Florida and Georgia were mediocre thenIt is not as bad as it seems. If butch can win 9 Pruitt can too. We are about two seasons from being tied from second or third in the east behind Ga and Fl. The players we recruited can do this.
Yes we will still trail the top two teams in the west. But beyond two years we start beating FL and putting pressure on UGA a And Bama.
We can compete and win aginst these teams. We did it before and can do it again.

Too many times, a Gator fan ends up posting a level headed and sensible post to counter an over-emotional OP. This is exactly right. Were we scared of Alabama before they hired Saban? Hell, no. We were 10-2 against them from 1995 to 2006. Things can change very quickly when a program with great resources makes the right hire.
You might not want to check the recruiting rankings as it relates to UF and UGA.

Florida got the absolute most out of their roster. One benefit of having a hfc who isn't learning otj.I’ll disagree with this post but it IS very discouraging when first year Florida coaches have success against us and make it to bowl games. I mean, Florida was a train wreck as well and they keep trucking along.
Yeah Florida is 7 points ahead in the 247 composite with 23 commits and we have 21. Not enough of a difference to make a difference. CJP will get enough talent here to win 8-9 games in short order if he can coach them up. We ain't NC contenders anytime soon but it might not be that long a road to the Outback Bowl and with a win there a 10 win season.
