Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Daily Football Fix: Would Harvin make a good coach?

LOL well apparently I remember 2006 a lot differently, but I did often watch those games with the Gator Club at a bar, so...

Harvin had one catch against Tennessee for 12 yards and ran for 13 yards in 2006. Against Kentucky he had one rush for 2 yards. Because of an injury he didn't play against Alabama and sparingly against LSU. Minimal yardage against Auburn.

He ran for a 42 yard touchdown against the semis, injured and taken off the field in a stretcher.

Played well against Arkansas in the SECCG. Played well against Ohio State, with 22 yards rushing and a touchdown, 60 yards receiving.

He was part of the offense and teams had to prepare for him when he played, but I think we would have won the national championship without him.

 

I'd like to see him as a coach at Florida. He would surely help with recruiting.

I won't disagree that the Gators were far better with both, although Harvin was soooooo much of the offense in 2006; not as much Tebow.  And once Harvin was gone, that game-changer with the ball (I mean, 9.2 yds per touch!) went away.

Personally, I think this is one of those arguments like with your favorite band. You remove a certain musician, and they lose their magic. I think it's this way with Tebow and Harvin. Go Gators!!!!

I argue that Harvin was more important to 2 national championships than Tebow.  Fight me.

There are no statues honoring him outside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium yet, but an argument can be made for Percy Harvin as the greatest football player in Florida history.

Harvin was the offensive catalyst for two of UF's three national title teams. In 2006, Florida does not get to the national title game without Harvin's combined 167 yards of rushing and receiving and two TDs in UF's 38-28 SEC championship win over Arkansas. In 2008, the Gators don't win the BCS title over Oklahoma without Harvin's 171 yards of offfense and one TD.

Harvin's greatness at Florida was at times overshadowed by off-field issues and bouts with migraine headaches that occasionally sidelined him. Back living in Gainesville, Harvin discussed his issues with migraines and social anxiety disorder at length with Sports Illustrated reporter Michael McKnight. Florida head coach Dan Mullen, who recruited Harvin to UF as offensive coordinator under Urban Meyer, has invited the 30-year-old Harvin to UF's football facilities to mentor current players. According to the SI article, Harvin also is back enrolled in classes in Florida to finish his degree in psychology.

"He's young enough that our players have seen him play; they've seen his success in the NFL," Mullen told SI. "Hey, here's the standard, I've done it and it helped me be successful."

Could Harvin's second act at Florida wind up being coaching? Harvin told SI that he's found new mechanisms to deal with his impulsive behavior. He disputed a Sporting News report in 2012 that he choked UF receivers Billy Gonzales coach to the ground in a practice during his playing days.

"First of all, he's a grown man," Harvin told SI. "Like he's gonna let a kid choke him with no consequences. It wasn't anything close to choking. Did we have disagreements? Of course. We had a lot of egos on that team, a lot of guys who wanted touches."

Gonzales has referred to the report as "overblown" as well.

There is more to coaching than being a mentor, and Harvin would need to prove his worth as a teacher and as a recruiter. But it certainly wouldn't hurt to have a former icon like Harvin on staff, provided he remains on his current positive path.
