Sources indicate Florida may have a strong interest in Ronald Curry to fill WR job.

Not exactly thrilling.

Well, it's...... Someone.

 

[Gator Fever]

Curry doesn't even have a coaching background prior to this season I think except maybe in high school. I guess he has been there for 2 seasons it says.

Would this be an improvement over Chris Leak?

Good way of looking at it.

 

[Bullag8r]

I wonder where this information is coming from? So many names, so many dead ends. Surely Mac is not settling for something like this.

Cue Law

I thought we got Oregon's WR coach? or have I been out of the loop so much that I missed where he declined or backed out?

We'll see if Curry is the guy. But to you're question, yes, he would be an improvement over Leak if hired. A WR with multiple seasons in the NFL, and, even though it's minimal, a year coaching in the NFL, is an upgrade over Leak, in my opinion.

I thought Coach said we were going to like the hire.

More 20/20 hindsight.

You still cant shake that Muskskank Love, can ya, Bull?

You mistake objectivity for love. Muschamp hate has dimmed your objectivity. Its water under the bridge. Cant change the past so I am moving on. How about you?

He actually played receiver in the nfl for a while idk how much experience he has coaching the position

Ok, maybe an improvement but not what we have been led to believe as a high impact hire. I am not complaining.

No, any objective observer knew Chimp was destined to fail. You can't totally abandon offense and win at football. Objective observers from across the country branded him dead coach walking before the year, much to your chagrine.

You and Chimp were the last to figure it out (and I'm not sure he has yet).

I was wrong to think that keeping his job was important enough to persuade him to embrace change.

Conversely, just as many expert objective observers believed he was going to turn things around.

I have no problem owning my mistakes, I just don't understand your insistence of wanting to crucify anyone with a different opinion. Truth is, no one knew exactly what the outcome would be and we all rely on hindsight.

Yeah, I had some small hope he'd just turn the keys over to Roper.

Interestingly, the fact that Ugly's idiotic DC may be the only person on the planet that hadn't heard that Chimp won't pass, giving us an improbable win actually ENSURED that Chimp would revert to 2012 mode and hang himself.

It's pretty easy for me to argue that, objectively, the best predictor of future performance is past performance.

You were HOPING, and there's nothing wrong with that, we are fanatics after all, but you weren't being objective. You know you weren't.

Hopeful, but not optimistic.

........ objectively, the best predictor of future performance is past performance.

In that case, I guess we know what to expect from you in the future.

Was that a sex joke?
