Saw that earlier today. Mighty fine statement by him. Plus Donovan would never throw anyone under the bus, he's too classy and would look horrible.

It doesn't? That's exactly how it sounded to me. Donovan said exactly what you'd expect he'd say. In fact, if someone had asked me beforehand what I thought Donovan would say about Muschamp, it would have been almost verbatim. "He works hard, blahblahblah."

If the results we're seeing are the result of Muschamp working hard, he's obviously not working hard enough.

And he likes the guy. He isn't going to say anything bad about him. Atleast definitely not to the press for it to be published across the country.

If only hard work was enough to make a good football coach. My yard guy would work just as hard and do it for much less.

I think he wouldn't do any worse than what we have.

I agree with everything Donovan and yes it was coach speak. Personally, I don't think Wuschamp is a bad person and I certainly don't think he is some Bulldog plant to ruin the Gators. He is a very good defensive coordinator but a very BAD head coach. He should have been fired after the loss to Georgia Southern last year.

working hard is different than working smart, or even being able to handle the job.

believe me, I know first hand. I have had a fail or two, (3, 4, ...) in my life and the key is to learn from it and move on. you definitely cannot go back and change it.

I agree except he is not that great of a defensive coordinator or we would not have all the issues with our defense that we have seen recently.

Its obvious that people really like champ as a person. He is probably a great guy and a good family man. I have never once thought he didnt want to win or that he wasnt working his butt off. He has done some nice things with the program as far as trouble is concerned. Sometimes, its just not enough. He will probably be a good HC one day when he gets experience under his belt but that experience should have come from starting at a small university somewhere and not at a high profile top tier program like UF. Its unfortunate that it had to go this way but it did and here we are. Its done.

People write "works hard" on a performance review to try to justify giving a D to a guy whose actual performance deserves an F. If he were performing his job well, that's what they would write. I guess a guy who is working hard and failing is better than a guy who doesn't even try but is failing to some extent. It doesn't change the fact that the guy is a massive failure.

Hate to say it, but I agree with you Dan.
