re: Why the hate for Corey raymond?

The reason he gets shite is his final two seasons here the defense sucked dick particularly his unit. He got lazy and spent time leveraging openings and then failed to deliver. If you gonna hunt out jobs each year you can’t let it distract you from your job. I would take him back because he is better than Cook or Steeples.

This. I have been very much against Raymond coming back because of how he performed his last two seasons and how UF’s secondary didn’t improve at all in two years under him. That doesn’t detract from my appreciation of what he did here in previous years, but the past doesn’t trump recent performance.

All that said, Raymond is still better than what we have currently. I would personally rather the staff go younger to try and make a longer-term hire that gets us back on track. Chevis Jackson has been mentioned many times. But if Raymond is the hire, I’m behind him. I’m not one of those who wants a coach to fail here just so they can say they called it.
