ESPN put out a pre-season 2024, Top 25. After not finding the Gators on the list I went to the notes at the bottom of the list....
Dropped out: Washington (No. 11), SMU (No. 24), Iowa (No. 25)
Just missed: USC, Washington, SMU, Iowa, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Boise State, Air Force, Liberty
Nope, not there either.

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’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.

I think the things that screams the loudest to me, shouting RDB is not the guy, is the silence coming from SOS. No defense of the plan, no defense of the process, no praise of the analytics, no defense of the man himself, just silence.

Your counting us out in the bowl game pretty quick. I think we have a chance against those little homeless mix-breeds if we can just manage to get ourselves lined up for the Puppy Bowl.

Are you asking where is the bar if I get to set it, or where do I think the bar is that SS cowbell has set?
For me, year 3 after Mulllen ..... 8-4, maybe 7-5 if you were really, really competitive in a few loses, but none of the loses can be to teams we are better than.
For SS cowbell ..... 6-6, just make a bowl game, any bowl game.

Don't forget that in a pinch RDB has Montrell Johnson in the wildcat ready and waiting to go. Yes, finally a complete back who can run, block, pass, and catch snaps through the legs of a QB. The defense won't know what we're going to do. and don't forget, he has SunBelt experience!

So, I am not putting any research into who our on field coaches are, but does anyone know if Mark Hocke is one of them? I understand he is really wanting to learn how to do this coaching thing, so it would make sense for him to be out there. Oddly, when I go to the official website of the athletic department, I get a 404 Page Not Found error when I try to look up the football coaching staff. Really don't need the "404 Page Not Found" part, all it needs to say is ERROR.

Yeah, but not only are we going to hire the new guy, but we are going to keep the old guy as well and form a "Special Teams Department". Not sure I can contain my excitement.
"A former placekicker, who played at USC under head coaches Pete Carroll and Lane Kiffin in 2009 and 2010, respectively, Houston will work with the Gators’ special teams units as an analyst, meaning his hiring will not require a space on the team's on-field staff.
Florida special teams analyst Chris Couch, who has been on staff the last two seasons, will also remain with the program and work alongside Houston. Their department will handle special teams and situational football."

If I were the President I would force Scotty to make the offer.
Uh, hello Nick, um, my boss was wondering if you would have any interest in having my job? Me, um, yeah, I am the AD here at Florida, yeah that Scott Stricklin. Uh, ok, sure sleep on it if you want, uh what was that? Oh yeah, I would be happy to call back on Monday, uh yes 10:00 am is fine. Talk to you then. Goodbye.
10, 9 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1......AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Oh, its a fact alright, we are killing it in the Walk On market! This TE is all the way from Cali-forn-aye, and he's coming all this way because he wants to, not just because of some relative before him!

Titus Bullard - 6'2" 205 lbs Defensive End
Bullard will join the Gators as a preferred walk-on, electing to align with his father's alma mater over FBS offers from Liberty, Toledo, Buffalo and Georgia Southern.
We probably had to come with our "A" game to get him off that Georgia Southern offer.
Underlines pretty much say it all for me. He may become something in time, but program savior, really?

Supposedly he prefers the NFL to college, it's worth a phone call that will never happen. We could offer him something like Executive Associate Offensive General Manager & Keeper of the Special Teams Secret Word of the week. That’d do the trick! Added a little extra incentive for you.

Is anyone else worried that Real Deal Bill is plodding along, straight ahead, non-wavering, having sold Stricklin on the fact that he knows the secret Saban formula, all at the same time Saban woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and said, well it was a good run while it lasted, but my shit don't work anymore and I'm way to old to change so, I think I'll just go fishing.

This has to be my favorite.....
“Billy is almost maniacal in the way he evaluates things. And so, when fans get frustrated with an area and they want to comment and express their opinion, they don’t ever need to be concerned, ‘Does Billy realize this is a problem?’ Because he’s probably realized it’s a problem before it showed up out there on the field.”
THEN WHY IN THE HELL DID IT SHOW UP ON THE FIELD? After you identify a problem aren't you supposed to fix it? Is that not what coaching is about? Did our AD really just say our HC realizes problems before they make it to game film, but doesn't get a fix in place before the mistakes make it to game film? Really, for real? Did I read that right?
God help Gator football.

If you want or need a scholarship, and or position coach in order to stay committed, you are not a true Gator. Get lost, bum. Fixed it for you...........

For God's sake man, is there no limits on the depth of our losing recruits? PWO's do count as recruits right? linkThis is the kid that broke the news on RBD not planning on making any changes to special teams.

ESPN also reporting the same.
Yeah, we get Kiffin with a chip on his shoulder! Kiffin in FL with a bone to pick with Bama for not even giving him a look could be fun. I'm in, can we start now?
