrong in college football. It's either win or lose as everyone pursues their greatest pay day. Players quit on their teams all the time. Coaches leave and don't tell recruits until after they've signed. College football is disgusting and corrupt.

    It happens but I like the ones that focus on their job and don’t distract their team. Sometimes it’s the plan but they keep it quite until they finish their season.

    Names are coming out. Right or wrong I don’t know but some names are leaking.

    So why were the 2 defensive coaches fired immediately? Spencer was on an expiring contract and Raymond had 1 year remaining on his. Both OL coaches are on expiring contracts. Is Billy playing the signing day ruse with them?

    We need to poach either Texas A&M's coaches or Aubren's coaches for the defensive back and lines positions. Hands down the best out there in MHO.

    Can't fart around, no delays...:eek:

    Are we talking with anyone? Do we have to wait? Boosters need to pony up.

    Go Gators.

    The more I think about it the more I believe that those coaches were let go (as others have speculated) because they were disgruntled in some way. We may never know, but the speed of the firing is telling.

    It’s the Nebraska and Michigan model. Theyre gonna come anyway so why spend a ton on product. There HAS to be Gator fans/boosters telling SS to save the money on the stadium and put it into recruiting and coaches ? Right? Or is he bought and paid for by the construction companies at this point ?

    Why?

    Answer: Is the defense being ranked at 103rd in the nation (146.3) a good enough reason why? Also, they were coaching the D Line and the Secondary. We all saw the poor tackling, the inability of break loose off a block, the state of confusion, and the lack of game awareness. Thus, they became the low hanging fruit that is easily picked off.

    The boosters will have their money spent how they want it spent or they will keep it next go around.

    I’ve seen the DB name, think that would be a good one. Think he worked with Armstrong in past?
