So, has the dead time expired? Are the coaches able to do visits again?

UF commits, targets like experience of Summers
by Zach Abolverdi (Gainesville SUN Gatorsports.com)
Florida coach Will Muschamp completed his staff Monday with the hire of Mike Summers as offensive line coach, a position he has held for the past 11 years.

The 57-year-old Summers spent 2013 at Southern Cal and served under current UF receivers coach Joker Phillips when he was head coach at Kentucky.
Prior to that, he worked with Bobby Petrino for seven years in college (Arkansas, Louisville) and the NFL (Atlanta). Summers had more than 20 years of coaching experience before his time with Petrino.
Two of Florida’s commitments were happy with the hire of Summers.
“It’s great that someone is coming in with experience. Hopefully he’s a great guy I can build a relationship with,” said offensive tackle David Sharpe of Jacksonville Providence.
Another Jacksonville pledge, Raines guard Travaris Dorsey, is looking forward to meeting Summers during the contact period, which begins Jan. 16.
“I don’t know him,” Dorsey said, “but he sounds like a great coach and I’m ready to work with him. Coach Muschamp told me (Summers) is going to come to my school as soon as he can.”
Also excited about the Summers news is five-star recruit Damian Prince of District Heights (Md.) Bishop McNamara.
The Gators’ No. 1 remaining target tweeted “UF got Mike Summers” with smiley faces. Prince also called him “the king” and told one of his Twitter followers that he loved the hire. The Under Armour All-American officially visits Florida on Jan. 24.
Apoka’s Martez Ivey, one of top offensive tackles in the 2015 class, was recruited by Summers at USC and thinks he’ll help out the Gators.
“He knows what he’s doing,” Ivey said of Summers, “and he’s going to coach up that offensive line.”

I think coach Summers will be the “IT” factor we needed and have lacked for the past 3 – 4 years with the O-line. We will now see some 5 Star talent landed here at THE UF. If we employ the correct scheme on offense now , we are back on top in two years tops. We have the talent to shake up the EAST next year, I know the talent should be there now let’s coach them up. I will say this from pure emotions, we are on the road back with the two hires. The O-line was maybe our biggest problem, Summer is the solution to that. We shall rise and very soon, it should never happen again being treated like the “RED HEADED STEP CHILD”. GO GATORS!!!!

Long way to go before you catch up with the noles talent level… I mean a long way to go

Florida State had an awesome year in every way, beating everyone badly, but only taking in one highly ranked team. Caught our Gators with our depth chart shredded, our very green third-team QB and playing a too small walk-on linebacker. With a healthy team, we belted them a year before. Watching the national championship game, seeing a really good SEC team dominating, raises a a question of just how great these Noles actually are. Still early in second quarter, but this game surely calls to mind the Florida versus Ohio State title game, doesn’t it? I think the Gators roar back and even catch FSU this coming year and next.

Just remember that Dean Smith was “hung in effigy”–a dummy dressed to look like the young, future Hall of Fame basketball coach — when he was in about his third year at North Carolina. In his second year at Duke Coach K held on to his job because the athletic director stuck by his young guy amid demands Mike be fired. Jeremy Foley has endured the development of another youthful coach named Bill Donovan. I think this is why Jeremy has a lot of confidence in Will Muschamp. Watch our Gators turn it around in 2014. “He-e-e-re come the Gators!”

Before every one touts FSU and how fare ahead they are in talent, Auburn (SEC) 21 and FSU (ACC) 10 at the half. They may turn it around in the second half but… That is why they play the game! Go SEC and the Gators!

Thanks Zach! Way to be on this stuff man!!! You work hard, and while I don’t always agree with you, I respect you. No doubt about that.

Disappointed in Auburn’s loss. Now we all turn toward 2014 and a new year for Gators!!!!
by Gatormac
Respect to FSU. They impressed me tonight. But if you think Florida doesn’t have the talent FSU has you know nothing of football and you need to go do some studying
by Arizona_Gator
Auburn let a lot of people down today, Iwouldn’t say they choked but they didn’t continue to play full speed ahead in the second half. For some reason they play a step behind and never regained their intensity and focus, especially the defense and the o-line. OK let’s move forward, congrats to the Noles, they held up the acc (two team) league. GO GATORS!!!!

Well, there may be talent, but there is no proof of that. This is the last chance for all this ‘talent’ to show if it’s real or not. If UF is again lousy on offense, it’s time to point the finger at the players, not the coaches. It doesn’t make sense for them to be successful everywhere except Gainesville unless it’s the clay they have to work with. You can blame injuries, but good teams overcome them. Look at Oklahoma. Look at Georgia, they were not great, but they were not pathetic. The biggest problem is leadership, I think Easley was the only one last year. Usually you look to your seniors, who is going to become a leader this year?
