I say give him a year to see what he can do..but with the talent we have.. and the fact that we're contenders for the national title next year.. that's too risky.

I've seen all the reasons against the move

I have no fricking clue how he'd work as an OC.
I'd rather him not be promoted to OC solely because I'll have to read about him being a BBQ buddy etc from the moronitrons here.

Just a quick search:
quote:
Gonzales is a talented recruiter for the Gators and has coached NFL wide receivers Percy Harvin, Louis Murphy and Andre Caldwell. Urban Meyer who coached Gonzales while a wide receiver at Colorado State in the 90s. Gonzales coached with Meyer at all three of his head-coaching stops — Bowling Green in 2001, Utah in 2003 and Florida in 2005.
quote:
Prior to joining the LSU staff, Gonzales served under Urban Meyer since the 2001 season at Bowling Green. Gonzales coached for two years at Bowling Green before moving on with Meyer to Utah for the 2003 and 2004 seasons. Gonzales arrived at Florida in 2005, and during his five years with the Gators, he sent six players to the NFL Draft, including 2009 first round pick Percy Harvin and Chad Jackson, a second round selection by the New England Patriots in 2007.
In 2009, Gonzales helped the Florida offense rank first in the Southeastern Conference and 12th in the nation in total yards with 442 per game. The Gators averaged 217 passing yards per game.
In 2007, Gonzales assisted Andre Caldwell in becoming Florida’s all-time leader in receptions with 185 for his career, while a year earlier, Dallas Baker set the school record for single season catches with 88.
From 2005 to 2008, Florida produced two first-team All-SEC wide receivers and a pair of second-team all-conference receivers.
In two years at Utah, Gonzales helped the Utes to a 22-2 overall mark and a pair of bowl victories, including a 35-7 win over Pittsburgh in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl. Offensively, Utah averaged 499.8 yards and 45.3 points per game in 2004, both of which ranked No. 3 in the nation that year.
In addition to his role as Utah’s wide receivers coach, Gonzales also served as the special teams coordinator for the Utes. In 2003, Utah led the nation in kickoff returns with a 28.2 average and they were third in the nation in net punting (40.8 yards) and fifth in the country in kickoff returns (26.2) in 2004.
Gonzales spent 2001 and 2002 at Bowling Green, serving as wide receivers coach and co-recruiting coordinator. The Falcons were 17-6 in his two years at the school and in 2002, Bowling Green ranked No. 3 in the nation with 48.0 points per game. The Falcons also averaged 448.9 yards per game in 2002, a figure that ranked No. 9 nationally.
Gonzales broke into full-time coaching at the Division I level in 1997 at Kent State, where he spent four years with the Golden Flashes coaching running backs in 1997, before moving to wide receivers for the next three years. Gonzales coached for two years as a graduate assistant at Kent State from 1995-96, where he received his Master’s Degree in Sports Administration.
Gonzales’ first coaching job came in 1994 at MacMurray (Ill.) as the wide receivers coach.
A four-year letterwinner at Colorado State and a two-year starter at wide receiver, Gonzales helped the Rams to a 9-4 record in 1990 and a win over Oregon in the Freedom Bowl that year. Gonzales is a 1994 graduate of Colorado State University. He’s married to the former Julie Hall and the couple has two children, Cole and Caylynn.

he seems like he would run the same type of spread'ish optiony offense crowton was trying to run here

As passing game coordinator, he led LSU into being one of the most prolific passing teams in all of college football.
Oh wait, we were almost dead last.
Carry on.

Cause he's the man and everyone should know it. It's time.
Posted on 1/13/11 at 3:53 pm to BilJ
Polo buttoned all the way up, so you know he means business.

Less transitional issues. Not an arguement, but a positive. I think this has been planned since day one of him coming.

Coached LSU passing game to double digit touchdowns this year.

Because this would be ok with me.

It's the reason he came here fro... he'll be better than Crowton. 
Posted on 1/13/11 at 3:58 pm to BilJ
He was hired to coach the WRs and our receivers played they worst they have in years. They didn't know how to catch or block.

A young, well thought of coach who has been tabbed as a red zone play caller at Florida and passing game coordinator at LSU. Known for his attention to detail and workmanlike ethic. Learned under multiple good offensive minds, namely from the Urban Meyer tree which is rooted in the wide receiver route tree of Scott Linehan.

Unless you have been in the locker room/coaches meetings/practices with Billy Gonzales, I dont think anyone is qualified to give an opinion on him one way or another, and thats honestly the only problem with him for now.
So how CAN anyone make a case for Gonzales? Likewise, how can anyone make a case against him?
