While watching his work at Bammer and at Meechigan, I will say that next once did the thought that "I'd like to have their offense" ever enter my mind, not even for a split second.t-gator;n126082 said:

I don't care who the next OC is, but damn it he better be the only one for at least the next four years or I will start drowning kittens again.

Dear Friends,May I point out that at least in Germany at 1031am local in 6 Dec I don t know what bowl we ll play in or who we ll play, and that a key issue for Ropers future I think.

ps, who is injured and won t play is also critical.

Some of the comments on here indicate a segment of Gator Nation who believe Roper was free to call the plays as he thought best. There are plenty of indicators to the contrary. I believe Roper, like wies and pease, were handcuffed and I'd like to see what he could do (and maybe learn) under Coach Mac.

I would like to say
to this, but Roper also strikes me as a team player, and regardless he wants to work next year whether it is at UF or elsewhere.Perhaps though, that decision hasnt actually been made yet.

Because he's got a contract and is getting paid to do it until he's told otherwise, and he hasn't been told otherwise yet.

Not only is he still getting paid by UF could it also be that he feels its wayyyyyyyy more to his advantage to try and do his job, show Mac what he can do, and perhaps work for Mac? It's gotta be better working for him than the previous HC and perhaps may be better in the long run??? Just thinking about that.

Judging from Mac's CSU offense Roper may feel he is better suited to work under him than trying to go it somewhere else. He may also know that he won't be saddled with someone else's choice for QB. As complimentary as Mac was about Muschamp at the press conference he may know what a lot of Gator Nation speculated about Muschamp controlling the workings of the offense.

But wouldnt that mean the same thing for him? I mean JM has his own offense he will most likely take control of....we arent going to run Ropers offense if there is such a thing...

That is the million dollar question, does Roper have an actual offense that is his. His last year at Duke he split game planning duties with the guy who is there offensive coordinator now. And he has followed the Offensive mind of Cutcliffe basically his whole career, who could have also been doing a large part of the game planning duties.

Exactly. Can he somehow adapt to this new offense and do we really want him to? All I saw from him was a yes man that did whatever champ told him to do.
