That is true, but this isn't a rebuild of massive extent. Isn't like Florida was a 4 win team for five years. We won the East twice, and have a year were we literally have 34 players out from suspension or injury.
WHile he did take over for Bell, so it would be different installing a new system. It shouldn't be that hard overall. Florida has a ton of high school talent who run similar spread styles, and his system is pretty simple to install. Just about getting the proper athletes in. QB wise he may just go Toney. He played QB in high school, so he knows the basics at least. Won't be elite, but could function a offense better than what we have now I think
MIZZOU blew Florida away big time! Coach had never been able to compete in the SEC and was getting killed and finally started to turn the team around. Never been a head coach in college at any level and just not been known by any one and people thought he was going to get fired this year. That include MIZZOU fans too. I had believe he was the right coach for MIZZOU and was going to need to start the program over.

Dude we had a back up coach, 31 players out, and kids don't care. They at least showed some darn heart in South Carolina. Add in our team was very young to begin with.
This season is quite different with a healthy roster I'd assume. Remember we are missing at this point
Starting QB and one of the back ups
Both starting RB's, both very good RBs as well(Scarlett, Davis)
Two best receivers(missing 3 at one point)
2 starting offensive lineman
Best DE, strong DT, and a solid starting DE
LB I don't even know who's healthy besides Reese
CB's are good
Safety missing our best safety from day one
That is a lot of starters out, and the head coach got fired mid season which lead to a complete destruction.
UF needs a repair. Not a total rebuild though. Add in the recruiting class has only lost 1 kid so far, is still top ten. So he does have the advantage of not having a brutally bad transition class, at least for now.
Also let's point this out. Nuss may be the worst OC in CFB. No one has done less with more since he left Daddy Saban. A coach like Kelly is good enough to know how to win with what he has. I expect 8-10 wins first year including bowl.
Second year, we should see a more complete team like most coaches do(Meyer, Saban, Smart, Dabo, FIsher, etc). This isn't a four year rebuild.
