(from Marty Cohen), this is ridiculous....and there are literally people who want to keep the OC (Nord isn't getting much love, but Nussmeir is - for some unknown reason):
Some (forgettable) numbers of note:
* It’s beyond ridiculous that in six games, Florida has not recovered a fumble. Florida is now the only FBS team in the nation to not pounce on a loose ball, and including FCS teams, 252 squads in all, only Florida and VMI have yet to recover a fumble in 2017, and VMI is 0-7 with a 13-game losing streak. Since 1950, only one Gator team has recovered less than six fumbles in a season, when the 2009 edition (of all teams) recovered just three . . .
* Florida is just 5-13 against the SEC West since the 2010 season . . .
* Florida has given up a whopping 223 yards in punt returns in six games, by far the most in the nation . . .
* Florida stands No. 105 in the nation in total offense, averaging just 351.2 yards per game. The Gators have reached 400 yards just once in the last 13 games (Vanderbilt a few weeks back), since piling up 523 on Missouri last season. More than half the FBS teams (68) are averaging 400 yards a game . . .
* Only four teams have thrown fewer touchdown passes than Florida’s four so far – Georgia Southern (3), Rice (3), Troy (2) and Army (1). Winless Georgia Southern has attempted only 74 passes in five games, while Troy is actually averaging a healthy 253 yards a game in the air, Rice is 1-5 and has been out-scored 218-70 and Army has completed eight passes in seven games. Opponents have thrown for more passing yards than Florida in every game in 2017 . . .
* Want to know why the SEC East is so weak, again – try horrible offenses. Five of the seven teams in the division are in the bottom 30 nationally in total offense – Florida (No. 105), Kentucky (106), South Carolina (112), Tennessee (116) and Vanderbilt (124), with Georgia (36) and Missouri (41) the outliers.

I knew someone would say that...
He went onto a straw man rant about how good staff's get raided and Morris was hired somewhere, he refused to address the follow up tweet that corrected that Morris was hired after Dabo fired the previous guy. He also ignored a question that was simple, how many sub-100 offenses are too many.
