So wouldn't the same thing apply to Florida who this year has far less talent and far less experience on the OL than we so?
I said in a previous post this week that I'n not worried about our players. I'm more concerned about our coaches and that's true. I think they'll do okay. We'll see. I think there's three important things that we have to consider, talent, coaching, and culture, but the most important of these is culture. My view right now is we are significantly improved in all three of these areas this year compared to the prior two. Are we improved enough? Again, we'll see. I like our coaches okay. I like Ansley the best but he's a rookie DC. I like YAC and Rumph. They seem okay. I'm not a big Chaney fan but I think he's okay. He's a journeyman. He's got a lot of experience. I don't think we ever have to worry about him being hired away from us, not with what we're paying him. I think he's a huge upgrade over Helton in more ways than one. The rest, I think they're okay too. The most valuable coach we have could be Nieds, primarily because he seems to be our best recruiter. All of our coaches know how to teach football. What makes them effective teachers is how well they can connect with the guys they're teaching, hence why Pruitt has focused heavily this offseason on the staffs relationships with their players, including and especially his. I think that's going to pay outsized dividends this year. We'll see. jmo.
