Probably because he was so good, and he was playing for Spurrier. But glad he's our WR coach! As soon as I read that name I thought, "Is that damn WR from Fla?" Honestly, I hated this guy. NOW - I love me some Hilliard!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auctoritas 2,828 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 That's a name, right there. I have no idea if he knows how to recruit, but I guarantee anyone in FL who grew up a UF fan - or (importantly) whose mama was a UF fan - that name will open some doors. He's just gotta come in and slam it behind him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL experience is encouraging, but I don't know that the guy has ever recruited and that receiver room needs some recruiting. That experience is probably the biggest advantage that a coach could be armed with in recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzle 3,920 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Seems cool, I’m in a wait and see approach. Hopefully he actually stays with us. Did Harsin explain to him that recruiting is tough and there’s a lot of travel? Last NFL guy didn’t seem to understand that until after he signed on the dotted line Edited February 23, 2022 by Sizzle 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling he will do just fine in that department. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didba 5,281 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 We get a great hire like this and still people looking hard to find the negative. Sure, he's never recruited but he played at Florida so he knows the South, and he's from a small town in Louisiana. Suffice to say that lends itself to recruiting. It's likely we just had another Eason level hire. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMan70 3,277 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 THAT'S what I'm talking about. What high school WR wouldn't want to be coached by Ike Hilliard. This is really excellent. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get too emotional because I’m not jumping up and down just yet on a new hire I'm not emotional, I could care less. I'm just calling you out for literally doing the opposite of what you said you would. Wait and see means reserve judgment until we get to see the proof in the pudding. What you did was not wait and see. It was immediately focus on the only negative thay can be found with this hire while also making a jab at Harsin/Davis situation. Cmon man.
