Great thing..I wonder however if Edwards and Henderson feel the same...

Unless he promised them he was going nowhere I really don't care with what these recruits pull on schools in recent years. I do have a problem with the coaches that do that knowing full well they are about to leave however.

DB-U is not affected much by assistant coaching changes. Gray was only here for 1 year. UF was DB-U long before Gray arrived, and that won't change with his departure. Those guys move around quite a lot. As to the new recruits, if Gray got a nice fat raise, then the whole Gator team should be happy for him, because that's the goal of most all of them, to eventually get a real nice NFL paycheck.

The players/recruits realize that most of the coaches have coached more than one position over their coaching careers. Somewhat like an A-Team, each one can do more than just one job. Plus, hiring a top quality replacement for him a DB-U should not be difficult to do. Mc already has a S.FL recruiter in his new hire, so that part is not going to be a problem.

Welcome to the new guy that's just arriving, and AMF to the one-year guy that's departing...

That is a pretty shitty thing to do, if he didn't tell them prior to NSD.

So, you know the date when the Redskin's offer came to him?
Last night? - Last week? Last month? Last year?

IF do-do didn't stink, then it would smell good...

Since we've already hired a new db coach. I would say the offer just didn't happen.

Why do u call urself DB U? I know u have had some good d backs but its not been substantial better than other schools has it? Would like to see a comparison of fsu and UF over the last 10 years.... Not saying ur wrong, i jus have never looked at the gators as DB U

Its all part if the game/business. It happens everywhere. U can nvr expect a coach to be fully truthful no matter what school they are at.

I agree with u that i dont like it at all.

The Redskins was a done deal a month ago. NBD

And Gray helped Florida sign 5 DB's in the Class of 2017, though he was not the primary recruiter for any of those prospects. (therefore him lying to any of them is highly doubtful)

Also, Bell is a rock solid hire. I doubt that any of our current roster DB's or the new recruits will miss Gray, with coach Bell now in that position. Everyone is free to go ask them though...
