gators hire dukes oc roper

Interesting. Gotta be a solid improvement. Poor duke.

It won't be an improvement if they don't get more talented players on offense. It doesn't matter who's coaching you when the players you're working with aren't good.

That's the problem at Duke with success. The best get gobbled up by others. Good luck to Coach Roper.

LOL: I guess that statement was before last night's game. Not to worry, Florida has some talent; just need to get them to play better and stay off the injured list. A new head coach might be a good idea as well.

They got him cause they couldn't touch Spatival from A&M.

HC yes. Florida is not getting one of those. Will still have that hot headed HOT FUCKING MESS of a coach next year. So I doubt there will be any improvement. Especially since Muschamp wants to stick with Driskel.

Coordinators can change the dynamic considerably I doubt Muschamp is stupid enough to bring in a guy and handcuff him. If he is then he will be looking for a job after next season.

He handcuffed Weiss and Pease. Both of which could have done a great job IF Muschamp could keep his mitts off the offense. He does not know how to allow he OC do his job. Ask any Gator fan on here.

This hire doesn't do anything to get me excited. Duke's success came with Cutcliffe's playcalling. Cutty called the plays, not Roper. That being said, time will tell. If the Gator offense doesn't improve a lot next season, Roper will be gone, along with Muschamp.

I agree with you. A much, much better scenario would have been for Florida to get Cutcliffe.

Muschamp’s time ran out a long time ago. If he doesn’t open the first half of the season absolutely destroying teams by 30 pts a game, he should be fired Lane Kiffin style. I don’t see either scenario happening unfortunately. Stupid Foley will give him way too much leash again next year and we will be into year 3 of a horrible depression.

I'm sure Roper might be good with the Xs & Os, but he will have to prove that he can be successful at calling the plays under fire.

I'm thinking he learned from that but it may be assuming too much.
