With all of the comments surrounding Steve Addazio, whether its blaming him for bad play calling or the reason for the Gators offensive struggles this season, head coach Urban Meyer said Monday that he expects Addazio to return for his third season as offensive coordinator.
“I am expecting that to happen,” Meyer said. “I’ll have further updates as we get closer to the bowl game. Like I said, everybody’s out recruiting and doing their business.”
Just a year ago the Gators were ranked best in the Nation for best efficiency, but changed this season. Florida now sets at number 85 in that category. Rachel George of the Orlando Sentinel pointed out that only four teams rank below the Gators in red zone offense. Those teams are Wyoming, Florida Atlantic, Washington State and Buffalo.
- Sources that are close to the program and Gator Sports Nation said that Steve Addazio is unlikely to return as the main offensive coordinator. We have heard that he could return with a pseudo title as something like co offensive coordinator. A rumor passed onto GSN on who may be looking to replace his position are Dana Holgorsen from Oklahoma State or or Calvin MaGee from Michigan.
Here are a few things Addazio needs to improve on:
- More consistent flow and balance in play calling.
- Ability to put play makers in better situations.
- Improve offensive execution.
- Show a better ability to make halftime adjustments.
