UF Coaching Thread: Russ Callaway promoted to Co-OC

[Swamp Donkey]

Is the ST analyst doing the counting?

He is counting how many times he's going back to the gravy and biscuits at Golden Corral.

Well, I think our offense was ok last season. There four games we scored less than 30 (Utah, Georgia, Kentucky, and FSU). If we had mediocre defense, we could've won a couple of more games (Ark, Mizz). Instead of hiring a decent OC, I think dumb play calling from BN was more problematic. instead of hiring a new OC, it'd better to have someone to stop BN calling dumb plays.

Every game against a top 50 defense we struggled to score two TDs.

Our offense is schiff and frankly totally wasting some pretty decent talent.

Defense is obviously far worse but that doesn't make offense "ok". 64th in scoring is never "ok".

Anyone know if Billy Latsko has any eligibility left?

I'd be tempted to be pretty excited, but would temper myself by waiting to see what the offense actually looks like. Tater has done absolutely nothing here or anytime in his career that indicates he's willing to change philosophies or give up command. So my gut would say the dude would be forced to run taters vanilla 1960s offense, just like petrino was forced to run Jimbo dipsht's.

This is a shocking take from you. I'm flabbergasted.

With the new clock rules, there's not enough time between plays to radio the in-booth game-changer to see if the dumb-ometer accepts the play call so sometimes he has to go with gut feel and animal instinct.

That someone could be the new OC.

The play clock didn’t change my guy.

Which part was surprising, or more specifically, unfactual?

You can admit your boy tater has been absolute trash from jump. It's not like refusing to admit it is keeping it a secret. We all have eyes.

 

[Double Gator Dad]

22nd in scoring offense. (UF 57th)
54th passing (UF 44th)
26th passing yd/completion (UF 102nd)
36th rushing (UF 77th)

Just think how much better UNLV would rank if they had played us during the season.

The only difference between you and I is that I still think he has a 10% chance to succeed, and you are at zero. Your problem is that you've painted yourself into a serious corner with that zero. You're going to poo-poo any even remotely good news because of that zero and your overwhelming desire to be proven right.

You also want Napier gone as soon as possible, so you'd prefer us to lose every single upcoming game until he's gone. You're actually rooting for an 0-8+ start next year. It's not like refusing to admit it is keeping it a secret. We all have eyes.

 

[Bait'n Gator]

According to the insiders on tos the UNLV guy isn't even on Napier's radar. Sucks if true but they've also said for certainty it isn't gonna be Willy Korn or Russ Calloway. So at least we've got that going for us.

Is this the "i know you are but what am I" game? I'm familiar. My 5 year old plays it sometimes.

You claiming anyone has painted themselves into a corner is about as rich as Jeff Bezos. You've slurped more tater cawk and trashed and ridiculed more posters that disagreed than anyone on this board.

You are correct about 1 thing tho. He's garbage and needs to be jettisoned to the moon asap. Fortunately for all of us that will happen only 4-5 games into next season when he's 1-4 and the team looks exactly the same as it has his entire tenure.

Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. Time will tell. In the meantime I'm going to be happy about any good news into the program, like getting one of the best HS QB's in America. You should try it.

I don't think they knew about the Tulane dude either.

Speculation is way more fun

 

[oxrageous]

There's been no evidence that the "insiders" know a damn thing.

 

[Kevlo911]

One more thing to note, the smoke about Will Harris was real and all the Twitter follows and stuff panned out. So hopefully it does with this guy.

Can't track uaa planes anymore so I'm not sure how the reddit dudes found that info

With Billy and Strichnine? Drunk on what? O’Doul’s and Twisted Tea? As for gambling, Strichnine has done enough of that with his UF hires for UAA to send arm guards to make sure he stays clear of the Strip.

Arm guards? Is Mertz with them and needs protection from Strip temptations?

Good idea - we need to take care of that guy so he can mentor Lagway...

No disagreement. I think Mertz was actually a bright spot and can impart a lot of the nuances of successful QB play. Lagway certainly has the physical part down. Don’t think he will be able to run as much and stay as healthy as we’ll need him to be. Something to look forward to.
