Saw a good point on twitter….

We have 3 LB coaches and yet one guy handling HC, OC and QBs :lol:

Let’s hope this changes

This may be the best news out of all of these coaching moves.

On Stadium and Gale, they alluded to Toney and Raymond not getting along due to differences in strategy when it came to the secondary. I expect the secondary play to be much improved this year after this.
I find it hard to believe Toney had a strategy.

Hey, @GatorJ , I didn’t mean to step on anyone’s toes.

Also, remember, Credit Karma is just a FICO guesstimate. Sometimes as much as 30 points off, one way or the other. I’m sure you’re actually higher.

*edit. You had me worried. :lol:

I meant to click the funny button. It’s right next to the dislike button on the iPhone.

Have you seen our linebacker play over the past few years? It wouldn't bother me to add a couple of more LB coaches.

Sorry to have to ask, but who is Sidehat?

I googled it and amazingly enough posts from this board came up that I was able to determine that Sidehat is Geoff Collins. Dude hasn’t been here in eons, but somehow we still talk about him.
He was universally despised when he was here, with fans calling for his firing at least 800 times a day. Now we have a group pining for him.

He was the brain child of that 3rd down money down nonsense. However, his D was better than anything we have fielded recently, but that’s when we actually had some LB.

From Wikipedia…

While with the Gators, Collins oversaw a defense that ranked No. 6 in scoring defense in 2016 and No. 11 in 2015.

That's the most important stat.

2022 So Miss - 45th - our new (unofficial) sunbelt DC - Armstrong.

2021 Rajun Cajuns - 9th - our former sunbelt DC
2022 Gators - 87th - " "

I hope Armstrong is just a rumor. At least Toney had a top 10 defense in the Sunbelt. I don't understand the justification with someone that's 45th. (other than they worked together prior).
