Dear Troll, that is NOT revisionist history. We started Spring Training with 7 scholarship O'lineman. One of them suffered a career ending injury. We finished Spring Training with 6.That's some revisionist history if I ever saw it. The OL was thin due to injuries, Mac had grier and Driskel...
When muschamp left we had 9 OL. Two declared early for the NFL which left us with only 7 to start spring training with. We should have NEVER been in that position. Even the biggest Mac haters readily admit how bad the OL situation was. There is a reason we had FOUR FRESHMAN either started or get significant playing time in Mac's first year. There is a reason a D3 transfer who could barely bench press his own body weight transferred in and won a starting job on the OL. Our offensive line was in shambles and that is all on muschamp and his complete disregard for recruting that position.
Despite 'Cretes love for Grier, Grier got himself suspended by taking a banned substance. Period. It is drilled into these kids over and over to NOT take something without first checking with the staff. He did not and got himself busted. It was also heavily rumured that he was a habitual cocaine user. As talented as the kid was... he and daddy clearly didn't think the rules applied to him. I don't hate the kid. I wish he was still here. Mostly, I wish HE had made different choices... If he had, he'd be our starting QB today.
And Jeff Driskel... are you kidding me??? muschamp didn't leave JD for Mac. Muschamp RUINED JD to the point that he decided his only option was to transfer... as his confidence was so shattered he didn't think he could ever take the field for the orange and blue again.
muschamp left Mac with:
- 6 scholarship OL
- 1 coked up, PED taking, lion tattooed on his chest QB, and 1 midget QB who had more run-ins with the law than TD passes
- and well below average receiving corps... or should I say a group full of corpses
