Gators 2017 Football Schedule

"Florida Gators game start"

Florida Gators are yet to find their rhythm since former defensive coordinator Randy Shannon took charge. After long-serving head coach Jim McElwain was relieved of his appointment as the head coach of the Gators during the season, normality is yet to return to the team.

Shannon, who is now the interim coach of the team, is yet to make any serious impact as the Gators continue to lose to the lowest of teams in the competition. The blowout loss to Missouri some weeks ago is a typical example. It is clearly visible all departments of the game need a complete overhaul if it is to make the desired change that is to bring Florida back to its glory days once again. They’ve done it before under Jim McElwain by winning two SEC East during his tenure.

"The 2017 league season"

The 2017 league season is almost over now and too late to make any turnaround on the season's woeful performance. They’ve only got a game in hand on the 25th of November against Florida State. Except playing for pride, there is nothing serious about the last game for the Gators. They should go out and play for pride and probably give their fans something to smile about to close up the season. For now, there is no much to be excited about the Gators at the moment. They’re presently on a downward trend and the management needs to urgently get things back to what they were in the past.

Preparation for the 2018 season is now. The management just needs to start early with recruitment and also put in place the appropriate coaching crew to make Gators rise again.
