My hopes:
OC - Tom Herman
OL - Wickline
TE - Brewster
WR - Wyatt
RB - Porter/Applewhite
DC Bedford
DL Orgeron
LB Jean-Marie
DB Travaris Robinson (UF)
S&C Moorer
All the coaches other then Orgeron, Jean-Marie, and Robinson would have Texas ties. Orgeron can likely recruit anyone anywhere. Robinson is well thought of as a coach and recruiter and may want to jump off the UF ship before it sinks. I personally think Applewhite did a decent job considering the injuries and QB situation. I am thankful for McCoy's contributions but to say that he lacked most of the tools you'd want from a div 1 qb is probably fair. As a recruiter, Applewhite brought in most of the running backs on our team, held together guys during the worst times, and would allow a fair amount of continuity. Also, it's hard to judge an offensive playcaller under Mack, as he's been rumored to meddle on the offensive side going back to Greg Davis. Harsin was also well thought of and didn't have amazing success during his year.
