Honestly, it's probably the best coaching staff since Meyer's Mattison/Strong/Mullen trio. Lots of solid recruiters/developers in this group.

I'm not sure on Skipper, but I trust McElwain on picking a RB coach and both Skipper's brother and dad coach RB's in the NFL. Also, Tim himself coached up Ryan Mathews at Fresno. At RB coach, it's really about your personality as a recruiter. All you are really teaching is blocking and ball security outside of that.

Solid staff.

Nussmeier isn't a good playcaller, but maybe Mac will rub off on him.

Poor playcalling is a result of meh gameplanning. McElwain will have a heavy hand in gameplanning I'm sure.

Looks like a solid staff. I'm glad Derek Lewis won't be recruiting Louisiana for y'all anymore. Was he cut loose I guess?

Lewis may be on his way back to texas, Longhorns fired their TE coach & lewis is an alum

Yes. The only coach being retained is Mike Summers. Travaris Robinson had the option but opted to follow Muschamp. The rest were let go.

I'm going to be pulling for UF a lot more now. Coach Mac is a great guy and one of my favorite coaches I've met.

He's a cool guy. Mac spent 30-45 mins yesterday tailgate hopping with UF fans.

The guy is a rock star. He loves to chill on the lake and drink beer.

I like it. Randy Shannon was a great one, especially for Miami connections. I like what JM has to offer at least, so even if the assts aren't sexy in popularity, he's got guys who can fit it and ultimately do the job.

Pumped for 2015, honestly. Solid staff

I like McElwain and wish him the best. I think he was under appreciated by some Bama fans.

Vidic there were some when he left. I didn't say all. I also think some have come to realize how good he was and have changed their mind. Wasn't trying to troll, just what I saw.
