Gators, MUCH better days are ahead. I'm pumped!

I'm looking forward to having hope again.

I'm looking forward to having hope again.

I'm looking forward to seeing you have a national champions sig again

Fellas, fellas, fellas. I was just trying to make a point I'm going to be behind the next coach. Lane Kiffin is not going to be the next coach.

Glad to hear that, Ox. I thought maybe you were drinking... I'm on board with your enthusiasm, but I'm not willing to say I'll accept "anybody." Just about any hire, I'll be willing to support them and give them a chance to prove themselves, but I still have certain standards and kiffy doesn't come close.

I'm looking forward to thinking we have a chance against mediocre teams. Yea, its gotten that bad.

No matter what happens to finish this season, I'm certain that we're going to have a new coach going forward. And I tell you, that just pumps me up. Just to be able to be optimistic again, to be unified with the fans again, to stick a fork into the vast majority of the negativity is going to be fabulous.

Saying that, there is going to be a lot of debate about the new hire, whoever it is. Some people aren't going to be happy with it. Whether or not I'll be "happy", I can't say, but I can say I'll be squarely behind whoever it is. Whoever is hired, I'm an instant nutswinger. Yup, even if it's Lane Kiffin. I'm going to support the new coach as much as I can.

We've got a tough road ahead of us, and the new coach is going to have his work cut out for him. I think the fan base is beaten down to the point where we can be faaaaar more patient than we've been in the past. We've been humbled, no doubt about that. To go from the mountaintop to filing out in the 3rd quarter of our Homecoming game in six years, that humbles people. We're a different group than we were five years ago. I don't know about better (some would say so), but different.

When our new coach is hired, you're going to see Gator fans that you forgot existed come out of the woodwork. The message boards are going to be flooded. Love and optimism will be flying everywhere - I nearly have a tear in my eye thinking about it.

I have no idea who the new hire is going to be but I'm already excited about it. Unlike last year, this could be one great offseason.

Discuss. And let's keep this thread positive. Tell me what you're looking forward to the most.

This is the most outrageous....I mean oxrageous statement you've ever made.

Where is the Jack Daniels? I have to lie down now

Isn't it a waste of good booze for you hillbillies to lie down? Doesn't it just all run out your bunghole?

 

[heavychevy]

I'm just looking forward to watching a team that looks like they all practiced together at the same time during the week.

When there are no teams left with less than 3 losses, I'll put it back.

 

[GatorTAG]

Ox is officially a sunshine pumper now.

But if Lane freakin Kiffin is hired I'm shaving my head and moving to Quebec.

 

[PaulDrake]

When Muschamp was originally hired I was not a happy Gator. I watched his introductory presser and listened to him explain how though he was a 3 yards in a cloud of dust guy he would still run a pro offense. I hoped I was wrong and prepared for the best. I was optimistic even though the vibe I was getting was bad. But it did feel good thinking we were going to be competitive no matter the outcome. I was hoping that my gut was wrong as it has been wrong before. But nevertheless I was ready to move on and it felt good anyway. I'm looking forward to having that feeling again no matter who the coach is. So here's to the new hire, whomever he is. Long live the new HC of the Florida Gators!

 

[GatorJB]

The best thing I can say is there is no where to go but up.

We've been saying that for 4 years now. I'm happy that this could finally be the last year where that statement is true.

 

[aka]

We were pumpers before pumping was cool.

 

[Bullag8r]

Ox is Mr 2 Bits now

 

[SavannahGator]

I just want an offense-minded person. As Ox said, I'd even welcome Kiffen. He may be a horse's a$$ sometimes, but he's never been involved in an NCAA investigation, indeed, he inherited the mess @ USC that Carroll left the next coach. No, that being said, I don't think Foley will choose Kiffen.

The new coach doesn't have to have UF "ties" (well, Urban didn't). He just has to be able to generate some offense, some interest, some buzz.

We still have a ways to go before this happens. I do believe that Foley will stick to his own deadline of waiting til the season is over, and face it, he can't talk to another NCAA coach until that coach's regular season is over. But I do think that better days are ahead.

 

[aka]

It really is sad to see how desperate some of you have become to even consider Lane Kiffin.

 

[oxrageous]

Kiffin isn't going to be hired, so I'm not worried about it.
