Jimbo hires Petrino

[gatormandan]

Twice the OC that Billy is. We need a similar hire soon.

 

[gatormandan]

So b52, you think Billy is a superior OC than Petrino? You must be clueless.

Gotta love yet another thread to give our resident dumpers reason to slam UF.

Meanwhile, they also appear to be very sensitive about downvotes.

It’s an upgrade, but I’m not sure it changes all that much. Fisher is still an ED-laden loser whose wife is suddenly following the entire Lsu football team on Twitter.

All this does is give our upgraded defense the chance to crush them both again when we play at Kyle Field in ‘26, ‘27 and ‘30.

Post of the year so far

Do you think the TAMU insurance underwriters will get behind the hire?

Even though I think Dumbo blows as a HC, I think this is actually a good move, regardless of the results. I am not saying this means ATM will win any more or any less, but the money guys at ATM pressured Dumbo to improve the offense and he has hired a guy who has shown he can move the ball and score points at high D1 and with different types of QB's. Secondly, Petrino sees this as his last chance to ever get a crack (if at all) as a HC back in D1 even if only at mid level. He has been at D8 for a while and jumped at a chance to be OC at UNLV, a football powerhouse. So jumping at this chance was a no brainer. If successful, then Dumbo looks good and the money guys will be happy. If it fails, then Dumbo can say "see, I told you so."

Will ATM become the new "Coach Rehabilitation" program like what is being done at Bama?

For that to work, you actually have to win something.

It hasn’t done any favors for DJ Durkin. If you’re a closet homosexual that enjoys bonfires, weird chants and milk delivery guy outfits I guess it’s possible.

Just saw where Gus hired Darin Hinshaw to be OC at UCF. Darin's brother works for us and was telling me Gus is letting him call the plays. I wonder if Napier might come to the same conclusion that a HC has way too many other responsibilities to half ass such an important role....It would also be nice if maybe he would bring a UF alum in or possibly someone with UF ties the way Gus did with Hinshaw.

I have no idea what capacity it would be....and his other work probably precludes him from doing it just because he makes more elsewhere, but I always wished Tebow was involved with the program still, purely from that fact that he's just a motivator, plain and simple. He speaks, players listen.

True. But, and hear me out, I'm sure it is nice to get a job after being fired. And some of these coaches getting fired are really good at their jobs, or at least as a position coach, even though they deserved to be fired. And I kind of wish CBN would adopt this approach and snag some coaches. IMO, it brings in perspective and knowledge.

If the NFL thing doesn't work out Trask seems like he would be a good coach since he was level headed and from all accounts very teachable.

Not very vocal though.
And not even in the Bill Belichick way where he'll speak up when he needs to.
I don't even know what Trask sounds like He's a good kid though. Hoping the long term plan in Tampa was to build him up under Brady til 12 leaves and Trask is ready to go. I think he could be serviceable if they let him play enough.

I don't think QBs like to be yelled at and seldom respect you if you can't perform at, or above, their level. Trask could IMO.

The rest, I agree with.
