Seriously. We have about 60 players on the team still from what I hear. Now factor in regular attrition for the offseason plus current players transferring/quitting for various reasons like being told they suck by the new staff, butthurtness over new staffs system, GPD and all the greens and girl trouble and my guess is we lose at least another 10-15 guys who aren't seniors...Wah-lah you have the same exact scenario that Arkansas went through after being single handedly destroyed by John l.......In fact it was so bad that even a decent 3X conference champion winning coach, Bert couldn't make any headway in 5 years and will be fired.
Still don't believe me? Look it might feel good to take a shot at FSU this season but mark my word, they will be a top 5 team again next year, too much talent and their players haven't quit in any of their games....When the get Francois and a host of injured players back in the offseason look out.
Now add in the Miami situation They are most likely looking at a playoff spot and ALL the S.Fl. recruits will be taking notice. In other words they will have a ton of momentum going forward regardless of how they finish the season....They're back....
Now add in the UCF wrinkle assuming that Frost does not take the UF job....The recruiting pie just served up an even smaller slice and he's going to get some pretty good athletes not to mention some of our 3 star filler recruits....Which brings me to this, I believe as I've said over the last 2 weeks that e we are going to get Chip Kelly.
Now I ask you if we do get him does he have the stuff to overcome what looks to be the biggest barrier ever facing UF football....4 other successful in state programs, current lack of talent and quality depth, a losing/quitting mindset instilled by a lying jackass loser of a coach....Now lets assume Chip rights the offense slightly(we have more talent on that side of the ball now) will our lack of talent and ANY meaningfull depth on defense make us competitive with more than just directional schools and the crappy teams in the East Division?
How long does this process take a coach like him(or any other coach) to overcome? Before you say really quickly consider the 4 other in state programs. Now consider that former coach Meyer only had to deal with the other 2 big programs and Zook left good numbers and QUALITY players at EVERY position...Since Meyer left we have never truly recovered our numbers and CERTAINLY not quality of depth.
So tell me what you think our new coach is up against(regardless if it's Kelly or Frost)?
