'14 FL WR Ermon Lane

I'm not referring to NFL. Otherwise the Tebow discussion would take off. The Ponder years at FSU were vastly inferior talent wise to Florida and you had a top 3 coach.

With your current coach they are 2-1 against you and the coaching and talent gap are not going in your favor.

I am discussing the future and you throw out the past. My points are as follows:

They have no problem recruiting QB's and have a much better track record than Florida.

They are widening the gap in reference to players and coaching.

They will dominate you unless your administration makes a competent hire to replace Muschamp.

You disagree?

disagree. vastly inferior? They avg a top 8 class during Meyer yrs. Take a look at FSU NFL guys that played during that time. Meyer last yr and WM first UF had 5 guys drafted or make rosters. Those yrs were about coachig not better/lack of talent. Jimbo is 2-1 but in '12 Fsu had more talent at skill positions, 1st round QB, depth and home field but a healthy UF still worked them. Hell even this yr with no playmakers no depth a 4th spring QB Uf made it a game for a half. That gap you speak of has taken hits bc of key guys moving on. We'll see what happens.

Vastly was a poor word to use. The draft situation at times is overrated when there is a lack of balance from upper and lower classmen. The coaching gap is huge right now. The talent gap is only close on defense. Your coach is not attracting any difference makers on offense.

One thing is for sure. If you get the right coach it will make it all better and quick. Right now FSU has no weakness. I don't see you guys beating them for the foreseeable future. That of course could change in roughly 3 years if you hire the correct coach.
