i like the hire. Not sure it will do much though. Driskell is still the QB behind an atrocious OL.

Cutcliffe was the one calling the plays. Dumb move.

So, what is it with UF hiring up all of UK's fired coaches? Gator Nation will be in meltdown over this one.....

Well that's an interesting selection. And he was only at UK as QB coach for one year in '05. Coached Andre Woodson as a sophomore.

ETA: As much as Joker pissed me off as HC, Gators would've been better off promoting him to OC.

Pretty much. This guy wore training wheels and while it is probably time for him to become an OC in his own right, it's a risky move. BUT the good thing is Cutcliffe is a very good teacher.

UF has had a terrible offense for 4 straight years.

If our offense sucks in 2014, oh well its expected.
