Could it be this team's better than we and everyone else thinks?

[Swamp Donkey]

You have always thought he will be back FG. Can we fire him if he manages to win a couple of games in November?

Yes, because finishing 3rd in the SEC east isn't good enough.

Yes, because 7 wins isn't even close to good enough.

Yes, because the program needs a complete rebuild again and is worse than when he took over.

Yes, because he will be just as fvkking stupid with the next group of Driskels, Dunbars, Burtons, Westbrooks, and Taylors.

Yes, because can't keep his fingers off the offense.

Looks like sumbody stepped on MJM's douchebag again....

 

[aka]

Right. Pulls the "real/true Gators" line then says "we're all Gators."

 

[Kyng]

Wuerffel, Grossman, somewhat Leak, and Tebow spoiled us.

In fairness, you and a lot of other people said in the offseason that at the very least, we needed to make it to Atlanta for WM to keep his job. Granted, the Bama and Missouri debacles (and Westbrook dropping the game winning TD against LSU) put a damper on the first half of the season, and what would basically be backing into the SECCG in a three way tie wouldn't be as impressive as winning the East outright. But in fairness, you did say he needed to make it to Atlanta to keep his job.

All that to say, once again, that short of actually winning the SECCG, WM's termination would be justified. Although if somehow we were to win in Tallahassee and lose in Atlanta, that would be a peculiar position for Foley to be in. Just playing Devil's advocate here. It's also entirely possible that we could win out and not make it to Atlanta all together, in which case Foley's decision to fire WM would be a lot easier.

So cheer up, boys! You can root for us to win the rest of our games and not have to worry about it saving Muschamp's job if Georgia beats Auburn or Missouri beats Tennessee! You get to root for Georgia again! :dance2:

At the end of the day, I don't think any of us is blind (there may be some stupid...but not blind). We all saw what was going on. The stubborness from the top man. I don't care how the season ends. He made his bed and it's time for him to go. I honestly can't believe there are people who actually want him to stay on. It's unreal. He's exactly who we thought he was....and we better not let him off the hook! Foley needs to man up....but for some reason, I think Foley is going to make the fool's choice.

I'm praying that you get the help you need.

LOL!!!

So, the ALL TIME leader in passing yards at the University of Florida gets a "somewhat" ? I will never understand peoples perception of Leak. It must be because one half of his playing career was spent with the Zooker.

Somehow I think Leak's career would be looked at much differently if he didn't have those multiple occasions where he ran on 3rd down and slid just short of the 1st down marker.

 

[Okeechobee Joe]

If the Gators beat FSU the entire city of Gainesville will have to be put on suicide watch.

 

[G8RNGA]

To the OP, no. One player is creating things we weren't seeing from this offense before, but I don't think it's better than what it is - a team that isn't consistent on offense. I think Tag's comment about the playcalling and rhythm are also something that has stood out to me.

OK just who do you think will come here and be better? Also how many years will it take to get our program again adjusted to the new persons desire? Please don't mention any of the several prominant coaches that are not coming here or anywhere.

You are saying not to mention certain coaches names. To me that doesnt make sense. Any name you mention is guessing and could be a possibility. I think a good coach can turn it around in the 2nd year.

 

[MJMGator]

It was done in jest at those that think they are better fans because they continue to support our failure of a HC. Try to keep up.

At the time, I thought the same thing. I remember saying we will never win it all until he sells out on those third down plays. I was VERY happy for him when we won in '06, thought it put some of those slides in the background. Being that the guy playing behind Leak sought contact, didn't help the perception that Leak didn't do everything possible to win.

Oh, it's going to take the new coach a couple of years to get us where we need to be, no doubt. However, if we keep the current staff we'll NEVER be where we want to be. Do you want a couple of years or never?

Who? I think ANYONE that has a proven track record as a winning head football coach. Are you serious? I'm not saying Stoops, or any of the other unrealistic coaches people keep mentioning. I'm talking about a PROVEN head football coach....which Muschamp is not. He has failed MIS-ER-A-BLY! It's pathetic and if you honestly want to keep him I'm sad for you. The guy has to go. He is NOT coming back next year and all of a sudden becoming a Saban, Meyer, Spurrier, or any other successful coach. Hell, he's not even going to be a Richt, Mullen, or any coach w/ a better than 55% winning record. The guy is horrible and has mismanaged this program to the point of hitting rock bottom....and you're suggesting the best option is to keep him and roll the dice that he's going to OUT OF NOWHERE become successful? That's hilarious! I'd rather see Kerwin Bell (who IS a proven head coach).

To answer your other question, "how many years...?" If we got a PROVEN head coach, I imagine in year 2 we'd be winning again (9-3 or better, year in and year out). This is year 4 and Muschamp has laid another egg.... Sorry to burst your bubble.

If he somehow makes it to Atlanta, we're all in for another year of Muschamp ball. Like many of us have said time and time again, that was our biggest fear about giving him another year. He would do just enough to justify (in Foley's mind) yet another year. The program is in poor shape, recruting at an all-time low, the fan base is totally disengaged and another year could be disastrous. Scary stuff.

 

[Alagator]

That's pretty sad considering we would have just beat a hated in state rival. Could our hatred for Muschamp possibly be worse than our hatred for f$u?

 

[Maillot Jaune]

You know how many years it takes to adjust a program? 1.

The players, fans, recruits and competition know when the "right" guy shows up. I knew that in '80, '90 and '05....and so did everyone else.
