Spring Ball Starts Today 2/28

I follow a few other B10 programs close and it seems we have more injuries than most...either bad luck or need some tweaks on S&C -- yes, I like Duval, relax.

I hate this "I heard" stuff and rehashing the past that becomes a mish-mash of internet drama But did the Florida jig even get far enough for Frost to talk about assistants? It was my understanding, after the initial interview, he wasn't even in the mix. Could be that the subject of assistants came up then but it seems from reports he didn't impress the higher ups to even go to step 2. What am I missing?

That's the impression that I got after reading the story as well. According to the article, after his initial interview, a regent said "He is not ready to be a big-time football coach" or something to that effect. They were after Chip all the way.

So why did they call him back after Chip turned them down? That narrative makes sense until you read a regent say, we are still waiting for that call back......

Yeah, the article did say that as well. Doesn't make much sense. However, I would bet that Florida has no regrets on how it played out. They had a couple of pretty good years under Mullen while it lasted. A hell of a lot better than what Frost would have done there I suspect. Or Chip for that matter.

They had no regrets? I would bet otherwise.

In all of this I think the most important thing is the apparent emergence of Polar Bear. I think our offense will be much better this year and we certainly have skill and talent at linebacker and in the secondary. The huge glaring weakness coming into spring camp is the lack of proven difference makers on the defensive line and the lack of depth on that line. Ty Robinson is steady and reliable but not spectacular and he has been out leveraged quite often at the point of attack. We really need Polar Bear to emerge as a force on the line. If we can find a way to play well on the defensive line this year then winning the West is definitely possible.

We need Ty Robinson to emerge too. He has the talent to do it, now he just needs to do it. Nash has more limited footspeed and I think that limits his ultimate potential, but I think he can be a solid player.

Am I the only person to wonder what took this long to make these changes on the staff? Now, of course, we need to see the results. We have heard many of these same lines before.

Fair question, but we were probably a few wins away from not changing anything.
