"We’re fortunate to be at the University of Florida and are able to attract the very best in the country."
But unfortunately, just like HS recruits, we attract them but then can't keep them.

Don’t worry. They’re going to regroup and evaluate the situation. No big deal.

This is really bad news. S&C coach is extremely important job and we have been lacking since RDB took over. Now what?? I can't imagine anyone of any quality and experience is available. And why the f did this guy bolt so soon??
Maybe we promote someone associated with our golf team. They seem to have had a good year.

This is just where we are as a program right now. He’ll regret leaving once he sees RDB’s plan come to fruition. We’ll replace him with a true Gator with higher character that wants to do things the right way, evaluate the process, and whereas. Beat it, nerd.

why the f did this guy bolt so soon?? Pretty simple really... Bill O'Brien just got the HC job at BC and Fitzgerald had previously worked for O'Brien in the same roll when O'Brien was HC at Penn State and went with him to the NFL when O'Brien got the Houston Texans job. BC - Director of Strength and Conditioning, full authority. UF - Coordinator of Repetitive Motions while holding Heavy Things and Jogging Analyst, Predecessor still on Staff. |

"We have a ton of respect for Fitz and are thankful for what he did for our team. We also have a great group of strength assistants and sports science staff that I have a lot confidence in. We’ll regroup and we’ll evaluate the situation and make another great decision for our team. We’re fortunate to be at the University of Florida and are able to attract the very best in the country.”
I love it when a plan comes together. So many opportunities to evaluate and regroup.

What could he have done for the program in that span of time? I’d really like to know whereas he was there for a cup of coffee. That line of the article literally triggered my fight or flight instinct.

That line of the article literally triggered my fight or flight instinct. I think when you look at - there's a sense of we have been there now for 5 weeks and things are, now we to a degree feel like we have a handle on having a full cycle - and he's done it before. He's been around good coaching. He knows what it is like to compete and has high character, does it the right way, trully what we want to do here and it's phase 2, right? Phase 1 was a bit of in a way we were getting things in place to a degree. so now we can focus on what needs to happen in the process to evaluate further how this is going to function in a sense with the players and staff we feel good about the core group. |

I just re-read that quote again, he has out together a great group of strength assistants AND sports science staff. So, we've got that going for us, which is nice.
We're literally probably going to go at least 2-3 weeks without a S&C coach. Party time for big Des.

We're literally probably going to go at least 2-3 weeks without a S&C coach. Party time for big Des. At least we're not in the middle of the most important stretch for strength and conditioning development of the year. If there is a positive to take away from a non-bowl season, it is that you get an extra couple of months to get a head start on a new developmental plan to get in shape for the next season. Ideally, you have a strength and conditioning coach at the beginning of that plan and he/she stays on staff to see that plan through to the end. But hey, we are progressive in our approach, so I am sure we have tested the wait 5 weeks, go for 5 weeks, wait another 5 weeks evaluation plan. |

He talks too much with his hands at press conference, and somehow even his hand motions are nonsensical.
