There was no dumping of Seider. He was offered the TE/Recruiting coordinator post. Knox is actually an excellent RB and Special Teams coach. Our special teams have sucked for 10 years now. Seider chose to go to PSU. Larry Scott replaced him at TE because of the Florida recruiting ties.

So it was musical chairs and Seider lost. Too bad, because what he did bring to the table does not seem to have been replaced at the moment.

No doubt Knox and Scott will have their guys playing well. That's certainly not the issue. But the talent they will have at their disposal in a few seasons might be.

Hope the worm turns.

Larry Scott is an excellent TE coach. He has also coached OL, RBs. He is recruiting Keon Zipperer, Jaleel Billingsly, Ethan Neal, Mark Anthony Richards for us. We'll see how good of a recruiter he is.

Everything looks like a long shot these days.

Jason Hidgon says Pickering is a potential flip. Looks to be the only one on the FNL list. Still feels like naive pumping.

They want Sanders to come, but he's not on the list yet. If he does end up coming it's a good sign.

Was there a conscious decision made post-Meyer to turn us into a venerable academic bastion of higher learning with a crap football team and good basketball team, like Duke?

Higdon is anything but a pumper...I’ve followed him for years and he gives about as honest of an assessment as he can...if pickering wasn’t seriously still considering UF he’d flat out tell you not to pay attention l. He always lives by the mantra of watch what they do not what they say...

That's great to hear. Gotta lift the clouds of cynicism that glower about our brows here all to often.

I don't know a lot about him, so that info is appreciated.

Anybody that is already committed to somebody else but still comes to visit is a flip candidate.

He’s one of the good “insiders” or whatever you want to call it. He was very tight with Charlie Strong so when he took the Texas job Scout moved Higdon from UF to TX so a lot of people forgot about him or don’t know him. He came back to UF a bit last year after Strong took the USF job.

Bullshyt. He was not offered a recruiting coordinator position or he would have stayed. His bio is still up for some reason and it clearly says just TE coach. https://floridagators.com/coaches.aspx?rc=660

How's that Larry Scott the Florida ties recruiter thing going for you?

Tell me when Knox had a decent special teams? Knox is trash. Knox has actually coached TEs in the past btw. We could have easily left him at TEs and STs.

It's kind of hard to sell that "we've got a great staff bullshtt" when we're behind Duke in recruiting. (Note they are probably still better than Butter's collection of geographic school rejects.)

Three years from now we will undoubtedly look at these assistant coach decisions as what got Cousin Eddie fired. He wanted guys he knew. He got them.

rubber gonna hit the road soon.
Yeah, these guys can't recruit so they damn well better have these three stars looking like Bammerstyle well oiled machine because it's not like there's more talent on the way.

For those that didn't listen to the Gators breakdown podcast Cousin Eddie's second year recruiting class was worse at cowbell also, and the third class was worse still. (Something like 17, 24, and 40th.) Maybe that was because of Butters also.

It's telling. They note improvements of around seven spots over and over again in each year's ranking between the first, second and third cycles for coaches who have found success in building championship teams.

If they crap the bed this cycle they better shock the world this season on the field and set it on fire during recruiting next year.

Anything less and we're looking up at UGA and maybe even Chump and Toothless for the next few years.

Maybe it all works out long term. Mullen does what he can and then gives way to someone who can take us back up to the top by the end of the next decade.

That's hard to take, but look what hell UGA had to go thru. 27 years. TWENTY SEVEN YEARS. Jesus.

Maybe Sanders can come in and help stop the rot. We're at crossroads where we need someone like him to come in and be the lightning rod.

not the most inspirational testament to his recruiting prowess. :(

no 5 stars. a few 4's, lots of 3's and NR guys.

Krull seems his best pull ever. Him being the most recent one is the best thing from that list.

And two basketball players? Shipman and Allen?

Mullen isn't going to make it if he doesn't get some recruiters on staff. The 2018 season isn't going to help for 2020 recruiting either since the offense will probably be mediocre again. After Macs crappy classes this 2019 class could be an early death blow.
