Again, what has Pittman produced?
The quick answer is not much. I guess by "proven" they mean he's actually started, played in games, and by all indications does have 2 arms. Beyond that, nothing.
To be fair, I think LP is one who probably belongs in the "damaged goods" file as much or more than anyone. Commits to Meyer during UF's glory years, then gets WM and his colossal failure. Coaches always talk about kids buying into
their system and the time it often takes for some of these kids to do so. Well this guys has been asked to do it 4 times now, all while enduring 4 of the worst seasons for UF in recent history. At some point, I think there's just a cynicism and jaded view of the whole thing. I won't assume that he and his work ethic have zero role in his performance. It may. But he's been dealt a brutal hand.
That said, I also think he's likely past the point of saving and we should be looking at other options like Powell, Calloway, etc. If he'd been revitalized in the Spring under the new staff, or should he have a monster Fall camp, then so be it. But as it stands, we may as well move on and accept things as they are.
