Part of the problem is that the Florida brand has taken a big hit starting in 2010.
We haven't had a good offense in 6 years... these 18 year old kids were 12. They just don't have memories of seeing the Gators being exciting and truly relevant.
Michigan has a big name coach in Harbaugh which has given them visibility.
Florida's brand is down and that is what Mac needs to fix more than anything. He has to get an exciting offense on the field next year so kids start to have a more positive impact of the band and Florida gets more highlight/press coverage.
I'm not saying this is the whole problem. Certainly the staff is not doing as good as they need to do in many areas, but some of the staff flaws can be covered by a really strong brand and national image and Florida doesn't have that with current players.
