    Nembhard already killing it for Gonzaga

    I am really happy to hear Nembhard is already doing so well at Gonzaga! Can't really say that I'm surprised, though, because the kid is very mature and level headed for his years. Overall I feel about him like I do about Felipe Franks. Both were great Gators while they were here as players...

    James Bates is an interesting dude

    Really interesting article about James Bates. I had no idea that he was an artist nor did I know he was teaching a class on broadcasting at UF. Definitely one of the Gator greats! The Evolution of James Bates

    Lane Kiffin Hires D.J. Durkin at Ole Miss

    Ole Miss adds ousted Maryland coach D.J. Durkin to Lane Kiffin's new staff Not surprisingly, the circumstances surrounding Durkin's dismissal from Maryland are apparently not a concern for LK and Ole Miss. I guess a guy who breeds a "toxic culture" around a football program is not really a...

    Recruiting Underappreciated aspects of Dan Mullen's Recruiting

    Here are three aspects to Mullen's "portfolio" approach to recruiting that tend to get overlooked in evaluating his overall impact in this area: 1) Innovative use of Transfers with great success 2) Culture of Selflessness allows for more players to succeed (see WR corp) 3) Recruiting "Chess...

    Kash Daniel Apologizes to Trask and Gators

    Kash Daniel Apology after Belk Bowl Got to give the kid credit for a classy response to a very classless act. Very rare these days to see someone own their mistakes and truly apologize especially when there was no pressure anymore to do so. Kudos to him!

    Dan Mullen Really is the QB Whiperer

    Up until now, I'd thought Dan Mullen was a great QB coach based on: a) The relative improvement of Franks under his tutelage that led us to a 10 win season last year in spite of his various challenges that have been exhaustively documented on this board. b) The huge differential between Nick...

    The Muschamp (lack of) Success Formula is Alive and (un)Well

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.thestate.com/sports/college/university-of-south-carolina/usc-football/article235294922.html Some things, like death, taxes and gravity, are constants in the universe. Muschamp's approach to coaching is definitely one of those things.

    Does Urban Meyer Deserve a Spot on the Ring of Honor?

    It sure seems like Urban Meyer is trying to get back in the good graces of Florida Gators fans Interesting article. Though I have no interest in a second chapter with the Urbs, I personally think he deserves his spot on the Ring for what he accomplished while he lead the Gators despite the sad...

    Great Article about Mullen's "Culture Problem" at UF

    Does Florida have a ‘culture problem?’ Evidence suggests no, but the issue is complicated I really believe Mullen is trying to actually follow a lot of the core values and standards that he learned from Meyer. The consistent enforcement of those rules, however, is obviously a real priority with...

    More Encouraging Signs: Gators Acing Team Chemistry

    Gators Acing Team Chemistry This article really speaks to a core principal of Mullen's coaching philosophy which I believe makes him such an effective coach. This quote speaks to his understanding of how team development off the field contributes to winning practices on it: “I like all the...

    A truly unique schedule

    An early start, 3 byes, 2 FCS Teams and 2 neutral site games in a single season is a very unique combination of rarities. Hopefully it is also a recipe for huge success! Florida’s 2019 schedule is a fascinating specimen

    New CMU Recruit praises 'New Energy' there under Butters

    So many ironies here. I think that a 5 star punter is actually a really good fit for Mac's offense. 2019 5-star P Luke Elzinga recognizes 'new energy' under McElwain, commits to CMU

    Extensive Offensive Improvement - Mullen Year 1

    These statistical improvements speak for themselves. Do we still need to improve? Most definitely! But averaging a ranking improvement of approximately 73 positions over these 8 offensive statistics in one year's time is a huge accomplishment! This is especially encouraging relative to our new...

    The Savage Treatment

    Having watched this team develop for a little over half a season, I think it is clear that perhaps the most important part of this resurgence is the arrival of Nick Savage (who has one of the best names for a strength and conditioning coach ever)! The reasons I think this are as follows: 1)...

    Great Article on Signs of Progress for Mullen's Culture Change

    I really enjoyed this article and agree that the signs of Mullen's impact on the team are starting to show forth on the field. Henderson's extreme hustle on the sure UT touchdown play that wasn't was an especially encouraging example that the team is starting to understand the concept of...
