Napier will recruit well at UF, he hired the DB coach from LSU who is an elite recruiter and DB coach, Napier himself was an elite recruiter at Bama, a couple of his other hires are good recruiters too. Everyone needs a strong FSU and Miami to eat up the Florida kids. UT has recruited pretty well on the offensive side of the ball, but not so well on the defensive side. They are in the
Bennett isn't bad, but he is a gunslinger and a little risky at times. But you are correct, and looked more like the Heisman winner the actual winner did that game. Kirby just can't find it in himself to turn the offense loose. But after Bama recovered the fumble and went ahead, he did and Bennett looked great. He's small and doesn't have the biggest arm, but he is the only QB in town with winning a NC on his resume.
I hope I am not drinking too much Kool aide and we are still in the hunt in Nov. I really like our replacement for Lanning, recruits seem to really like him, same with the DB coach. I am not overly concerned losing the DC, I Schumann was the co DC and coached our ILB, Muschamp will assume a CO DC title and coach S this season, which is pretty much what he did last year.
But I am not thrilled with our OL hire, feel it's the worst hire Kirby has made at UGA. I was hoping for a young guy looking to build a resume and defending NC with 4 starters returning, if you count the one injured in the opener. But instead hire an old retread in the twilight of his career.
