It’s normal in the sunbelt apparently. Not in power 5 footballDo I understand correctly he's letting an analyst and grad assistant handle STs coordination? Would that be normal or ???
Competitive in a loss against one of the worst teams in the country. Yeah, that's what we're paying 7 mil a year for.“Ultimately our job is to develop football players and field a team that can be competitive and be in contention, and we certainly were competitive today."
This is a perfect example of why he cannot be the head coach of the Florida gators. We didn’t ask him to be competitive, we asked him to win games.

Where"s he going to go? There ain't going to be anyone knocking down the door for a QB that is horribly inaccurate downfield beyond 7 yards.Wonder if Mertz will even stick around next year?
Everyone wants a Mr Check Down in the QB room. Unfortunately if he was in an attacking offense, he likely has a better nickname. It's not really mertz, it's the dumbass with the headset.Where"s he going to go? There ain't going to be anyone knocking down the door for a QB that is horribly inaccurate downfield beyond 7 yards.
Watching the lsu alabama game? LSU just scored on a long pass play. Saban’s disgusted. Billy would smile and mumble something in his mic.
You’re being generous sir . The deaf coach in Van Wilder is a better comparisonBilly’s coaching style doesn’t remind me of SOS, Meyer, Graves, or Pell. Sadly, this coach is what comes to mind…

…and we could have used Gus today!
I am not sure Billy is quite as good as Saban.Watching the lsu alabama game? LSU just scored on a long pass play. Saban’s disgusted. Billy would smile and mumble something in his mic.
Good post. Truth. His entire post game crystallized his losing is okay personality. He talked about those guys in the locker room, like they are all buddies.Well he’s not going to get fired after year 2. I think Law might be dead on. Next years Georgia game could be the finale unless drastic changes are seen.
I might not know much but I know this…..after coaching high school and AAU basketball for nearly 30 years….I know kids respond to tough coaches…..they thrive on that discipline…..and they brag how tough their coaches were for the rest of their lives. If you are going to be a fatherly figure who’s “building young men” it still has to be within a system of strong accountability with absolute consequences.
They don’t always need a hug.
I like Billy but you simply cannot accept mediocrity. You don’t have to be Bobby Knight but you cannot even hint that losing is acceptable.
I hope Billy figures it out…..cleans up the staff, holds the class together and further develops the culture to include an obsession for winning. As Pat Riley once said….’There is winning and there is misery. Nothing in between”.
Did they win or the lose the game?Bama scored 24 against this same defense.
