Great article and of course our coach deserves some of the credit, the rest to the players.

Gators hitting the gas as turnaround revs up with Peach Bowl win

Favorite part:

What's scary is that this is likely one of the worst teams he'll work with at Florida. The Gators are coming off their worst recruiting stretch in modern school history. For the first time ever, Florida has had four straight recruiting classes that have ranked outside of the Top 10 classes nationally.

If he can hire some recruiters(bagmen) he'll win big. If he keeps his friends on staff it's 8-10. Pretty much what richt was.

Thanks for posting

This pretty much sums it up for me...

"There's just an air of competency that hasn't existed since Mullen left town in 2008...."

Tagglewain might win 8 to 10 games every 2 years combined. I assume that's who your talking about right?

I think the point of the article was that the coach created an environment that captured the hearts and minds of the players which made it possible for the players to make contributions that lead to this point.

From the article:

Tim Tebow accounted for 35 total touchdowns in his senior season in 2009. That was good enough to earn him a trip to New York City as a Heisman Trophy finalist. This season Feleipe Franks, in one fewer game, accounted for 31. Say what you will about whether Franks is a good college quarterback or is the future at the position for the Gators, but the improvement on paper is mind-boggling.

EJ has a high mountain to climb if he's going to usurp our boy Feleipe next season.

That is a good article. I’d imagine there will be plenty of pumper articles this offseason. I’ll be interested to see if any staff changes are made.

Being overlooked :
1) Franks is rare in how little air-time it takes the ball to get to WRs.
2) Franks completes a lot of long passes = 20 yds, 30 yds, even 40 yds. That's not run of the mill QB ability.
3) Franks running ability (ypg production) is still unplumbed. Next year.
4) It's feasible that Franks (with Mullen) can increase his passing accuracy 10%-15%.
5) List 4 comparable things you know that's coming from EJ.

.

That isnt always a good thing. When he hit that pass to a double covered receiver on 3rd and 12 he needed the mustard.

Sometimes though, he needs to put a little air under it and give the receivers time to run under it, especially those longer fade routes.

Staff could go up & out. Success makes them attractive. The one area lacking progress toward the “Gator Standard” is the 2019 recruiting class. Mullen has to evaluate every coaching staff member and the support staff on that issue and upgrade if/where he can.

Let’s hope so. We need the positive aura around Gator football. They earned it and deserve it.
