Recruiting Transfer Portal: Jordan Hermann enters Portal

[gardnerwebbgator]

This is what he's doing for sure. He doesn't care about winning next year or even the year after that. There is zero expectation of winning next season. He's just laying the foundation for a run at relevancy in 2025, assuming he can keep the talented kids from transferring somewhere more lax and lucrative, like CU. With a 12-team playoff, we should be able to squeak in there once by 2025 thus landing SunBelt Billy a huge extension and raise. I'll go ahead and start complaining preemptively. It's all so obvious, like election cheating by the deep state Uniparty.

That a losing culture in the whole damned athletic department. You win now. What did Meyer do here in year two? What did Kirby do at UGA in year two?

You'll start? You started before he was hired.

 

[oxrageous]

It’s certainly not surprising to see you doubling down on his embarrassing post.

 

[Egor's Assistant]

You win now.

There's some truth to this. Most Ultra competitive, can't-stand-to-lose types ache to win. And then win a few extra games from will alone. Those who are content to be teachers-of-men and players-of-sport will lose often to the more obsessive must-win-or-die types. Can't remember a laid back coach who wins championships. And I'm NOT saying Billy can't do it. I believe he can with a seasoned team of his own making. So 4th or 5th season. That's a long time for an Ultra-competitive fan like myself to endure.

There's no question Napier has a long-term vision, but I also think you're crazy if you don't think he desperately wants to win every game we play.

 

[Egor's Assistant]

Yes boss. I'll work on it boss. Please send me to camp as soon as it opens.

It's true I was underwhelmed and wanted the Kiffens.

I do think he's competitive and has fire. I remember Muschamp say once after an embarrassing 'L' that he wasn't trying to win just one game. I do think Billy is long range thinker and has a plan that produces fruit. But if you've ever planted a fruit tree, you know it takes a few years and you might not like it when it matures.

So tell me where Im wrong. When has he ever shown the slightest bit of fire in a press conference or in any of those jOURney videos? When has anyone, a player...a reporter...said he got fired up about the results of a game? Hell, has he even gotten angry enough to yell at the refs during a game? Maybe he has and I missed it.

When has he gone out of his way to emphasize a rivalry game? When has he made even the mildest of quips at a rival's expense? When did he do any of that at ULL? Can you imagine him saying or doing ANYTHING Meyer or Spurrier did with regard to our rivals? I can't. I doubt he would have the presence of mind to even remember he had three timeouts to call at the end of the UGA game, let alone call them in the final minute when we had the ball.

From what Ive seen, its just a paycheck to him. He follows his process to the letter and expects things to work. Its not driven by a hatred of losing. Its not even driven by a love of winning. Its driven by love of process for process sake.

I hate to say it but he has a point. You wanted a process guy and that's what it looks like.
We had this discussion before. Winners (Spurrier, et.al.) hate to lose down to their very core. Their egos can't deal with it. They lay awake every night thinking about the last lost until the next loss. Wins aren't celebrated they're expected.
Now maybe Nape is all ate-up about the losses but he damn sure ain't showing any signs.

HC can be a systems guy (not process) but if he is a systems guy, he needs key top managers who are bigger picture and unique thinkers to balance and het them out of their comfort zone. Hopefully has that staff and realizes that there are many paths to the same goals.

Kids can be like that, too.

Three things to keep in mind amidst Florida Gators' roster purge | In All Kinds of Weather

The Florida Gators are undergoing a roster overhaul. Even though it's happening a year later than we would've liked, it's still a good thing.

I love how the author refers to Arkansas and South Carolina as low level SEC programs. Just WTF do you think UF is now post-Urban?

I saw that too.
There have always been two tiers of programs in the SEC and we used to be in the upper tier.
Unfortunately we have traded places with Tennessee and we are now clearly in the second tier.

Let’s pump the brakes here, the inbreds had one good season because of a once in a decade transfer. Let’s hold up on calling them upper-tier.

If you say so.
I hope you’re right

Glad to see ya'll are getting it. Acceptance is the last stage of grief.

He sort of glosses over losing 4 lineman with eligibility left including at least 2 starters ending up at other SEC schools. I guess they didn't enjoy having two OL coaches after all. Letting those lineman get away reminds me of losing Hopper to lower tier SEC team, Missouri, last year. Hopper ended up being the best player on their team (according to their coach) and we were left with gapping holes in our defense.

gapping holes - [insert mom joke here]

They needed a "down year" Alabama team to commit a record breaking 17 penalties in one game. Bama also had a interception taken away they ran back to the Vawl 20. Pair that with a couple of other lucky breaks plus they hit a game winning fg that is arguably the ugliest wounded duck I have seen travelling through the air and you get their first win over Bama in 2000 years.

They let our bipolar team almost come back and beat them at the Inbred Inn. Let that sink in for a minute, that should tell you all you need to know.

The stars align and they get LSU, who is still trying to figure things out, in Death Valley with a 12 o'clock start. LSU fumbles the opening kickoff and its game over. Also, LSU decided to not play thier best defensive player the entire game, one Harold Perkins. Maybe you guys have heard of him.

Georgia absolutely stomped them from beginning to end, the score doesn't reflect that game at all. Georgia could have beat them by 40.

Playoffs are on the line and all they have to do is beat a measly South Carolina team, who just got murdered the week before by a below average Florida squad, and proceed to get BLOWN out of the stadium with their Heisman Trophy QB playing almost 4 quarters before he was injured.

Would you call us back if we got embarrased by Georgia and needed a miracle to beat bama on a last second fg? Not likely
