UF Coaching Thread: Russ Callaway promoted to Co-OC

[Durty South Swamp]

Hocke is a ULL guy so this makes sense. Wonder if Napier is gonna Mullen this and keep his buddies around

I think we all know the answer to that.

If Donkey won’t regularly post, I’ll bring gems like this over from Twitter. You’re welcome.

And almost no turnovers by the defensive backfield.

Almost no turnovers by the entire defense, period. WORST GATOR DEFENSE OF ALL FRIGGIN TIME!

 

[Silverback Gator]

Part of me thinks they asked out of their contracts. They'll have jobs by tomorrow if they want them.

Interesting.

Yeah, doubt AA has a tree.

Anyone getting excited about this just needs to remember that Gomer Pyle will still be doing the new hirings....

My dog's name is Gomer Pyle. Please find a new nickname for Karl.

We also only had like 20 sacks on the year.

These arrogant bums have eyes to watch people like Mullen implode and then they come in and go over the same cliff.

Are all these jagoffs like this? JFC….

Shouldn't we wait until after ESD to fire assistants?

Yes we should but this isn’t surprising. Let’s be honest, strategy, timing, game planning and program management don’t seem to be Billy’s strong suit. This is similar to his flea flicker play call-poorly timed and destined to have a negative effect on momentum, in this case, any recruiting momentum we may have remaining.

Sling blade's balls may have dropped today. Good move, both those coaches sucked ass here. Now fire both oline coaches, strength coach and the special teams guy at a minimum.

Doesn‘t make a bit of difference. Billy is the problem. He can fire and replace all the coaches he wants but until he goes, ultimately nothing will change.

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

If the head coach feels the need to replace a big chunk of the staff it confirms what some of us have known: the head coach, not the assistants, is the problem.

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

Would any of Saban’s players or commitments refer to him as ”Sabe”?

Sun Belt Billy seems like he’s trying to be buddies with these kids rather than their HC. To me, that’s part of the problem and an indictment of the culture Billy is creating.

Take a breath, GIG. We don’t want you to keel over.

 

[5-Star Finger]

I’m not certain we are done firing assistants.

A new CEO moves into her office and finds three envelopes in her desk from the prior CEO labeled crisis 1, crisis 2, and crisis 3 respectively. There is a note that indicates she should use these only in the event of a crisis - opening one envelope at a time.

After a few months the new CEO is facing a crisis, so she opens to first envelope. The letter inside says simply “blame your predecessor". So she crafts a communication that says that the crisis is the result of bad decisions made before she took over and that she is committed to sorting out the mess she has inherited.

Things settle down.

Some time later, another crisis emerges, so she opens the second letter. This letter says “restructure the organization”. So the chief executive gets the leadership team together and redesigns the organization’s structure and reassigns roles and responsibilities. She finds scapegoats for the company's poor performance that can be publicly fired.

The restructure is executed and with time, the crisis abates.

Since neither the blame tactic, nor the restructure addressed the real issues, inevitably another crisis occurs. The Chief Executive thinks “Well, the last two letters seemed to work out ok, so perhaps the third letter will be a more permanent solution.”

So she opens the third envelope and reads “write three letters.”

Oh my, Ox "the Karl apologist" is back. Expect mind camp reservations to open up soon.

Next season the third quarter song should be changed to "Free Fallin'".

Other than making a fool of himself I’m not sure Billy has a strong suit . He’s giving Muschump a run for his money on who is the dumbest bastard to ever step foot on the BHG sideline.

Let's see if Napier gets rid of some of his ULL buddies.

Or just nothing at all(outside of WATB). I’d rather not devote the time to looking it up, but I’d love to know what are home record is since we started doing that, beginning Lsu ‘17. My guess is just over .500, and probably under against P5. We are starting to let A&M and VTech off the hook for most embarrassing tradition in cfb.

The fact that Sale, Stapleton, Couch and Hocke weren’t some of the first names mentioned, but rather two guys that don’t have the personal history and again, deserving or not, firings that were going to upset the applecart, really says it all. I’ve said this since week 1 of this year. He is no different than Mullen, JM or WM. Could not possibly care any less about the overall good of the program or the fans.
