...why Billy Gonzales is such a "slam dunk" hire?

I'm not saying he's not, but I'm struggling to see why he is?

Great recruiter? (If you say "yes", supply evidence).

Great WR coach? (If you say "yes", supply evidence).

Why the lateral move from UF to LSU?

Again, this may come off as negative, but I promise you it isn't. I just know zilch about the guy, and don't feel like reading a long-arse resume.

Someone provide the cliffnotes, por favor.

TIA.

I'm not sold that he's a great WR coach. I do think he's an upgrade over DJ.

Maybe he felt like he should have been the OC after Mullen left?

We have two, now.

We'll never lose out on a recruit again.

I'm expecting 28 5* recruits next year

I'm playing catch up myself on this.

Did Miles steal him from Florida or was he on the outs?

I think he was looking to move, but Meyer wasn't getting rid of him as far as I know.

I think the Florida site (without being able to read past the teaser since I don't have a subscription) made it sound like it was a mutual parting.
