The staff has been set for weeks, except for the WR coach. So what the hell is going on?

Discuss.

 

[KCgator]

No.

 

[CaribGator]

I'll bet before the season starts we have one.

 

[GatorTAG]

McElwain runs the wishbone. No WR coach needed.

 

[t-gator]

I don't understand why we haven't hired anyone. I think it's ridiculous. Now that the coaching carousel is over it looks like we'll end up grabbing an assistant wr coach from the nfl. It doesn't help with recruiting either

 

[NavetG8r]

All I know is Coach Mac said we'd be thrilled with the hire.

I think he said we'll be thrilled if he hires

 

[The Original DC]

Sometimes I wonder if Coach Mac is still on Colorado time. You know, sorta laid back, don't worry be happy, it is what it is, smoke em' up attitude, while Gator Nation is a little more fast-paced and restless. Name a coach already!

 

[-THE DUDE-]

I think whoever it is we are going to hire is finishing recruiting for their team and will be named shortly after NSD

 

[MJMGator]

Debose is considering their offer.

I'm fairly certain his biggest priority right now is securing a recruiting class. I'd rather he spend every waking hour doing that. A WR coach is not critical at this instant.

Good point!

 

[MidwestChomp]

After the past 4 years he looked at the roster and said we don't need a WR coach we need a miracle worker.

I was told this was a dumb idea when I posted that thought.

Discussting ….. a prominent WR coach could recruit some 6'4" speedy WRs that so many others schools are pulling in.

 

[WinterGarden Gator]

I think you are both correct. It's the only logical explanation.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

We're waiting on Belichick.

Still missing: wide receivers coach
As was mentioned one week ago in this space, new Florida Gators head coach Jim McElwain has been in no rush to fill the last position on his initial coaching staff with Florida still looking for its wide receivers coach 21 days (as of press time) after every other member of the staff was officially announced.
Nevertheless, a source close to the program reaffirmed to OnlyGators.com on Sunday that there is indeed a high level of interest in the position with at least two former Gators players, and one former Florida assistant coach, in the pool of candidates for the job. There are also a couple NFL assistants hoping to get the gig. McElwain has a few front-runners in the aforementioned grouping and will continue interviews this week between recruiting visits and phone calls.

Whether a wide receivers coach is hired in the nine days before National Signing Day (Wednesday, Feb. 4) ultimately remains to be seen, though there is a growing expectation that one could be hired before the week is out.

No, KC, we must fret and complain endlessly until we have our WR coach!
