I think that's highly arguable. Highly. We are thin all over the place.

I think we're in good shape defensively. Everybody back except Fowler, although I could see some surprise early departures from fringe guys like Antonio Morrison and Johnathon Bullard. Even if those two were to leave, I still think we're in decent shape defensively. On offense, I'm taking the approach that we've got absolutely nothing. I guess DRob and Kelvin Taylor are players to build around, and Treon and Grier can be developed, but that's just a small few pieces of what's needed on offense.

Hell Meyer's current offensive coordinator might be the best one he's ever had. I believe sasquash mentioned him before

Don't underestimate the weakness of his competition. OSU truly plays NOTHING resembling SEC defenses.

We're going to be hurting on the O-Line that's for sure
Not so much in numbers, but certainly in experience.

Hopefully Foley has some pretty good indication that he can get who he's targeting otherwise we are just getting a bunch of coaches raises.

I'd put Rich Rod on par with Mullen and Freeze. I wouldn't be distraught but I wouldn't be jumping for joy either.

Something just tells me Franklin and Sumlin would kick ass at Florida. Imagine being a recruit or the parents of a recruit in the State of Florida. Jimbob Fisher walks in, reeking of redneck, gives his corrupt, Duck Dynasty pitch, while massaging and spinning questions about lack of institutional control. Then Al Golden walks in, gives his lame duck pitch while dodging questions about UM's average attendance at home games. Then walks in Sumlin or Franklin. A totally different approach, a totally different feel, a totally different look, a totally different message. I like the prospects.

No doubt...but not everyone will agree with the replacement. Hopefully it's not a head scratcher.

Rich Rod's system is ideal for florida high school talent. I think the move is much more likely from the program he is currently at. Is he my favorite name out there? No. But I feel he would be a good fit and it would bring some good energy to the fan base once his o started clicking.

He would also bring diversity. We'd be showing progress by hiring a Mexican~ American

Hiring Rich Rod would be the end of defensive football at UF as we know it. Keep that 3-3-5 on the West Coast where it belongs, we don't need those shenanigans over here.

I would like to see SOS return to where he helped build this program, mike shannahan I also like. But other then those two, bob stoops and Bobby Petrino I like the sounds of. I think stoops just needs a different place to coach and is getting a bit fatigue of ole boomer sooner. Mullen would be a good hire but don't know if he'd bolt from miss state immediately either.
