I hope so. Us losing Appleturnover and DelRio in the same year is actually a win for the program.

We need a Swamp Donkey, wearing a cape. I can see this in my mind's eye. Wish I had photoshop skills

Have you noticed how many top tier recruits we come in second in recruiting? Apparently, Mac is always a bridesmaid, but never a bride. We need to stop wasting time on recruits we can't get. Or maybe, we need to stop wasting time on coaches who can't recruit.

We arent coming in second. Leatherhead was never coming here.
I doubt Stidham was either.

Right, the time and effort wasted on those two could have been productively spent getting some realistic 4* linemen to commit. According to Zach we came in second, so I guess that makes us Life Champions in the recruiting wars.

Yeah, being in the running for top tier recruits is bad! We should only recruit the top tier guys that aren't pursued by the top programs in the country. Better to give up and go home than to be out there competing with the best.

The point is he ISN'T competing with the best on the field and off. He's getting ram-rodded all over the place. It's pathetic.

But we're NOT "competing" with the BEST. The BEST are handing our own asses to us... with much regularity...
And this is coming from a guy who is routinely sick and tired of all the over the top, non stop b!tching that is going on... But come on.... at least be honest with yourself with the state of our program.
We are routinely beaten on the field by teams that can match us in talent. And we are routinely losing on the recruiting front. We are the flagship university in the state of Florida and are 3rd in the state in terms of top level recruits and are behind several other OUT OF STATE schools who are ahead of us in recruiting OUR OWN STATE. There is no sugar coating that. Our program has lost it's shine. We are no longer a premier program. It sucks... but it's the truth... that's the reality of our current situation.

We should also fire the whole staff every 2 years if we don't get the performance we want! If we can't be better than Alabama or the Gators of the 90's within a year or two, we should whine and then give up! Coaches and assistants at all levels will flock to Gainesville once they know they'll have no time to develop the program and they'll have to win immediately with whatever talent happens to be left! No QBs? No problem. Just develop them over the course of several months and then win or you're fired and they're cut!
Sounds like most people here have a firm grasp on how to develop a program and how long it takes to develop recruiting relationships (not to mention all the expertise in offensive schemes, defensive schemes, play-calling, etc.). Those guys who played college football and have spent their entire careers proving themselves as coaches? No, they clearly don't have a clue! What, they've worked hard moved up the ranks in a free market with low barriers to entry and high levels of competition?!? Bah! Success in a free market doesn't mean anything!
It's pretty hard to believe most of the naysayers here aren't already making big money as college football coaches or Athletic Directors. Maybe they've missed their calling?

At this point, I imagine our recruiting war room being like the "Pictionary" scene in When Harry Met Sally. No real communication or continuity in the plan. Just mass confusion, random things being shouted out or written on the board, and ultimately ending in frustration and a coffee break.

Dude, you should have just posted "I TRUST THE COACHES!!!"
Do you even understand what a "message board" is for? Should we just talk about how great things are? There's a place for that...it's called "Gatorcountry". You'll fit right in over there!
Hey guys, "I TRUST THE COACHES!!"

No, I am not for replacing the staff every 2 yrs but with this staffs recruiting numbers, its gonna be real hard for him to be competitive in the SEC. We need recruiters and we need them bad.
