It all went to hell when we hired Mushchamp and followed it with Butters.
I’m so sick of folks complaining about Meyer. He left a well stocked trophy case and a helluva roster for the next two fuchtards to destroy.
The run Meyer had was amazing and a great time to be a Gator fan, but don't kid yourself about the roster he left. The offensive side of the ball was horrendous. Meyers last few years of recruiting were fairly uneven and the NFL drafts of his last couple of classes bears this out.
2011 (after Meyer's last season): 4 Gators drafted; 1 first rounder, a 2nd, a 5th, and a 7th.
2012: 2 Gators drafted; a 4th and a 5th
2013: 8 Gators drafted; 2 1sts, a 2nd, a 3rd, a 4th, a 5th, and a 6th
2014: 4 Gators drafted; a 1st. a4th, a 5th and a 6th.
The 2013 draft reflected the cream of the 2010 class; #2 in the nation. The rest were all pretty forgettable, and were very unbalanced. Of the 18 players drafted over those four years, only 7 were on offense and none were QBs or WRs. The break down was 4 OLs (3 of whom were drafted in 2011- Pouncey #2, Gilbert, and Hurt; Halapio was drafted in 2014), 2 RBs (Rainey and Gillislee) , and one TE (Reed).
