Despite this though, I have always been optimistic at the beginning of every season because I (wrongly) believed that THIS is the year they finally figure it out and find the right formula. With this new OC I thought that Driskell would finally be in a system that would fit him and that we would by opening it up and using plays and a hurry up that would keep the defense on it's heels. Instead we have gotten the same old predictable and unimaginative crap that dates back to "DIVE, DIVE, DIVE!". We've had three top 5 HS QB's come to Gainesville only to fail miserably. No one has been developed at all. Our linebackers are non-existent, we have no pass rush, Driskel is still making terrible decisions, our receivers still drop balls, DB's still give up huge plays, and even when we win fans are left leaving the stadium shaking their heads knowing that this crap is never going to get us to the promised land.
Our next coach has GOT to be a home run or else we will have to resign ourselves to 4 or 5 more years of being irrelevant.
There's actually a quote from one of our biggest recruiting targets regarding the offense, saying "no one wants to play in that system", following the game Saturday.
Of course, he compliments the defensive effort. But if anyone thinks that continuing at the current pace isn't going to set us back 3-4 years, they are either in full blown denial or have a serious drug problem. Go look at fsu 2006-2010 for a glimpse of what we'll be, and then swap an ACC schedule with an SEC slate. It's happening, guys. There are no more "what if's", nor is it negative projecting. It's reality at this point.
