I can't remember the names, but the former UF Strength coach and his wife (who was the the women's S&C coach) were both really big... I know the one that was at Texas a few years ago, not sure if he still is, was really big... When i was going through my recruitment all but two (Iowa State and Miss State) were big guys...

I'd hope and expect that the new coach at the very least gives all of the current assistants interviews. If they are still on the job and working, I think that they've earned it. I'd especially like to see the new coach keep McFarland on the OL. He's a good coach and the OL has gotten better under his watch. Who knows who Chizik will take with him to Auburn. I don't know that he's pulling all of the strings down there.

Florida's S&C coach? Mickey Marotti is kinda a shorter dude but in shape, before him was Rob Glass but I don't remember him being too big. What year did you go through your recruiting?

I thought that I heard that administration hired his staff already. It almost seems like the coaches here are not too happy with his move anyway.

I think Mcfarland was a pretty good line coach considering what he had to work with and a good recruiter...and I think he'd like to stay on to prove his good buddie wrong.

I kind of hope he takes them with them.
