re: The biggest bowl win for each coach compared to total games coached.

Not as a head coach, he's not. Bama fans always say this about him and they are always wrong.

Just because he coached receivers at Bama in the past doesn't mean he can lead.

His leadership at ULL was based on gimmicks and BS that isn't going to fly at a big time program.

I don't care about his time as a position coach at Alabama. I don't even think I knew he was a positions coach at all until he was hired as a HC.

But he took over a ULL team that had a losing record and had them winning their conference in his 2nd year. And then sustained it for another 2 after that. I don't know what kind of gimmicks can bring that in.

He obviously knows how to win and do so consistently. It's just a matter of if he can get the program to where it needs to be.

His recruiting has improved every year he's been there. #19 class in 2022(loads of 3 stars, his inherited class), #13 in 2023, and #10 with 2 5 stars last year. However, his ranks are mostly lower because he's not getting full classes. I'm not sure on why.

He is bringing in some talent, just 5-6 less of them than other teams for some reason.

The overall rankings are comparable with how Florida was recruiting previously until you get to the Meyer era, however the average recruit ranking he has brought in over the past 2 years is noticeably higher.

The average recruit ranking is near the top5, so overall I think he has been improving the talent and strength of the program. His past 2 classes have only had a total of 10 3 stars, all the rest are 4 stars and a 5 star. The 2022 class he somewhat inherited has 11 3 stars in that class alone. 2021 also had 11 3 stars.

2020 Florida almost recruited to level of Napier, only bringing in 6 3 stars that year, but still their average was lower. But then going back before then, it gets worse with lots of 3 stars and lower average recruits.

So like I said, I think he's better than people give him credit for and he's actually improving Florida despite it's bad record of the past 2 years.
