Kerwin Bell has Valdosta State on fire with offense

[secgator]

I found this article showing Valdosta State is lighting it up. Kerwin Bell's offense is averaging 52.7 pts/game....over 500 yds/gm total offense....and 227 yds/game rushing--7.3 yrds per carry. Granted, it's D2 ball but still pretty good numbers at any level.

Glad for Kerwin to get his system really up and going in his 3rd year there.

Valdosta State's offense ranks as one of nation's best

good find SECG..........we all love us some throwing mayoan.....wish he could get to UF one day

 

[rogdochar]

It's time some big program had a place for him. Hope he doesn't take a detoir to Spurrier.

 

[RiverRat]

Good read.......Time for Kerwin to get a shot with the Big Boys!!!

Any chance Valdosta will sign up to play us once or twice a year over the next 2 or 3 years?

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Valdosta has had a great offense for years.

 

[ChiefGator]

Perhaps as our QB coach or offensive coordinator in a year or two? I sure don't want him going to our rivals.

 

[secgator]

From what I recall, he had a good run at Jacksonville U for the most part--and especially given that was a non-scholarship school. Really a tough way to coach football without schollies

We doin this again?

That's true....and my long term memory seems to recall when Hal Mumme was there as HC before he got the Kentucky job, their QB won what was the equivalent to the Heisman at the D2 level. Player of the year or something like that.

VSU is known for being an offensive school over the years, that's for sure.

We can always count on you to denigrate a Gator great's achievement

Shame he hasn't moved up to a larger program, all about who you know I guess.

 

[rogdochar]

I'm thinking only UF could have moved Bell from Jacksonville. Bell the father didn't want to repeatedly uproot his kids on that itinerary that HC-chasing entails. But when his youngest son, good QB at good Jax H.S. finished being top QB at JU, then Bell began his moving.This small town Florida boy's dream may just be = OC/HC UF. Spurrier knows Bell's worth; Bell assisted SOS here one year at UF while rehab leg injury before returning to CFL QB/player-coach career. He has lots of solid experience, more variedly useful than most. And he is a Gator Great who wants to make Gators great.

Chris Hatcher was the qb......then later the coach. He went to a few 1AA programs and never had the same Valdosta success.

I joked during the coaching search that we should hire Bell for $500k, fill the contract with huge incentives, and see what happens. Couldn't possibly be worse than the previous two hires...

This.

That program has been a powerhouse since Hal Mumme coached there. They’ve won the national title a couple of times.

Not to take anything away from Kerwin, but he didn’t have to “build” that program. Those are great numbers, don’t get me wrong, and he deserves an OC shot somewhere in FBS.

We’d probably get smoked.

.

Yeah.... Mumme, Leach and Holgerson.

But Kerwin is doing it all WITHOUT cocaine.

Great achievement moving down from FCS to D2 at this stage in his career? Other than the fact he was a Gator QB, is there ANY viable reason we want an OC who's never coached above the non-scholarship FCS level? If this was Joe F*cking Blow coaching at Tusculum, would we want him?

He turned down Auburn while at Jacksonville U to be their OC
