Everything you want in an NFL tackle.
He had some good games at Florida, and some bad games.
I think you certainly have to factor in our piss poor offensive coaching when evaluating him though.
He made a good decision.
I agree it was a good decision, and while he did have some solid games -- I feel like his bad games were just horrendously bad. I brought up Mizzou a few posts ago and he got destroyed on two plays -- not just beaten, absolutely destroyed.
He made the right decision for sure -- if you can get first round, try for it.
We had four offensive linemen drafted, so our crappy offense can't be an excuse (this is what someone else told me to some degree), but I think our stats would have been way worse if not for Driskel/Harris getting the ball out of the backfield on quickfire drops.
Especially in the Kentucky game.
I just never remember thinking our Oline was fantastic, decent, maybe even a little above average on some drives, but never fantastic.

Max Garcia was solid. Chaz Green was solid.
DJ Humphries was up and down, and everyone does site the mizzou game as his biggest failure of his career, which it was.
Trenton Brown was also solid, and Trip Thurman was a decent contributor.
The issue was execution. That was the issue with the offense. The execution was piss poor. On every play, at least one person did something wrong, and for an offense to be good, that can't happen.
Inconsistency plagued the program on offense in 2013 and 2014. When that happens to different players over different years with different OC's, at the end of the day, you have to blame the head coach.

One thing to evaluate is INJURIES...we had way too many of them on the OL to pass much judgment and in 2013 especially.
None of us know the full extent of what players had nagging injuries they played with. OL is a position where injuries are common....300 lb+ dudes falling on each other. I honestly think our offenses those two years were never coached up like their counterparts on defense....our defenses were hungry and played like it...but Muschamp was the HC and responsible in the end.

Totally agree -- but the OCs were definitely something that just did unspeakable damage. I'm starting to get faith back with Mac, though.
Can't wait.

I have 0 faith.
Prove it on the field, then I will believe.

I actually got my hopes up with Muschamp in the final year when he said the offense was changing (it did, admittedly, but not in the way I thought). Now, at least we have someone who has experience running a program.
Just hope he does well.

I do think there will be a difference on offense, more screens (something we never exploited much at all and the best way to slow down a defense's pass rush), more quick passes and draw plays to RBs and more TEs involved who will be a vast upgrade in pass catching talent.
Of course, I do have some reservations and the OL is the key...quick passes w/o blocking is a sure fire way to thrower quicker picks. I think by 4th-5th game our r/s and true frosh OL will be much better.

The idea that UF didn't run screens under Muschamp is false. UF TRIED to run them often, they just failed.
Because the biggest issue under Muschamp for his entire tenure was offensive execution.
The play calling would probably have looked a lot better if everyone was doing their job.
