We're not talking about the usual group think here, where only haters would fail to recognize rr's obvious appeal for that opening. This was a declaration - in a half dozen threads - that everyone outside of the um fanbase knew that rr would be a tremendous hire for them. That's a new one, stuffing your delusions into everyone else's mouth.
Maybe rr will be successful in time at um. Maybe a 360-raised football fan would think that rr would make it an easier transition for an 'option/spread' team (though you'd think a gamer would remember how different those two playbooks were, especially with how every online user used Florida and their playbook in last year's game).
That also opened the tanker full of worms about whether rr would adjust his offense to the more traditional qb replacing tebow, John brantley. That got a lot of threads locked.
Then my personal favorite, the thread calling out rr-haters for talking about how great rr would be for Florida. That completed the gamut, every single opinion on the subject was in danger of being an anti-rr troublemaker.
Then again, rr's agent could always start putting his hat in the ring

As for the departed assistant, Hopson was hailed as rr's star recruiter, who proceeded to whiff badly after spending the year in Dixie. He picked up the talbotts this year in Ohio, and has grimes set to come aboard, partially by offering a package deal. They will still land this talented db, but I wonder how many packages they can offer. They seem to do this far more often than schools like um usually do.
Sorry if this was covered, I've been on vacation and on a phone.
