Glad toneys gone, but this doesn't really move the needle much:

"During his time in 2021 and 2022 at Southern Mississippi, Armstrong was the youngest coordinator in the NCAA. In 2022, Armstrong’s Southern Miss defense ranked 57th in total defense, giving up 372.2 yards per game and 5.4 yards per play."

Wait a second. I pulled out my abacus, added 5.4 yards plus 5.4 yards and came up with 11.2 yards. With a first down every 10 yards and the opposing offense getting 4 downs per possession, does this mean the opposing offense will get a first down every 2 plays against us? :scratchhead:

I think your abacus may need to be calibrated.

Nape gets an A fckin plus for dumping Tony and Peagler,
Colbert moving up reflects well on Nape.
I'll cross my fingers on who he hires but I.d love to get a ST coach out of this.

My RPN scientific calculator says a first down every 1.85 plays.

How can there be a 0.85 play?

It's UF, our players are geeks.

We can do fractions.

Could’ve been user error. My abacus skills are rusty and I’ve been spoiled since the advent of the calculator a few months ago.

Are we nerding?
I learned slide rule sr year in HS. Works surprisingly well. Following year HP introduced the 41CV and I never picked one up since.

In case you missed it, Toney admitted to not having a system and only taught concepts. After watching his defense up close for a year I can say with 100% certainty that he wasn't lying. What you should be hoping is that the new guy actually has a system to install so we can get back to playing real defense. I know, I know, here I go talking crazy again..
I hear you, but I also realize it’s overstating it to say we had a defense.

Do we know anything about these guys? I feel like every time we turn around the names were going after our completely unknown.
Stepp is currently South Carolina wr coach (39yo).
Kiesau is the former Boise/Auburn OC that's already on staff as OA right now (50yo).
