It seems like his recruiting is mostly what folks are coveting and paying him to do. He went to FSU, coached at HS in Miami and then at FSU and Miami. My guess is Smart wants Cheney to be the OC calling plays with his experience and Coley to be the ace recruiter but had to pay him and give him title to keep him around. Makes sense.

I'm back wanting Cheney in Knoxville as OC. Let Smart promote the recruiter ace who's not as good calling plays. I like that outcome. Or even better, Smart goes and gets an outsider to be OC and Coley gets pissed and leaves. Yes, lets do that instead!

He is basically in the same position Fulmer had with Rodney Garner..tough place to be, but it isn't going to be near as big a deal for Kirby to lose Coley, as it was when Fulmer lost Garner. If Fulmer could have somehow placated RG and kept him on staff for a couple more years, he may still be the head coach at UT.

Who Mullen? A coaching change right now would be devastating to Florida. Are you kidding? It would be awesome even if Mullen isn't the home run coach everyone thinks he is. But he is a good coach also, good for Florida, not for us. I would love for him to leave and go to the NFL and Florida have to scramble to hire someone. Would be outstanding.

Florida admin isn’t Tennessee, they wouldn’t have to scramble for a coach.

You don't think Florida can hire a great coach? Mullen just showed their wasn't a talent issue at Florida. Florida would be the top job open coming off winning season.

I think in February it would be tough yes, especially when they didn’t see it coming. But hey, there’s always Schiano or intern jones

If you think they would be desparate to the point of hiring those two you don't get it. Someone will jump their ship and take that Florida job. Zero question. You don't beg someone to take that job. You beg someone to not take it

I think it’s funny how everyone uses Doug Matthews, Houston Kress, the kid that washed Fulmer’s golf balls during the ‘98 championship season or fetched his Krispy Kreme doughnuts as factual reporters. I can fully believe that Pruitt is being slow played like a sucker probably due to his gruff interactions in the past at Alabama and Georgia. If he promotes someone on staff he’s going to look like an idiot because he’s kept the fan base and media at bay for what—to say “oh damn people I just decided Will Friend was the answer at OC.” Bullcrap. If he screws this up that’s not going to look good for him going forward. I’m not saying fire him, but it’s a big strike.

Matthews statement about it being 95% done is crap. He doesn’t know anything. I trust 24/7 and the Rivals guys. The hell with all the offensive style and if he and Pruitt will go golfing and hold hands. You hire a guy that can put up points and yards. I don’t blame Yurcich for going to Ohio State..anyone else with a brain would go to Ohio State. We are short on talent here...what OC wants to come to get fired after one year? You have a crap line with a few decent backs and receivers that can’t run by anyone. You are almost going to have to overpay. It’s easy when your Yurcich—your from there and Ohio State is loaded with talent. If I’m Pruitt and he can get an OC and the hold up is bringing another staffer you make the move. Why should anyone on the staff be untouchable?

It was the flow of the game. Had we been firing on all cylinders in the throw game and Jelly wasn’t manhandling their defense it might have been a good call. It wasn’t. Also, Dormady is not Ehlinger in the run game.

I think he’s untouchable on the offensive line. Moving him to TE coach or RB coach just to keep him on staff is a demotion. Bringing in Pittman would just be a slap in the face.

It just ain’t gonna happen. (For many reasons.)

Eh.

If he doesnt want to promote up, I dont know why it matters. Hes gonna make the same $.
