What Is Auburn Getting in Scot Loeffler?
Auburn has hired Scot Loeffler as its offensive coordinator. Just what is the school getting with him? A difficult name to spell. People have a hard time with even simple names. I could have bought a car if I had a nickel for every time I saw Urban's name spelled "Myer" or "Meyers". I could upgrade...
Another Strong Hire By Chizik
He's buddies with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. He was born in Barberton, Ohio, home of legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. If lineage is an indicator of success, then Auburn has found its man in Scot Loeffler. The man hired to run Auburn's offense will not get the headlines...
John Brantley is your quarterback. Jordan Reed and Trey Burton are your alternate quarterbacks.
In June, I wrote an article titled "John Brantley is your quarterback, Tim Tebow is Denver's quarterback." The point of the article was to basically throw out the Tebow-only fans (which I also do here) and to appeal for support for Brantley. It bothers me when I see comparisons to Tebow with...
SEC Trap Games: Florida
The Game: Florida vs. Mississippi State Date: October 16 The Setup: Florida at Alabama, October 2; Florida vs. LSU, October 9 Thanks to the rotation of the SEC West schedule, Florida has a very tough back-to-back to start October. First comes the Armageddon game at Alabama (where Urban Meyer...
Quarterbacks and the NFL
I'm going to take the opposite side of the argument regarding the Ben Volin-Mike Florio spat over Tim Tebow's throwing motion. I generally agree with Volin, but then the two of us have followed the Florida program a lot closer than Florio has. Nearly everything that Tebow is doing now with his...
Gator Coaching Staff Changes Should Not Be Overlooked
The main focus of all the preseason buzz about Florida has been the roster continuity, and for good reason. I, along with a lot of other people, am a believer that football success is more about the Jimmy's and the Joes than the Xs and the Os. However, as is often the case with national title...
Tim Tebow's "Slow" Release
One of the major complaints about Tim Tebow by those who say he won't make it in the NFL is that he has a slow release. This critique is related to the charge that he has poor mechanics. I am not a trained coach, but I believe I can show you at least what armchair NFL GMs see in him that causes...
Do We Need to Reevaluate Dan Mullen?
You know things are upside down in Starkville when they use a basketball game to get folks excited about football. No offense, Coach Stansbury. There is a small but extremely vocal contingent of Florida fans that never liked Dan Mullen. They thought he didn't know what he was doing in his first...
Monday Notes: Lions Interested in Savage, Harris for Front Office Job?
Although it seems like the Lions' main focus is on hiring a new head coach, they are also actively searching for another person to join the front office. Two people they have reportedly been in contact with are former Browns general manager Phil Savage and former Jaguars vice president of player...
Thursday Notes: Lions Interview Jason Garrett
Contrary a report last week that Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett withdrew his name from the Lions' list of head coach candidates, he actually was interviewed by Detroit on Monday. In fact, the interview went so well that he is reportedly the leading candidate for the job. ...
