***Official Florida Football coaching hires 2017***

[BMF]

5. Mac wants to lock down south Florida. The question is, are there to many hands in the cookie jar? He has a bunch of coaches whose only ties are to that part of the state and nowhere else. Is that good or bad? Spivey thought it a huge mistake. De La Torre didn't.

I don't think any of the hires are impressive. But I don't think they are a drop off either. The OL has been the 2nd most unimpressive position group on the team (behind QBs) the last 7 years, we needed a change there. I like hearing that Davis is a 'in your face' type of coach. They need a kick in the ass. Now that we have depth I hope they will be less hesitant to replace under-performers.

I like that we're having more of a presence in south Florida. However, we need to get it together in other areas. We didn't sign one kid from Georgia or Jacksonville. Only 3 kids from Jacksonville since McElwain took over (and one was Kalif Jackson, a reach). Those two areas alone should be further addressed in recruiting. I don't think you really need to have ties to an area to be successful recruiting, especially in the state of Florida. When UF walks into a HS they should be excited, "Hey, Florida is here to see you!!" And if we're going to lock down a part of the state, we need to be pulling the 4-star kids, not the 2-stars.

I liked the comments Fruhmorgen had to say about Davis. Very positive. Along w/ the podcast that said he's more of an "in your face" type of coach, it looks good. Hopefully the change in persona from a coaching standpoint will go a long way.

@NickdelaTorreGC: Spoke to staff and players. Rave reviews on @coachseider, @coachbraddavis and @CoachCBell26.

Like the excitement about Davis. Let's hope he's a beast on the refuting trail.

refuting trail.

Was that a Freudian slip?

 

[gatormandan]

So far it sounds decent. Go Gators!

Blame apple.

 

[NavetG8r]

Blame apple.

I blame you for owning apple.

 

[gatormandan]

I blame you for owning apple.

And you for eating them.

Maybe it was a Fruhmorgen slip.

For those that are interested, here is Brad Davis' o-line in action. I've watched his o-line at JMU as well. No complaints. The UF/NT game is on youtube as well, but that isn't a fair game to judge as they were way over matched.

And here is Brad Davis talking about his recruiting philosophy. He's well spoken, passionate, intense. I'm impressed.

All I know about this guy is what I just saw on that youtube video... and I really, really like what I saw and heard from him. He doesn't strike me as a guy who takes excuses and settles for less from his players. Hopefully, he will be exactly what we need on the field, and on the recruiting trail.

Yep. We need an OL coach who gets "in your face" w/ the players. They've obviously not had that and seem to just lollygag around...lollygag here....and lollygag there....they're a bunch of LOLLYGAGGER'S!!! Hopefully that comes to and end this season!
