Its a fine line between constructive criticism and just bashing, especially on a message board. I agree, to me, the point of participating on a discussion board is (insert jokes later) to have some reasoned conversation with others who are knowledgeable and willing to share an opinion. For example, why do you think it is better to not use the pistol offense versus the air raid, etc. Instead of hearing some points about offensive efficiency etc, many times it just became/becomes a drag about how idiotic/dumb/loser etc our current staff/administration is or how somehow everything is the fault of some liberal agenda. To be fair not everyone obviously, as there are some legit posters that do come with facts and fair responses. Damn that stuff gets tiring, I get it, our AD and Admin has not shown the desire to "win at all costs". But we all know that. It is still my university, and I will always support the team that we put out there. So constantly bemoaning something we all know just becomes stale and not fun.
As far as current new coach, I do think it feels different. It is the first time I feel that not only does the admin want to win, but the coach actually has a vision and plan to utilize the vast resources that can be available to him at a university like UF. Like was said in the press conference, the right time, right place. I never heard the previous hires talk about having an army of staff to support the mission of being the best program in the SEC. And while I know the brand has taken a hit, I am completely confident that UF is one of the few programs that can rapidly turn things around. There are only a handful of programs like that in the SEC and nation. We are one of them. So with the right coach, and hopefully this is our guy, its going to be a good run around here.
