    We hired Geoff Collins as a defensive analyst at SC. I know that he use to be DC at UF. I’m assuming he was brought here, in case our DC takes a head coaching job after this year, so we could just slide him into the DC slot.

    Just wanted to get the thoughts on his time at UF.

    I loved him. His defense literally won games for us because our offense was so inept. The money down and turnover board started during his tenure here so a lot of people hate him for that, but his defenses were legit.

    Loved his defense. Aggressive too aggressive sometimes but that’s better than the alternative.

    Surprised he's going the analyst route.

    He is really great but it depends on if he's gotten the Head Coaching bug out of his system yet. Temple was never going to be successful and he had some decent teams at G tech. If the right team comes around he might jump.

    I was hoping it would work out to where we could get him back. We did upgrade, though.
