I thought the RB's looked pretty good when we won the 2006 National Title and Drayton was the RB coach. Like I mentioned, Urban Meyer, Phil Fulmer and now Will Muschamp have hired him.
I agree that Chuck Heater was a good coach, but didn't look so good during the 2007 season when Chad Henne threw for about 800 yards against us in the Citrus Bowl. Things got a lot better when Major Wright, Ahmad Black, Janoris Jenkins, and Joe Haden showed up and turned things around. My point, you could dig up any coach you want but talent wins out in the end. Is there any RB on the current UF roster that you think has big time NFL talent ?? I don't know for sure, but I don't think we have any Emmitt Smith's, Fred Taylor's or even Erict Rhett's....on the current roster.

Yeah, but when did our RBs ever look good under his guidance, or even know how to pick up a block. He must be a really good recruiter but the one I'm most baffled by is keeping Durkin and not finding a place for Heater, who I think has consistently been one of our best assistants. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Manuel" <srman...@bellsouth.net> To: <gatortalk@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, January 03, 2011 11:31 AM Subject: RE: [gatortalk] Well... on one hand... >I don't know why people are so down on Stan Drayton, his #1 RB was out most > of the year with an injury, his #2 RB was suspended for a substantial > portion of the season, his #3 RB is a bust regardless of who coached > him....Plus his highly recruited freshman RB was injured and redshirted... > > I wonder what the results would be at any other school given similar > circumstances. > > For some reason, 3 head coaches at major universities, UF and UT have > hired > him.. > > Stephen Manuel. > > -----Original Message----- > From: gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On > Behalf Of Woody > Sent: Monday, January 03, 2011 11:11 AM > To: Gatortalk > Subject: [gatortalk] Well... on one hand... > > Loeffler is gone.
