@ThomasGoldkamp: Interesting from latest USA Today salary database: Chris Leak compensation $150K, Travaris Robinson $510K - http://t.co/V3plpm7m9X #Gators
Maybe Leak will be one of those "consultants" that Bama has. To break that coach limitation.

Now we need about 49 more coaches to do assume analyst roles so our staff will be up to par with Bama's. :cool:

Ideally, I would of liked to of kept Summers, TRob, and Lawing, but this works out as well. Terrell is a fantastic replacement for Lawing, and we will see who the final 2 spots go to. Perhaps Callahan and Bell, though I think they will bring in someone of with more experience coaching the DBs. Regardless, I'm almost glad we basically cleaned house. It's time to move on and get moving in another direction, one in which McElwain and this staff seemingly fit the bill very well.

Glad Summers is staying!!!
Initially I thought it was important to keep T-Rob and still would have been ok with it. But sitting back and observing and comparing some points of view...I have no issue with douching the whole staff. Summers and Leak's capacity are fine by me. As of today we have 8 commits, 8! So maybe T-Rob was not doing as well of a job as we all were thinking he did. You can be the best recruiter in the would but if you can't coach a lick it won't matter and better talent will go elsewhere. Exactly why we've missed out on some top players and been trolled by others. It defintely looks as if Mac knows what he's doing.

When we see 3 or 4 defenders in the backfield, it's because there were 8 in the box to begin with and we ran the ball despite that. Most of it has been hardheaded insistence on running the ball even when we shouldn't. Most of the other is playing a moron at QB who can't mentally pull the trigger and holds on too long. Sacks dropped in half once we canned the QB.

Dawgchamp was the source of the infection. Other than the improvement we saw this last year on the OL with Summers, the other position coaches didn't seem to be able to develop the players. (guys like Fowler & VHIII etc are born studs) so it was either more micromanaging from the top or they weren't that competent. Send them down the road and let's start anew. I'm alright with keeping Summers, we did see improvement at that position and hopefully it helps land those highly rated big uglies we need so bad.
