Urban Meyer says Gators’ problems begin with coaching

But the root cause for all of those problems, Meyer said, can be traced to one thing: poor coaching.

The coaching staff, Meyer included, has not done a good job, especially in practice, he said. The talent is there. The execution is not, and execution is all about coaching.

“I have more of an issue about efficiency of practice,” Meyer said Monday. “Fundamentals don’t improve for a lot of reasons. No. 1 is you don’t practice them at the game speed that you need to be practicing at; No. 2 [is] that you’re not taught very well. No. 3 is that the player is not good enough. No. 3 is not allowed around here.
