Florida coach Will Muschamp reportedly switching to up-tempo offense in 2014

With coordinator Brent Pease out at Florida, expect the next guy handling Will Muschamp’s offense to shake things up a bit. With the personnel Florida had this year — coupled with injuries all over the field — the Gators struggled mightily to score. They averaged 18.8 points per game, tied for 111th nationally.

It’s still yet to be seen what direction Florida will go in offensively, but coaches will often say and try anything in order to retain their jobs. Though Muschamp has received the repeated backing of athletic director Jeremy Foley, he still must work to keep recruits in the fold as he tries to recover from a disastrous 4-8 campaign in which Gators dropped their last seven contests, including a 26-20 loss to FCS Georgia Southern on Nov. 23.

I am a big Cutcliffe fan, but outside of QB’s he is not much of a recruiter and that is first priority at UT. He is a very good coach though.

Butch seems to be recruiting well, but not sold on our coordinators after this season although they lacked speed and talent. I will give them a couple of years.

I can’t figure out Muschamp and my family says the same. You guys got bit hard by the injury bug this season, but I kept thinking the Gators had more talent and speed than they showed.
