For those of you hoping that Grantham was leaving for Cincy,

Looks like he is staying at UF.

Gator coaching staff stacked.
Rest of SEC fricked.
The rebuild to bring the Gators back to championship level continues. Watch out mutts, we coming.

Stayed because he likes working with Mullen - I really don't believe that, but I'm sure he likes working with the players.

Biggest reason he is staying is for his son to be at a consistent high school, in Florida, where he can pursue baseball. That's a tougher sell for a baseball prospect in Ohio and hard to move his family for a marginal gain.

What makes you not believe that he doesn't like working with Mullen?

Grantham coaches for that moniker. He will sacrifice your future so that his today will earn him as much money as possible.

He doesn't have a long game. Pay me now is his MO.

Just saying... you might grow to hate that top 10 DC thing because it is built artificially.

They argued quite a bit this year. Maybe it's a tough love type thing.

I mean, he did have Florida force more turnovers than any other SEC team last year and improved Florida's defense 40 spots in overall.

I don't think that's bad.

Florida gave up 400 yards to Kentucky. How often does that happen.

UF also gave up 400 yards to UGA and Mizzou.

That isn't the defense costing UF wins?

Hope he's a Gator for a long time but unfortunately it's not his MO.His agent will be doing the exact same thing this time next year.

Because no DC has ever enjoyed working for Mullen

Grantham seems to realize that crap doesn't matter as much, as long as he's allowed to do his job

UK game missing three key defenders on a team with limited depth.

Georgia defense was fine till we lost Henderson. Had a true fresh corner in Dean and a two star corner on the other side. Got shredded. His defense relies on corners being able to cover. Our back ups sucked. Simple as that.

Luckily we have Steele and Elam coming in. As well as the two original starters back healthy. I doubt we allow 400 yards more than once next season. Our defense has its depth issues fixed finally.

What a great response, simply precious. Never mind Polite, Joseph and Gardner are history, with UGA's O-line we might run for 400 yrs against 3rd and Grantham. Simply beautiful, keep the dream alive gators.

Yep. Yet still have two pass rushers far better than anyone on your line. So not worried. Joesph was not a great run stopped nor was Polite...so not sure how that Improves your run attack.

We added four top 150 linebackers/DE and two top 100 corners.

We will be fine. Just worry about your team and figuring out who your DC is.

Nothing salty about it, you are replacing your entire O-line plus all of your elite talent on D is history. This is where UGA's elite recruiting compared to 3 star U starts to come into play, the talent gap is only widening between the 2 programs.

Yea a HC that is 0-9 vs Kirby as a DC and head man plus he's 25 games under .500 as a coach, what a fricking joke that cat is.

You guys are right. We will be lucky to score any points and probably won’t stop anyone.

If Georgia doesn’t win by 50 and give Florida their 1st shutout in a decade I’d be pissed as a Georgia fan.
