Everybody wants to talk about Florida's 2027 recruiting ranking or the new head coach's schedule, but nobody is asking why the Gators special teams units have been a disaster for three straight seasons. Florida ranked 94th in punt return efficiency and 78th in kickoff coverage last year. You cannot win close SEC games when you are giving up hidden yardage on every exchange. The new staff better have a dedicated special teams coordinator who actually gets paid like one, because the days of treating that phase as an afterthought are over. Texas and Georgia win the field position battle every single week and that is why they are in the playoff conversation while Florida is fighting for bowl eligibility.
