He was blowing me with great gusto, not sure he was really upset about anything.
This is the bottom - we start heading up from here

I'm too numb to care right now!
It's no fun to be a Gator anymore..
Yes losing sucks but it's the lack of respect that really galls me. We have become the focus of well deserved jokes!
Jokes and pity..... FML!
Oh, go gators!

Don't understand this. We're getting a new coach ahead of schedule. It's time to start caring again, and it's time to start having fun again.

I think we are all a little apprehensive about being joyous at the moment. We got a new coach 3 years ago after what we thought was a "it can't get any worse than this" situation. Guess what, it got worse. So even though I am glad Mac is gone (or so it seems) I am cautiously optimistic that we will make a great hire instead of waiting for 50% off sale at the coach store.

Can it get even worse with someone new? It's hard to see it, but who knows? Hopefully Foley won't be allowed anywhere near the process.

We have to hire someone who can fix this offense and clean up the sloppy product on the field (penalties, crappy ST and poor route running etc.) For me, it obviously has to be, not only a offensive guy, but also a technician that understands how important the details are. And for gods sake, a guy that can take podium and not look like an idiot.

Technically I guess it could get worse, but you know what? I am going to go out on a limb and say there is no way it can get any worse. I could spew off all the blowout losses, the OT game with FAU, all the bonehead mismanagement of games on a weekly basis, etc. But lets just look at the most recent scenario. 2 full weeks to try and improve a small bit, some sign that the ship is trying to turn. Well we actually went full throttle in reverse. Double digit penalties, half of which were just mental, attention to detail penalties. Not one offensive play that was a new wrinkle. 2 weeks and the only thing that was accomplished was the team got worse. How does that happen? We know how it happens. How in the world did UF become a proving ground for guys that can't coach their way out of a paper bag? B/C that is what it seems like we have been for the better part of 15 years.

Well you know what. In that case it is better for us, the fans, in the long run, that the team either laid down or looked like steaming dog doodie. B/C if they had rallied the troops and done something surprising, those jock straps over at the admin might have gotten cold feet and actually thought Butters could coach. If it took them getting hit over the head with a baseball bat then so be it.

We can't go much lower so it really can't get that much worse but it sure as hell can get a whole lot better. Even if we were to have the whole team suspended and get the death penalty it really wouldn't feel much different than this. Being numb from the program is where we are and I am excited to actually care again!

He said so himself in his post game presser. He talked to the team about the buyout "rumor."

If I may take the other side, i would say that it "did" show on the field that they loved playing for him. Who would not love playing for a guy who lets you do it your way? As a WR you can just round off a pass route and not have to stick your foot in the ground and cut sharply? Who would not like to field punts inside the 5 yd line on a consistent basis and not get chastised for it? Who would not love playing for a guy who allows defensive backs to consistently go for the WOW hit and miss a tackle on a consistent basis? Who would not love playing for a guy who is not boring you with fundamental drills on a daily basis and instead letting you have 60-90 minutes of recess on the playground everyday. I say they loved playing for the guy b/c it was never brought up that success and improvement can actually be fun!!!!!!

I just read this too, and that is a straight up ass move. Really who lays that on their players or their metaphorical kids before a big moment? Ya, just concentrate on the game.....
Ox is right about one thing, a new coach brings hope. That alone makes it better.

Yeah, Ive yet to hear much out of the players except no comment. Or the comments that I feel like the dedense did enough to win.
Certainly they dont seem pissed the way the D guys-- at least-- were when Chimp was being fired.
