He should fit in better than Muschamp. If he can recruit well against UM and FSU he may do well.


The problem with that is Taggert and Richt are excellent recruiters, and FSU and UM both have recruiting headspace in Florida.

He might make it work (hire crackerjack recruiters for his staff), but the teams Florida considers its real rivals: FSU, LSU, Alabama, Georgia all have superb recruiting staffs (LSU ought to have an asterisk, but eventually someone will replace "Big O").

Who knows maybe he does have a coaching edge against some of those teams, but definitely not against Alabama (and probably Georgia - Kirby has the smarts, but I dunno still about him making it hit the road).

So we'll see. His offense is hard to stop if he has the right kind of qb though.

If we're sitting here in February and he hasn't signed a top 10 class or something very close to it there will be a lot of disappointed Gator fans. A lot of highly rated guys looking at UF, if he can't close enough to get us to at somewhere around the top 10, it will be a cause for concern.
