You’d think he’d know having spent time at Bama but it seems exactly as you’re saying. How many of his staff came from ULL?Reading the gators comments are exactly why I didn’t want to hire a G5 to P5 first time HC like Napier.
I don’t care how good they are. There is a major adjustment period to understanding how big schools operate but also in moving past your arrogance when it’s comes to exactly how much a difference your coaching and development will make when you are lining up 3* vs 5*.
Because the kids at the top schools are getting really good coaching, with really good scheme and good development as well.
Brian Kelly just left ND becuase even signing top 15 classes was not enough becuase he couldn’t get the highest caliber players to ND.
Those kids at ND were well coached and well developed and it wasn’t enough.
With that being said though!
I hope the Gators sign bill to a 100 year extension.
He got lucky with Raymond but beyond that, he doesn’t seem to have the ability to hire close to the level of coaches they’re talking about competing against. That takes time unless he’s a savant who can identify the best up and comers and catch lightning in a bottle throughout his staff.
On the recruiting side, I don’t see it and as it relates to him, he’s not a better X’s and O’s guy than Mullet so I’m not seeing championships or getting in to a 4 team CFP.
