Mizell Friday Minute
We’re a long way from “Judgment Day” for
“reconstructed” Gator football…
I’ve been assessing NAMES and
TRACK RECORDS… I am convinced
Will Muschamp is assembling
“a high-quality staff ”…
Four assistants---including BOTH coordinators---have NFL
experience… Pro football is NOT the same as COLLEGE---but
the “NFL Thing” SELLS among young athletes who’re
aiming to “play for major money”…
“Offensive boss” CHARLIE WEIS
comes from the Kansas City Chiefs…
“Defensive leader” DAN QUINN
from the Seattle Seahawks---BOTH franchises in
the NFL playoffs…
WEIS did NOT succeed at
Notre Dame---but “defense” was the reason…
He’ll DO no D at Florida…
If you’re a BIG—GIFTED high school
QB---RUNNER---or RECEIVER---
it can be a MAGNET to play in the
“pro-style offense” of Weis---a man with
FOUR Super Bowl rings…
It is a staff with DIVERSITY---three coaches are African-Americans…
Muschamp is a “noted pit bull” as a recruiter---so, no surprise---
his staff is STACKED with strong recruiters…
An “offensive” re-design is a must for the Gators…
In 2010, the SPREAD often went DEAD…
But, back to RECRUITING---it becomes “especially challenging”
when there is “a coaching change”…
I’m expecting no better than
“a B-minus” 2011 class…
But, AFTER this winter---WATCH OUT…
Job One for “the Muschampers” is to “minimize”
DEFECTIONS---among high schoolers who had
pledged to the Urban Meyer staff….AND,
among “fence-sitters” who remain
UN-committeed---SOME have SCRUBBED Florida
from their “shopping list”… the Gators, for the
SHORT run and THE LONG will need "a lot of
WILL POWER”…
I’m Hubert Mizell, and that’s what I think.
