That's huge. I remember a question asked in a thread here last year to the effect of what offense ranking posters would be satisfied with after Dan's first year. I don't remember anyone answering with a ranking higher than the mid-40's.@DK_Thompson: Florida will finish the season with the 22nd ranked scoring offense in 2018. It had not finished higher than 43rd in the last 8 years - with the average over those 8 years ranking 79th in the FBS. #Gators
@DK_Thompson: 20th in the country in scoring defense.
I guess just some guy asking a question on Twitter.24 in total defense.
BTW .... who is Ray Pope?
Probably technically the second year......First year grade depends on NSD, right now holding a B+, could be an A- or A depending on NSD.
Strange but I relate to this post as a fan because from 2011 until about the 4th game of this season I always felt we were most likely going to lose against anyone with a heartbeat...just a non enjoyable, queasy feeling surrounded me anytime I watched us play, even in 2012...It also took a while to get the kids to believe.
Imo this is the biggest thing. You heard Lewishat was Lewis, right?--saying he was ready to quit. I doubt he was the only one. They were certainly playing like a team that quit and didnt believe in Butters.
This is a big deal. Attitude is everything, and he had to figure out how to bring them back without breaking the most fragile of the bunch.
The psychological aspect of making kids winners was actually CUM's strength. He was never really an Xs and Os guy. It seems like some of it has rubbed off on Mullinz.
Agreed. Gave an A- due to the shaky recruiting and losing to freakin UK and Mizzou. A 10 win season and definite improvement over the year with wins over FSU and Mich even out the lows.
Spurrier and Meyer both beat Georgia in their first year, but that wasn't really my point. Was a damn good first year, but not an A. Remember B is above average. An A comes with an SEC championship trophy.
@BourbonGator84: Solid year one.
Probably technically the second year......
