Will Harris is letting people tackle him and Chatman has a loud voice. Tyler the intern learned a lot in not only his year under Hockey who is pursuing his dream to move out of strength and conditioning and into Xs and Os but also his month with Fitz who is a super duper guy who we should be grateful we only had for a month because tis better to have loved and lost than never loved at all. Callaway could easily be the next Austin Armstrong. We're looking good.

Callaway could easily be the next Austin Armstrong. We're looking good. At least someone is getting tackled, and that is improvement right there. Most likely this is due to the powerful impression Fitz left on this program after 5 solid weeks of dedication. We should make "Fitz" patches for our jerseys this season and dedicate each of our 3 wins to his spirit. |

...and make sure we don't schedule Boston College anytime in the foreseeable future. Can you imagine how good they will be after a whole offseason with Fitz.

So many Fitz stories from the greatest month in the history of S&C coaching, sure it was short but it was wonderful, Watson only gained 5-7 lbs., Graham Mertz was mentoring DJ Lagway on how to lift in the way that makes you the most accurate in the 5-15 yards of air time passes. Montrell Johnson was there, blocking people, dude loves to block, he does it whenever he can, on or off the field. The siren song of Bill O'Brien and his great record of success at each of his last couple stops was just too hard to turn down. The day that story came out that he was leaving will live in infamy in Gator History. Don't be surprised if 5-10 years from now we get a "the day the music died" style song about it. We still love you Fitzy, thank you for your time here and loyalty to the program. Also fuck you Etienne who came here and stayed despite not being a starter and Princely who stuck out 2 years under doppelgänger DCs who had never coached at the Power 5 level, you could learn a lot about loyalty (and love) from Fitzy the Gator.

www.on3.com/teams/florida-gators/news/lj-mcray-will-be-a-tremendous-player-per-gators-ron-roberts/This genius piece may require a subscription so here's the cliffs: "After months of pursuing five-star LJ McCray, a top-10 overall prospect, Ron Roberts is now one of his coaches. Of course, Roberts isn’t working with McCray at the school he recruited him to. Roberts was part of Auburn’s efforts to flip McCray from Florida in the 2024 cycle. He committed to the Gators on Oct. 21 but made a late visit to the Plains in December to give the Tigers one last look. McCray then delayed his announcement on signing day as Auburn made a final push. Billy Napier’s press conference was postponed an hour, and the UF staff worked the phones and eventually signed McCray." So, for those keeping score at home, 1) we lost 4 of our top 6 commits to flips prior to NSD on 12/20 2) The two that stayed got pushes from Auburn and Texas A&M so they failed to flip those kids 3) We subsequently hired Texas A&M assistant AD as "Chief of Staff" (real title by the way) and Auburn's de facto fired DC So, rather than target the guys who successfully flipped our blue chip kids we went and hired the 2 guys that didn't because they clearly suck at their job. The old "if you can beat them, pay them to join you" approach. It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for him.

Two questions:
1) Does he have a dip in?
2) How much are we paying this kid?
This is preposterous. I had not actually seen him, seems like a nice enough guy who would make a great wingman hit the bars with when you were 25.

Having seen this, it seems there are no seams.

Pretty disappointed those links contained so many words and so few images. I was looking for some flow charts to show the outflow and inflow, if any, of the coaches and players. You know, like a process flow chart, a programming flow, hey maybe a Sankey chart! That would be cool. But nooooo.... We just get words. I've gotten so dumb watching Gator FB the last couple of years, I have trouble reading. I like charts tho!

Check this out. My source left a recording device at CWT's poker game the other night, and here is the transcript of the recording:
Random Dude: "Yo, Billae Boiye. Man, what the hell ya'll doin' up that fancy sports complex ya got? Things seem to be crazy AF!! They really still payin' you?"
Napier: "Yeah, man. It's fuckin' nuts. At this point I am just makin' shit up and everything I do they just lap up like a dog on shit. I honestly don't know what else I can do to rock the boat."
Other Random Dude: "Is it true you hired a head coach of the defense to oversee your DC, promoted a co-OC, and are still calling all of the offensive plays and overseeing the offensive scheme? Man, that takes some serious balls.
Napier: Yeah, and get this... I also told the fans and media right to their face that I was going to address the special teams situation. And did you see what I did? I brought on another off-field analyst! Never laughed so hard in all my life when they had to announce that. And nobody cared! But that's nothing compared to what I am about to unleash this week. I just promoted our intern, Tyler, to strength and conditioning director or manager, coach -- hell, I can't remember what titles are left. Anyway, he is the guy we are saying is running that department. I'm going to have him talk to the media. Dude has tattoos down his arms, dips like a maniac, and has never spoken in public ever. He will be completely out of his element and will in no way look like he belongs in that position.
Random Dude #1: But, he isn't required to meet with the press, is he?
Napier: "Shit no, but guess what he is about to do? Meet with the press because fuck it. Seven million dollars, bro! Who wants to go to the strip club?"

It was seamlessly seamless whereas it had had no seams. |

He said we were going to lift heavy weights. And he loves numbers. Good enough for me

I hate to contradict the new guy, but it seem to me there are some pants on the defensive side of the ball that are in danger of bursting at the seams.  |

Highlight of Spring Practice (other than that picture and Tyler the Tattooed Intern's Press Conference): x.com/camparker25/status/1765866474160209924?s=20Don't know how to imbed. A picture of Austin Armstrong doing anything and one of Russ Callaway talking to people would make a good complete collage for: Tell me you don't want to hire your interim replacement without saying you don't want to hire your interim replacement |

He said we were going to lift heavy weights. And he loves numbers. Good enough for me Did somebody say Heavyweights? Greatest movie of all-time and what motivated Tattooed Tyler to become a strength intern turned coach. Specifically this scene which closely mirrors the Spring Practice weigh-ins: |

I think Austin wears the visor because he likes to dress up as Spurrier for Halloween. |

Kudos to Tyler and the Perkins System |
