Florida Fans, do you trust a Kliff Kingsbury hire?

I have no doubt Kingsbury would get the Florida offense humming, if he is the next hire for y’all. He’s an offensive genius, that is very much true. But the man coached 6 seasons at Texas Tech and posted a 35-40 overall record in his 6 seasons there. Hell, he had Patrick Mahomes for half his Texas Tech tenure. He ended up failing at Arizona, but I won’t hold that much against him, as we have seen certain guys fail at one level. Saban in the NFL, Belichick in CFB. I have a lot of Texas Tech buddies who couldn’t stand Kingsbury during his Texas Tech tenure, and this is why. Look at these team defensive numbers under Kingsbury. This is pretty alarming stuff to say the least.
Kliff Kingsbury Team defensive ranks at Texas Tech:
2013 88th/125th
2014 126th/128th
2015 125th/128th
2016 128th/128th
2017 100th/128th
2018 86th/128th
He never fielded a defense in the Top 85 in 6 full seasons. 3 of these seasons, these defenses were pretty much the worst in CFB. This is a pretty good sample size to get a clear picture as well.

You guys dont find it strange how top coaches at smaller programs never have a top 20 defenses?
Maybe its not so much as coaching but the fact that 5 star LBs arent beating down the doors to play at TT?
You can coach the shite out of a 3 star LB all day, he's not gonna be able to cover Kyle Pitts. Im just sayin
For reference, go see Baylor's D with LSU's old DC.
Talent matters, or lack there of

You are right, but we aren’t talking top 20 defenses. We are talking the man couldn’t field anything at all with substance. These were consistently the worst defenses in CFB.

Again, look at Baylor.

We just want an offense that can score, schools like LSU and UF will have stout defenses on talent alone.
