Florida Gators

“In the short term, I think they’re probably going to be about the same as they were last year.”

“Who’s going to be the quarterback will have a lot to say about how their season goes. Treon Harris was effective at times, but I’m not sure that’s the answer long term. The old staff thought Will Grier was their most talented guy, but we’ll see.”

“Who are their playmakers? The Demarcus Robinson kid has a chance to be pretty special at wideout, but who else? There’s a reason they struggled to score points.”

“If you look at what Jim McElwain did at Colorado State, he zeroed in on one guy early and developed the heck out of him. I bet he’ll do the same thing at Florida. He’ll pick the guy who gives him the best chance to win down the road and ride him through the ups and downs. I just don’t know who that guy is.”

“Whether it was injuries or lack of depth, offensive line was a big issue the last two years. With a new system, how will it affect them? If the offensive linemen they recruited are as good as advertised, they’ll have a chance to be good down the road. It’s hard to win playing freshmen in this league.”

“Will Muschamp recruited some talent there so they have players on defense, but they lost three guys up front. It’s not easy to replace a Dante Fowler.”

“I would think their back end should be as good as anyone.”

“Hargreaves may be the best corner in the country”

“Geoff Collins had the No. 1 red-zone defense in the country last year at Mississippi State and one of the better third-down defenses. He’ll bring a lot of energy.”

Who do you think said that?

Possibly - My first guess was our ex-OC even though he mentions them like he isn't the coach.

Nick Saban... he would have been familiar with Mcelwain's style

I think he is wrong when he says we will be about as good as last year. That may be true in the terms that we will win about the same number of games as last year, but I think we will be much better when it comes to the product on the field. I believe the offense will progress every game instead of making little to no progress as all. I think the defense will be better due to a more experienced secondary that should allow us to bring heat. As on who said it, I'm gonna say it first since no else has, Urban Meyer

Not 100% sure but I think they use fellow SEC coaches.

 

[PatDooleySucks]

Muschamp. Because there is actually an accolade thrown his way in the article about bringing talent to Gainesville. Nobody else would have said that

If only SEC, Nick Saban since he's been around Mcelwain before.

[ATXGator]

RIcht.... he has to say there is talent to cover for getting his ass kicked last year

 

[chferg]

I have to think Bulemia or Miles would have said the one about who do we have other than Demarcus Robinson...

Not enough crazy in the quotes.

 

[Okeechobee Joe]

Kind of hard to run up the score when your best playmakers are on defense.

 

[AlexDaGator]

Certainly not an SEC head coach. Maybe a TE or LB coach from a West team. Probably somebody's imagination.

One of the points made is our OL learning a new system--but no mention that the OL coach is a holdover from the previous staff.

Alex.

Which one do you think is Miles? Maybe he cuts the crazy out a little when he has time to think about it.

 

[PastyStoole]

Who do you think said that?

Which SEC coach is enough of a self-obsessed, narcissistic douche bag to take the time to comment off the record on something this banal, just to make himself feel important?

Lane Kiffin.

Before when they did these it was the head coaches I think. Even though not specified and it says coaching staffs I think it is head coaches but maybe they are using assistants this time.
