According to multiple reports, Gators head coach Dan Mullen fired defensive coordinator Todd Grantham and offensive line coach John Hevesy on Sunday.
Here are six thoughts I have on a wild night in Gator Nation.
1. These firings absolutely needed to happen sooner rather than later.
First, there is the technique and scheme aspect of things. Grantham’s defense has gotten absolutely destroyed by two bad rushing offenses this season, and they still don’t know how to defend a counter play.
Then there are the mind-boggling decisions to play their cornerbacks 10 yards off the ball on third-and-4 and to only put six guys in the box against teams that are gashing them on the ground.
