[Bland757]

My dream staff...
Napier as HC
Belk as DC
Brian johnson back as OC
OL coach from Penn st or Baylor.
DL coach from Syracuse.
Crob as LB coach.
Bring back T. Rob as CB coach

If u don't know about the OL coach and DL coach look em up!!!!!!

Belk as DC

We’ve seen enough Belk around here…

 

[Nicktheslick]

What about Kevin Steele as DC?

 

[GatorTheo]

I wonder how Spurrier would be as OC? Yes, I know, it would never happen but I wonder if he could still scheme effectively?

Good recruiter and coach. But y'all know why Saban booted him, right?

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

If your dream staff starts with Napier as HC, you aren't dreaming big enough.

These guys have a damn idea that Napier is a sure fire Saban.

i am serious, if you didn’t know football and read TOS you would ask, “Is Napier the guy who coaches Alabama or is he the New England Patriots coach.”

its the damn oddest thing I have ever seen

Frankly I don't believe he could throw his visor far enough.....jim

Do they know he was never OC at Bama, but was OC at Clemson, and got fired for it?

Look, the guy is a great recruiter, but he's an unknown as a head coach at Florida. I just don't understand why you fire a guy like Mullen, and your only options for replacing him are a list of Plan B coaches, all of who are unknowns.

IMO that looks like the AD needs to be fired more than the HC did.

Ghost, if he screws this hire up he might be the next to go........jim

FWIW Napier was like 30 yrs old when he was Clemson’s OC. Pretty damn young. A lot can happen. To me Napier is very intriguing assuming a couple of other things happen.
Mullen is a good coach but things went south middle of last year and he doesn’t want to be here anymore. You can’t keep a coach that has lost interest and can’t stand the pressure. It is what it is. Unfortunately ties had to be cut.

I would take Napier over most of the other names I have heard. I might even prefer him over someone like Cristobal despite him being at a big power 5 school. I think Cristobal could end up about like Franklin at Penn State here with Georgia playing the role of Ohio State.

Cristobal is one of the worst names I’ve heard to honest. He’s from Miami and he’s a Miami Hurricane and he hates UF. He’s a very good recruiter but bad X’s and O’s I don’t think we will approach him and I don’t think he would come here anyways. Why would we want a coach that is a Hurricane and doesn’t like UF?

Vince Dooley was a War Eagle that became a UGA legend of a coach.

Pat Dye was UGA Bulldog player and was HC at Auburn(with an assistant position at Bama) and won the War Eagles 4 SEC titles.

David Cutcliffe was a Bama player, assistant at Rival Tennessee and later HC at rival Ole Miss but not a spectacular career as an SEC HC.

Bill Curry was a Ga Tech football player and HC at Bama. Nothing to brag about but he flipped sides when it came for a career.

Then there was Will Muschamp who went to one of UGA's biggest rival and their border companion SCar 😁

Some guy named Steve Spurrier who is the poster child of what is a Florida Gator and coached at divisional opponent SCar and led them to their greatest seasons.

Not saying I want Mario but I don't let where they played college ball bother me.

Mark Richt didn't mind calling plays as an OC at FSU to beat his former college team.

Did they hate the school they were coaching at? Cristobal hates UF. And I will reiterate Cristobal is not a good X’s and O’s guy.

Don’t forget there was Muschamp that coached at UF and went to UGA. We know how that turned out!

 

[sadgator]

His name sounds too much like “Crystal Ball”. That’s enough right there.

Im sure at some point during their playing careers Dooley hated UGA and Dye hated Auburn.

Then there is Randy Shannon 🤣

I will say Muschamp was at least trying against Georgia. I loved when he jumbo packaged them into submission with his dreamlike offensive play calling that 2014 game. I think he was using just O linemen lined up at TE to block also.

Theres sooooooo many fascinating coaching changes that didn't happen and almost did in SEC history. Dooley and Dye flipping and coaching the other rival is a great example.

Another is when Bama hired Red Drew from Ole MIss in 47. Drew wanted to take his whole staff to Tuscaloosa. His OC decided to stay in Oxford and interview for the Ole Miss job, which he got.

His name was Johnny Vaught. If he follows Drew to Tuscaloosa, Drew probably coaches at Bama a few more years, then Vaught takes over.

We would have been a lot better in the 50s, but we also miss out on hiring Bryant. He probably stays at A&M and they become a powerhouse.

Wasn't there some weird coincidence with Spurrier coming to Florida that had to do with Armsparger? He wanted him to go to LSU or something?

I remember Ray Graves was a Vol player who coached Steve Spurrier at UF.

Doug Dickey. Gator player, Vol coach, Gator Coach, Vol AD.

I'm sure there are plenty more that slips my mind.

Edit: Bob Woodruff. Vol player, Gator Coach, Gator AD, Vol AD.
