An OC that gave him very little time. Id guess 70% of the OL problem is Billy's playcalling.
Eventually Retard Billy might figure out that run blocking "to sell" the play action or double play action (fake jet too) is a dumbass play call most of the time.
But he hasnt so far. It has only been 12 years though. Maybe he is just a slow learner.

I looked up Budget Corndog's stats on offense as a head coach. Interestingly, the more success he has the more the receiving yards drop. His best 2 years at Louisiana his receivers didn't even get 500 yards. That crap won't work in today's game against elite teams. That's peewee garbage.

The other thing is that everyone is scoring more because of the protections for the quarterback and the receivers from vicious hits. I'm not saying this just because I love Spurrier ball but hell everybody scores 30-40 points these days, even with window licker quarterbacks like Spencer Rattler and a terrible coaching staff.
Saban was scoring twice as many points as the first part of his career because he realized that what you have to do under today's game. Adapt or get fired.

One last thought will I finish my physical therapy stuff, Billy has a decent run game scheme. he has some nifty adjustments and has quite a few little split zone wrinkles and outside zone wrinkles that are not bad. It is probably the best run game scheme we've had since probably the '80s.
His passing game is... I wouldn't say bad but just neophyte like middle school level. Very bland basic flood routes and crossing routes. 099 level spread stuff. and the receivers don't run good routes and won't under Billy Gonzalez. they never have. even Percy got an NFL scouting rating of "doesn't know how to run routes". Throw that in with his insistence on running play action almost every pass. this will just never work.
When I say it's not "bad" I mean it could be part of a functional playbook with better play calling selection and some more advanced passing concepts thrown in there.
it got worse last year when we apparently tore most of the pages out of the Mullen screen pass book. I suspect that is also Billy Gs work. Obviously screen passes can work, usually when the defense is backed up fearing the long pass. Spurrier was the master of hitting a draw play or a screen pass when the defense was playing deep trying to stop his vertical passing game. Using the screen game when the defense is playing tight and expecting a run just won't work. Again you're just running plays into the teeth of the defense. it won't work unless someone trips or misses an assignment.
This isn't complex stuff. This is like Playcalling 099 level stuff. The building blocks, not even Playcalling 101 type stuff. Did it work at Alabama under McElshark? Sure. If their X can't stop your O, due to completely being out-talented, then I guess any play you draw up on X's and O's works. (I would say Vs and Os but no one says that, but everyone draws Vs not Xs.)
We're never going to get to the position of just out talenting our rivals. We never did even during the 90s, as Tinerc, Ugly, Clowns and Bammer often wom on recruiting day but not on game day. Only for a short period under Meyer did we have enough talent to just "out-talent" the other team despite a poor offensive scheme.

This is a spurious argument. We put just as many players in the League as every other Blue blood. In fact, over the last 10 seasons, we have some the highest number of players drafted and playing on Sundays. You can still make the league by playing losing football at UF.

THIS is why Ox held a meeting regarding your return and why we voted the way we did.
Welcome back.

You think comparing to three other schitt offenses is helpful?
MAYBE WE CAN STEAL A WR FROM KINTUCK!!!
Now do Ohio State and USC.

Just providing the actual facts to compare to what you wrote. I didnt comment otherwise in support of your comment or against. Your reaction is on you, not me.
Was it helpful?

incredibly helpful if our goal is to try to steal a few wide receivers from Kentucky rather than the five stars that Ohio State keeps landing from the state of Florida.

Dang. The W/L record can sure overshadow what some of our best players could do. Also gotta grip props to Mertz. He got those two the ball. But Dayum, if the D could have just stopped people.

Well, Kentucky beats us with their WRs so might be an upgrade. Why would Ohio State WRs come to UF. Against fsu Billy couldn't even scheme 50 yards for Pearsall to break 1000.

Dude, when we had SOS we usually led the country or were top 5. The reason the SEC offenses suck is because most are trying to emulate 2009 Trailerbammer, which even Trailerbammer doesnt do anymore.

So far in this year's portal 15 of the 22 have been out of state players.

I just saw on another site that Asa Turner, the Washington safety (who visited last weekend) has registered at UF.
