I think the Lagway situation will tell us how serious this new coach is...

How this Lagway situation is handled might show us how serious this new coach is.

With Lagways tape over 2 years showing he is literally about the worst interception machine in all of FBS football since becoming our starter any NIL that isn't true NIL tied to businesses needs to be cut. Anything coming from things like Victorious and tied to the boosters/schools themselves (business NIL dictated by the schools desire basically) need to be cut off as it's getting hardly any return. If he wants to stay at a vastly reduced NIL and compete then so be it. If he doesn't he can hit the road and try and show he isn't what everyone has seen with their own eyes. My guess if he ends up at a power 4 school he will probably have Nico like results when he left TN.

If the new coach doesn't get a lot of that NIL redistributed for proper returns then he isn't serious and is just kissing Lagways butt to not rock the boat.

Cade Bell had a freshman QB that looked pretty good that may be convinced to be a Gator

Yep that QB does look pretty good for a freshman.

Hopefully he can teach him...he was very highly rated for a reason, but had terrible coaching. Give him a coach that can show him how to read defenses, he will do better.

I trust the staff to play the best players.

They have no allegiance to Lagway and I gotta believe the new OC is not gonna have a QB out there that misses open targets consistently

Spring will tell. Lagway has the right to compete for the job but isn’t owed anything

My fear is we keep paying Lagway way too much and don't get a good QB that could take over and play good if needed. The new recruit will need a year on the bench, our backup might not be good SEC starting material and Lagway may never get good at reading a defense. Lagway doesn't have much portal leverage after how he has played. The coach needs to treat the situation as it is.
