Mac has been at UF for 2 1/2 recruiting cycles yet we're still thin at a number of positions because of the inability to recruit and bring in QUALITY numbers at OL/DL/LB'S and CB'S. If any of the starting 5 on the OL gets hurt... were screwed! If either or both of Taven Bryan/Khari Clark go down...we're screwed! We can't have multiple injuries at LB (like last year) or we're screwed! Last but not least everyone needs to pray 2 or 3 of secondary commits come in day one ready to start because if not... guess what...we're screwed! Between Mike Summers inability to recruit quality numbers on the OL (for 4 yrs) Chris Rumphs inability to land quality numbers at DT and the Kirk Callahan hire...it really screwed us! A HC in year 3 shouldn't be in this position but here we are. Whenever you hire multiple bums who can't recruit or coach ( Nord & Nuss) then refuse to can that a$$ it really sets back the program further! After watching our program over the last 7 yrs I now expect this type of ineptitude because the same mistakes have been happening for almost a decade. No matter what happens I'll always be a Gator but from here on out I'll be one watching from his home instead of one watching in the Swamp. I will not give/spend another dollar on anything related to Florida athletics until we're national title contenders again in Football.
Excuse me but who are you to speak in such absolute terms? Opinions are like arm pits, everyone has a couple and most stink!
All you seem to see is doom while most see opportunity..... Every team has problems in the pre-season, even Bama has issues. Players grow up, get bigger and stronger and Coaches tinker with the X's and O's... sometime it works out and sometimes it doesn't...... that just reflects real life. We have good numbers to work with and even though we don't have many 5 star players on the roster, we have plenty of big, fast guys who want to win. Maybe, just maybe the Coaches will figure out how to turn that "want to" into real wins...... or not, again that's just real life.
If we lose a couple of stinker games, I'll bitch and moan with everyone else but I won't be surprised. But, if we win 10+ games, I won't be surprised either......... I won't be surprised if we win the East again and get beat by the West Champion again but maybe The Football Gods will smile on our Gators in 2017 and we Kick the door down! .. At this point, no one knows what will happen but I feel good about our prospects.
* It's good that our players are not as emotional or depressed as many of our fanatics seem to be.
