Coney has a successful visit to Florida| Florida Gators

This one sounds worse than the rivals one, lol.

Coney has a successful visit to Florida| Florida Gators

IDK when Coney was offered relative to Bilal but the way I am seeing it is it is a Coney's spot since Bilal can't be bothered to visit. For whatever reason.maybe Coney realizes since UFs loss this weekend that they are bottoming out and we are rising.

Oh well

 

[NDdomer2]

Lol he gone.

I say take both the Indy kids.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Oh well

Priceless gif! thanks for finding that.

The key here is does he stick. Samspon at II mentioned today that the staff loves him as a player but there are some red flags on whether he sticks or not.

Agree. I've felt for a long time that he isn't Irish and if he did commit, the flip is likely.

Miami is still an option?

Adam Krohn of rivals just got done talking with Coney this evening and posted that this quote stuck out to him the most. "It's going to come down to which school has the most coaching stability." With that said he also thinks Muschamp will be there next year and he trusts their coaching staff. Said he hasn't decided yet but between now and the 21st (announcement date) he's confident he'll have made his mind up. Again, Miami is pitching staying close to home and he continues to say he'll be OVing there on Nov 15th for when they play FSU.

 

[NDdomer2]

Muschamp is certainly telling him BK to nfl, right?

I have to hand it to Muschump, he's done a pretty good job of convincing kids he's got that train moving in the right direction. There are so many good athletes on that team I would hope he could do something with them.

 

[GBdomer]

To bad he doesn't have a QB or a WR worth a damn. Which is unreal considering the school he coaches at.

Or they can't develop them. Look at Golson and Fullers rankings compared to Driskell and Robinson. There is plenty of talent there, he's just a shit coach.

The funny thing about coaching stability: Muschamp could well lose his job and then they'll hire a new guy who'll have all the stability you can hope for. And if I'm that new coach looking to finish up a recruiting class, Coney's one of my first phone calls.
I'd certainly take his commit, but I'd certainly worry about a late flip, too.
That said, I could see the same chain of events happening with the two Indiana LBs and Michigan. So who knows. Take them all.

Rivals Florida site thinks it's ND.

I've seen this from UF people at 247 and SBNation as well but I don't feel confident. Not sure what's up

 

[andre784]

Coney said he's making his decision based on coaching stability. Which leads me to think ND and him aren't a match. It will be a miracle to keep Kelly here long term, I think everyone knows that. It's a good thing we did finally get the right guy after all these years though, since we have the chance of being elite for a longer time than in recent memory.

I would bet a lot of money, based on the current trends of both programs and existing contracts, that Brian Kelly will be at ND much longer than Muschamp at UF...

Where is the coaching stability at UF since Suppier left? Much less the judgement in hiring coaches?

After Spurrier left UF hired a former assistant with no head coach experience, Ron Zook. He was embattled throughout his 3 years. They fired him and made Strong interim HC ... for 1 game. They wouldn't hire Strong who went on to blossom at UL.

Their President, Meyer's former boss at Utah, was the key to Meyer's hiring. Urban had a 6 year run as successful as Spurrier's 12 year run. Then Meyer had a mysterious illness that made him give up coaching ... until he had a miraculous recovery when the OSU job suddenly became available.

Then UF hired another guy with no HC experience. He foundered the first year to fan furor. Then ripped off 11 wins and was the Gators Guy! Then had a losing season and became the worst coach in history.

Stability? At UF? They didn't have it before Spurrier either. See Pell, Hall, and Darnell.

 

[ScooterIrish]

After Spurrier left UF promoted an assistant with no head coach experience, Ron Zook.

Ha, this sentence is a little misleading. Foley hired Zook away from the NO Saints, as he was the DC there, so I don't really see that promoting an assistant. However, it does drive home the fact that Foley sucks at hiring.

He was DC under Spurrier there in the early 90's, before getting demoted to ST coach for a year.

Agreed. I modified the previous post to note they hired a former assistant. My point was they hired a guy with no HC experience at a major program to replace a legend. That's a formula for failure.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Didn't realize that Coney is going to be an EE, or at least he received word from his HS that he could graduate early. On his twitter he seemed to be wavering a little bit if wants to graduate early or not.

If we are worried about him flipping if he chooses ND, than at least we would have an opportunity to go after another LB before signing day.

Just a bit of a tangent here but Zook was a hell of a recruiter IIRC. He went up to Illinois and really rebuilt a really crappy program as well as leaving Florida and Meyer with a stocked cabinet of stellar players. I was just talking Illini football with a U of I grad last week and he misses Zook.
Nothing in your post says anything to the contrary, just a little Zook rant I had to go on.

Of course the grad misses Zook, the Illini would at least occasionally make it to bowl games with him.

Haha very valid point. It's a head-scratcher as to why he got let go as its Illinois and all.

Well I'm not really trying to go off-topic, but I suppose the U of I AD just thought that they deserved better.

Back to Coney, now! I really do hope that he commits and sticks.

Oh yeah, it was a bad hire. Foley (the UF AD) gets a lot of praise but I'm not sure why.

 

[koonja]

FWIW, 4 CBs to ND in the past 3 days, none for Florida.

4 CBs from Buckeye guy, Auburn guy, Florida guy, FSU guy.

That's pretty good news...i guess. Better than the late CB's going in the other direction.

 

[GBdomer]

Chris Nee with a ND prediction. We might land him but until he signs that LOI I still don't think he ends up at ND.

Its almost a guarantee that he is saving his spot at ND so when the time comes if he feels up to it, he'll sign or if not he'll go to either UF or Miami. Seems like a pretty easy read right now.

 

[Cackalacky]

Would he really commit in Oct and flip before January?
