Stan Drayton confirmed as RB coach (merged)

mattvols · 01-07-2008, 01:32 PM

According to Volquest Stan Dayton, Runningbacks coach for Florida, is a candidate for the job. Anyone know anything about him? I hope he is one heck of a coach because if we are going to take a Gator he better be good. Maybe though (fingers-crossed) he will be bring the spread or a variation of it with him from Florida if we get him.

Candidate for what job?

I think he'd be considered for the running backs coach, but not OC.

Sounds like he might be pretty good, and a good recruiter.

Good recruiter, don't know how well he coaches, though.

mitzustu · 01-07-2008, 01:43 PM

can't argue with him being a good recruiter though

Being overshadowed by Urban is his biggest problem. Seems like a solid coach.

I doubt that it's his problem that UF chooses to not run the ball with a true RB. Also, I don't think he's a candidate for OC, rather for RB coach.

he coached Westbrook and Norwood so he could possibly be a good coach as well

Gotta be better than that dope Roper.....

yeah it's for RB's coach not OC

RichCity VOL · 01-07-2008, 01:49 PM

I can't see him being named OC. According to his bio he has never been a OC. A good recruiter but didnt we already have that in house. Inside Florida Football @ Gatorzone.com

I'd say it's a lot easier to be a good recruiter at Florida than at Tennessee. Most of their recruits are instate....they have won a NC this decade....they're media darlings...they use an offense that attracts playmakers. Did I leave anything out?
