WTF did this idiot expect, that Cornvell would bring on Venebles and Joe Brady? You hire a coach from Memphis and expect the assistant coaches to be of the same caliber.
.
We hired a coach from the wac but he did not bring his entire staff of wac assistants with him, and the ones he did bring had p5 experience. When filling out the staff, he was pursued particularly concerned about getting the best recruiters he could find:
" Florida's staff already contains at least four assistants (Gonzales, Mattison, Heater and Locksley) who have been recruiting coordinators, as Heater was the recruiting coordinator at Colorado (1993, 1998), Washington (1999-03), and Utah (2004) and Mattison is a former recruiting coordinator at Notre Dame (2002-04). In addition, Gonzales was Bowling Green's co-recruiting coordinator in 2002 after leading the recruiting efforts at Kent State from 1999-2000. Locksley has been Florida's recruiting coordinator since joining the UF staff prior to the 2003 season."
Urban Meyer Announces Eight Additions To Football Staff - Florida Gators
if you hire a coach from Memphis, UCF, or cowbell, and they bring all their buddies with them, they're never going to win a championship.
Say what you want about Meyer and his "health" but he knows how to make an elite college football staff.
